Looks really nice. A simple deco, but very clean and no-nonsense.

And this nails the homage: the license plate reads P1-P35, l33t for "Pipes"

Interesting images, and I never knew he had tribal designs on the doors. Must have. =P~

I like the deco, but I don't wanna pay $30 bucks for a two pack to get him.

Were they really thinking when they came up with the name "Blowpipe" ??? It's like they set themselves up for failure with the urban community....

I .. did not notice that the first time. Hmm. Now I wonder if they used the name Blowpipe because they couldn't simply get 'Pipes'.

Trademarks strike again.

Truly a nod to the older fans who realize who he's supposed to be.

Neat looking figure, but he really doesn't fit too well in the classics line so I'll pass.

I love the Dropkick mold and Blowpipe looks great...except I wish only the metallic/darker grey was used for the figure. Mixing in the substantially lighter grey plastic parts is just ugly. It would have been better to use another colour for contrast than a flat light grey.

i might get this because i did not get the first one. but i will make it a decepticon like the last one.

Well, I have Salvage, and I think that's enough for this mold. I wouldn't mind Dropkick because he has the huge Decepticon logo on the back, but Blowpipe is just plain blue and I don't want to own another Sideways(ever).

I can't explain it but the colors on him look very bad to me. I love Dropkick's and Salvage's look but these colors make it look...not as cool. Does the Sideways have damage or not? Cause the picture doesn't look different but i remember reading that somewhere.

It helps if you read all of the above posts. The Sideways with Blowpipe is unchanged from the regular release, the battle damaged one is in a set with Rampage, Breakaway and a battle damaged Longarm. That set is exclusive to Sam's Club.

Thanks for the info but i must disagree on this point. I read all the posts i just got one of the group packs mixed up thats all. I forgot all about that other group pack with all those people thanks again. I only recentely found out that there was another color; Salvage(mentioned before) and ordered him off ebay, and i thought Dropkick looked cool...point still stands on Blowpipe looking bland/not cool.
