Ohohohoho sir. Your sarcasm is very subtle.I find it kind of funny that FunPub keeps accidentally choosing to use ‘obscure’ characters that IDW also happens to pick to use at the same time. Last year saw both teams give focus to Ironfist and Pyro, and now we’ve got BotCon’s version of Metalhawk coming out, just as IDW’s setting him up for a role in the RID ongoing. Communication, folks!
Joking aside, this nicely shows how lazy the Fan Club really is.
Not a huge fan of the mould itself. But, yeah, if I were getting the set and did not hate SG, I would probably keep this one.Treadshot: I think that's a SHARP looking figure, nice colors on a great mold with a decent new head. But seriously, a reference to a character that only appeared in a Universe 1.0 Battle in a Box set?? That's obscurity for the sake of it. I like the idea of simply using him as a new figure of Armada Sideswipe. The original was one of the biggest turds in TF history, so he deserves an update. Hot Shot got one, so why not?
Yeah, if I end up with one of these, it will be the first (and likely only) BotCon figure that I customize. (Granted, this "customizing" will only involved a sticker to correct the colour of the faction sigil. But.....)Tracks: You mean Road Rage? She'll be more than happy on my Classics shelf.
This.I think SG's remit- in practical terms; I don't care what they THINK their remit is- is just to make "nice" Decepticons and "mean" Autobots for the fun of it. They really haven't thought about it at all. Hence hippie Soundwave, purple-haired bare-midriff Sari, and- I assume- brutish tribal Junkions who've never watched TV. It's all very knee-jerk simplistic stuff, the kind you'd see on any given kid's DeviantArt.
Well, "shat" is the past form of "shit", right?Why the hell is it called "Shattered Glass"?

-anyone want to split a set?
