BotCon 2012 Octopunch Pictorial Review

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

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

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

Ohp, seems like someones grill is only half painted blue.

I'm suddenly a bit upset I passed on Deep Dive.

Also, quack.

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.

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.

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.

We've already seen Metalhawk in the BotCon registration.

I think I'm just going to slap some reprolabels on him and call him Classics.

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