TFU Universe Windrazor, Ransack, Stockade, Overcharge, Sky Shadow, Scanvenger, Longview, Snow Cat, Treadshot, and Crosshairs. So... Ya think Hasbro is gonna trot out Mini-Con repaint sets every time they need to keep some names in use?
Found this the other day. Some of them are pretty cool repaints.
I guess I won't really call it a movie figure since it doesn't actually appear in the movie.
At least I doubt it.
The only reason I bought him was because of his great helicopter paint deco.
The news copter is great.
Just think of him as being Arnie Pie's chopper.
Not sure why I bought a repaint of him.
I mean... he looks nice and all as a "movie homage" but I didn't need another Jazz.
Admit it.
You bought this only to have the Ratbat and not for the rather mediocre Soundwave.
I mean... let us call him... New Soundwave!
Yes.
I bought a TF2 movie figure.
Yes.
I feel dirty.
I doubt Hasbro will ever make an ice cream truck again.
That my fellow geeks is why I bought a TF2 movie figure.
Now let us never speak of it again.
I love me some Lio Convoy!
This is quite a nice repaint too. Hell... I've got this damn figure in so many other versions I'm surprised I got excited about it. (Though Botcon Razorclaw kicked all sorts of robot ass!)
I'm extremely happy that Hasbro chose to actually give him Lio Convoy's history instead of just doing their usual "Oh... Optimus Prime turned into a lion" or some shit.
Leo Prime IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN Optimus Prime!!!
I don't care what Hasbro calls them now either due to losing the names or trying to remove the bomb damage aspect of their original names.
They will always be Shrapnel, Bombshell, and Kickback to me.
I bought these guys and Perceptor way back in early November and still feel guilty about wasting the money on them.
They were were $35 each or something. Way too much for my tastes these days.
This'll sound stupid but I probably wouldn't have felt bad if I'd bought the TarakaTomy reissues at that price but just to have these here from TRU?
Nah!
The real G1 Perceptor I have is missing all his accessories including his microscope. Not much a Perceptor at all really.
Then again I did only pay like $3 for him out of some bin at either the Cowtown toy show or Botcon.
Funny. There used to be a time I could remember every stupid minute detail of where I got a figure. Now? Not so much.
Let's face it. The Cyclonus mold is just too damn iconic to really be repainted into anything else without going "Oh... that's a red and white Canadian or Polish Cyclonus." and nothing more.
But I gotta admit... I like him.
What's really amazing about him is his red chromey goodness against the greyscale packaging. It really pops!
I love him.
But I'm a sucker for certain translucent reissues.
