Dude please chill out. The comic this figure jumped from the pages of was shoehorned into the ongoing story. The figure designed a long time ago, as is usual for the company that made him. the comic he comes with was thrown together and squeezed into the story to sell a toy. while this is IDW Trailcutter, this is absolutely CHUG Trailbreaker. This is the answer to what fans have been askinf for for years. It is not unreasonable for collectors to ask for more G1 themed accessories and to flip out on him like you did is unacceptable in my opinion.
Chill? That would imply I was raging and pissed off at the time, which isn't true.
Hasbro has been working close with idw for a while now. I remember them stating that they (Hasbro) where interested in a closer collaboration since All Hail Megatron, going so far as to forcing idw to use designs for some characters based on toys, some that made sense (Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, the Universe toys where pretty new at the time) other that made no sense at all (Seekers based on the MP mold, Starscream and Skywarp where long sold out, and Thudnercracker wasn't even available at the time.), back then some (including me) believe that to be utter Bullsh*t. Now that we see how the current season of Generations is mostly based on idw characters, and Sandstorm's design sketch being from 2010, we know that to be true. So you're partially right about Trail- who cares, but he's still the idw incarnation, and this set is still meant to further enhance that fact.
Dude, it's Rated X, I've had to deal with him for years, him and his unreasonable attitude. Most of his posts are geared towards pissing people off, often times he posts on stuff he has no interest in what-so ever, but he'll post just to piss people off. That's why he managed to accumulate so many warnings in such a short time.
What pisses me off even more about him is the fact that I used to defend him behind the scenes, until even I had to realize that he's a waste of matter.
If Rated X's behavior is acceptable to you, then me finally cracking and calling him out is more than acceptable.
Yes this figure is Trailcutter
Yes this is Classics Trailbreaker as well.
In my opinion, a set like this should come with the weapons and accessories needed to make this figure look more G1 as well as stuff help bring the comic to life on your display shelf or in your playtime.
No it shouldn't, it's an idw inspired set, making it a set that goes both ways would be a waste. Everybody would have parts he wouldn't need, the ones that want a cartoon feel would have the useless hands and this style of shield, and the idw fans would have the gun hand and shoulder launcher, and G1 style shield. And that pissed people off since they payed money for it.
This is a discussion and i would rather read about why he doesn't like a product (Superheroish/hasbroish) than just read that he doesn't want it or that its a pass, as often is the case with a lot of our comrades.
Fine, if you like his posts go back and make sure to read as many as I have, then we can see if you still love them.
and while we're pointing out BS, you and Nos filled half the page with nothing. thanks for that. and you called a member of the forums a Douche-bag. nice job. reported that one.
But it was only half the page, and we brought it back on topic, I've seen worse derailments. And while we're at it, you're doing the exact same thing here, tell me, how exactly does your post or the posts that respond to it relate to the topic of an idw inspired upgrade set for idw Trailbraker exactly?
Doesn't matter if you did report that, I'll still be safer from being banned or have insulted less users and members of staff than Rated X has. So he can go and offend and piss people off as much as he likes and you'll defend him, but if I finally snap and do the same to him I'm suddenly on your bad side?
PM ME PLEASE!
