Wow. I actually really like it. Can't go wrong with that mold. Makes me more excited about the troop builder blastcharge bots I got on clearance years ago. They have a leader now. Heh.

Mind you, trying to emulate that paint scheme will be tough for the home customizers! Whew. :shock:

That said, I'm actually really disappointed we're not seeing a nice G2 or RID throwback like G2 Mirage or Skid-Z, if they're doing Prowl and/or Mirage in the set this year. (Maybe those might show up as TFCC subscription bots next year while the mold is available?)

Motto: "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
Genius, pure genius with the history between BM Blastcharge and Strika.

You see, Blastcharge was a 6-wheeled vehicle, like Strika, but looked nothing like her. When Strika debuted in Beast Machines, fans feared the toy Strika would be a repaint of this:

Image

I know, that actually would be something that Hasbro would nowadays do...

Thankfully, Strika got her own mold. And now, the opposite has happened; Blastcharge as a repaint of Strika. The irony! :lol:

And I just realised the mold choice wasn't as accidental as it may seem: BM Blastcharge has a cannon in his chest like Warpath.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl

If anyone was actually in the class and doesn't want their flag thingy, let me know. I merely bought the assembled one and all it comes with is a missile.
