This has been on my list of "I must get one" for so long. One day, one day...

Ah, Skowl, you forgot one of the best points about Cannonball - he comes in a 2 pack with Downshift, making it perhaps the best value for money 2-pack ever made.

This is a great figure! Very useful in keeping up with the hidden gems of the 25 years of the Transformers line. Wicked first review too. Will this be weekly or monthly?

Hopefully weekly. We couldn't do it on a monthly basis since that would mean we could only do 12 reviews in a year, and there are more great figures than that! We got 25 years worth to cover!

Yup, and you can still get that 2-pack for a fair price on eBay. I got it just recently for $20, including shipping! And Downshift is even cooler than Cannonball, IMO! So, yeah, it probably is one the best TF 2-packs ever.

For the record, I was not even aware that two-pack even existed. Most of those value packs were never released in Canada, so I never got to see them in stores. But yeah, it's great added value, especially since Downshift is also a brilliant figure.

cannonball i dont like to much suv pirate with lights i undestand the lights on his vehical mode have to do with anything ma look better if they took the lights off.

eye patch i took it as a two face thing going on there he look like his face was half burned or damaged

crankcase right now is the only rpaint i like so far detail bio everyything he looks like red alert evil twin with differnt colors.

While I liked Red alert, I simply don't think the Mold is that good.
It does have its good points mostly his little accessories, I still think the execution could have been a lot better.

With that said, I think the Cannonball deco is really original, and really makes the mold completely different from Red Alert. But I don't particularly like it.

But as someone already said I think Crankcase is a better repaint.

It took me awhile to pick up Cannonball and as soon as I got and opened it I fell in love with it. I like the way Cannonball transforms because it's so unique. The color scheme really brings out the detail of the figure unlike Red Alert. It does lack some movment, but all and all still a great figure!

This is exciting stuff! Can't wait to see who's next!
