Yeah....what is going on with those ducks! They should have made the windows blue and left it at that. At least the windows are in the same vicinity as the tubes on the original.

'sigh'.....Failure.....IMO :roll:

EDIT: and yes.....clearly they are not meant to be ducks but they SURE AS HELL LOOK LIKE DUCKS!

Looks good, I like it. But if it is indeed meant to be shattered glass, shouldnt it be SG Seaspray AKA Octopunch ??? Kinda like SG Tracks AKA Road Rage ???

Cuz there's already a SG Seaspray (whose design is repurposed from movie Storm Surge).

He definitely looks more Classics than Shattered Glass, I think Deep Dive looks the best of the three.
Also think they should have made the blue paint symmetrical on the abdomen

Well, there are a handful of SG characters who, instead of having familiar bodies with reverse colors, have different bodies with familiar colors. Galvatron, Jazz, Alpha Trion, etc.

Personally,this botcon 2012 octopunch is the worst colored of the trio.

I sincerly doubt the rumored octopunch new head sculpt is gonna save this figure being all kinds of horrible.

I see your point, but for me at least, the use of alternate colors sticks out more as a SG theme than the use of a previously unused alt mode. Using the base colors of a character with a new alt mode is done on a regular basis with the onset of many new lines. In the end though I really don't care, aren't too many SG figures I like anyway.

Because that's the most iconic part of him, plus all Pretender homages have been based off of the shell.

Maybe the tentacles looking like ducks is intentional, because he's a good guy.

They're not supposed to be ducks, unless someone was making an inside joke. They are tentactles that just happen to look like ducks.

I think I like the explanation someone else said earlier in the thread better than the ducks one, it looks like two tentacles fondle his nipples.

I believe you're talking about the ROTF repaint of Wreackage?
That doesn't refference the shell due to not being meant as an update of the original character, while the Voyager version was designed as a Classics version of the character.
SG Bludgeon is just a purpose of RID Bludgeon and ment as a nice nod to that incarnation of the character. I give you that on Submarauder though.

Also another reason why they homaged the shell with this one is the simple fact that, there is no toy that turns into a crab in any of the recent toy-lines, which they limited themselves to.
