In Package Images Of Generations Cliffjumper and Nemesis Prime

Suppressor huh?

Well, there's this guy.

Which sort of makes sense except he's a Decepticon.

If only I can get that nemesis prime art by itself...

The issue's been fixed!

Actually, if Cliffjumper's bio is anything to go by, it makes somewhat sense. In his bio, it says:

Fiercely loyal to the Autobot cause, Cliffjumper sometimes allows his suspicious nature to override good judgement when it comes to rooting out traitors. Before a vital scouting mission, Cliffjumper is certain he's already discovered a Decepticon spy: his partner, Suppressor. A new recruit whose loyalties are murky, Suppressor must earn his comrade's trust or risk capture behind enemy lines.

The last sentence definitely alludes to Suppressor being the Decepticon Mini-Con of the same name, but everything is speculation at this point.

Meh I would rather have arms micron cliffjumper and for nemisis prime a simple redeco of super base Optimus (with decepticon insignias on it) would do sold in US retail ... oh how I miss seeing the Armada ( energon and Cybertron) toyline(s) on Walmart shelfs...

You wouldn't happen to have Nemesis Prime's bio too by any chance, would you?

Because I'm lazy, I don't feel like copying it by hand, and I'm hungry, here's an image from our coverage of BotCon 2014.

Universe 2008 had so-called series, denoting what universe the characters belong to, and Universe 2008 Supressor belongs to the Armada series, not G1. Same goes for all Universe 2008 Mini-Con repaints.

Of course, that won't stop FunPub from repurposing them like they did with Brimstone.

*shrug* It was late at night when I wrote that, so I completely forgot about Universe (2008) Suppressor's origins.

And does the rotor actually pop off like that? That may push it from "neat repaint" to "gotta have it!"


I'm guessing these guys are NOT gang-molded, given Nemesis isn't half yellow?

The rotor does indeed separate. On Bumblebee, it was designed to plug into the side of his arm, forming a rotor shield a la movie-verse Blackout.

I'm certain they are, since Nemesis Prime and Cliffjumper are redecoes of the first wave of Legends, with their partners basically switched around.

So transforming things is hard. Ebay user lena81822 has provided an auction of the Transformers Generation Windblade figure. This figure can be presumed to be the stolen Chinese Blood money addition of the figure, all jokes aside, it provides some of the first in hand images of the figure outside of botcon.

Thanks to the vigilant eye of SW's SilverHammer, we have been pointed in the direction of eBay seller lena81822, infamous for getting upcoming Transformers and putting them up on eBay. Today's offering from them? The upcoming Generations Deluxe Windblade! The figure is heavily mistransformed in robot mode, but nonetheless, these are our first in-hand images of the fan-built City Speaker outside of Toy Fair and BotCon coverages. The images have been mirrored below!

Almost definitely not gang-molded given the release of four of the Targetmasters as campaign "microns" recently. I think they learned their lesson on why gang molding isn't smart with the first 10 minicon teams.
