So the rumours are true...

I don't get this mould as Treadshot. There was a suggestion floating around that if we got Cyclonus as Metalhawk then Nightstick would probably have been Treadshot. That would have made sense. This pretty much confirms that Metalhawk will be done from Thunderwing, which I don't see fitting half as well. If Swindle from Hound also proves to be true then Catgut from Ravage seems like a given. To my mind if they were going to use the Jazz and Ravage moulds and wanted to do an Actionmaster homage then Rad and Lionizer would have made much more sense.

All that not withstanding it's a pretty nice looking deco on a kick ass mould.

It's an SG version of the Universe (2003) toy.

I want Normal Glass Treadshot.

I'm with you. IMO, to waste a new headsculpt on an Armada/Universe homage is crap. I know that I'll like it better in hand. I just don't need or want this though. Like, ever.

pretty sweet except for a few little things; the yellow square on the side of the vehicle, and the transluscent windshield borders on the left and right. Bot mode is cool though.

I actually don't mind the yellow squares, I feel it adds some detail. Agreed on the windshield borders though.

I kinda like this. Not enough that I'm dying to have it, but I have no major problems with it.

Come to think of it, the color scheme vaguely resembles Energon Treadshot too:



But reversed...works pretty well for SG. Obviously the Armada & Universe homages are more apparent. I like how it has multiple uses.

Wow, this looks nice and so far even the head looks cool!

I'm on the fence though, I'm only interested in the Classics portion of the set and don't need SG, but it does looks so smexy.

Now that is a good looking Transformer. Of course the mold is killer to begin with. After i've mercilessly scratched that oxymoron symbol off of his hood with a crude knife, I wonder which shelf I will be putting him on and as what character....

Just put a sticker over it, that way you can still sell it off later on.
You could use it as Classics Armada Sideswipe or even better, Classics Nightbeat!

The real reason this exists for Kick-Off:



That head is spot on.

I think this not a Fun Pub head remold, but as Counterpunch pointed out when we did the podcast last night, this is the alternate head that Hasbro already designed (probably with the intention to do Kick-Off - just look at the gun similarities).

Now that you mention it, it does look spot-on, maybe that's the reason the head sculpt looks so good, it wasn't designed by FunPub, but by Hasbro.
Remember that second head for RTS G2 Prime we saw in the instructions? The artwork for SG UM kinda looks like that too, but what character has a skull like head and turns into a truck?

I wonder if this means that Universe Treadshot was the same character as G1 Treadshot?

[Down_Shift]

So far I like this one the most. Colors work well to me.

Looking forward to seeing Metalhawk from Skyshadow (won't be Thunderwing) and really looking forward to Magnus' face.

Yes a sticker... excellent. I'm thinking he will be keeping Classics Hotshot company. I kinda get a Dion feel from though, after the club exclusive freebie

No, not all SG characters are based on G1 guys.
