And was there any memorable cartoon-original TF character that appeared before Devcon did? If he was the first, then that further helps bring sense to this.
Cobotron wrote:Hey! You seemed to have attracted a wild Megatronus. They're hard to find, but boy are they fun when you catch one!
Well, think about it. If they wanted to create toys of comic-original and cartoon-original characters to pay tribute to both of their respective sources of fiction, wouldn't it make sense for an anniversary set to choose (among) the very first ones ever created by each?megatronus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:So that kinda make the selection of those two for this set really make a lot of sense.

If it only makes sense to you, I wouldn't really call that making "sense" (no offense)...

I cannot find the word "knight" anywhere under any description of any Devcon character on the TFwiki. Neither can I find it on any Ginrai page (though I can find it in reference to the Sixknight character).
They could have called the set Pirates vs. Local Plumbers 386 and it would have the same amount of relevance to plumbers that it has to knights.
Yeah, people, aside from Cannonball, forget the theme and it's pretty clear that this is obviously an anniversary set for the 30th anniversary that commemorates the original comics, cartoon, toyline, and Japanese lore of the brand.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:WiseMan wrote:The set is Pirates vs. Knights.

On the same note, Ferak, Tornado and Scorponok have never been Pirates either in their original fiction. >:oP

For this continuity, yeah. Thundertron exists in the Aligned continuity, though, and has a crew that Aligned Cannonball is a part of.craggy wrote:Cannonball is retroactively the first Star Seeker character as well, right?

Cybertron Cannonball was a pirate though, right? When Thundertron was released as a Star Seeker, and the fiction made it known that he was captain of a crew that included Cannonball, that would have RETROACTIVELY made Cannonball the first Star Seeker to get a toy.![]()

Cybertron Cannonball (UT): Pirate, Captain, no Star Seeker
BotCon Cannonball (G1): Pirate, Captain and Star Seeker
Aligned Cannonball: Pirate, Star Seeker, but no Captain (appears only in Exiles).
Three different charactersThis Cannonball still remains the second Star Seeker toy after Thundertron, but the first for G1.

The more I think about it, is this the first American-released Super Saiyan Transformer?
Yeah, but those forms of theirs weren't that much of the same "Super Saiyan" variety that Fire Guts God Ginrai, Burning Convoy, Flash Lio Convoy, and all the Burning Justice power up forms in the Cybertron cartoon were.Delta Magnus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I don't disagree with this, but despite my initial hesitations towards this figure, it's starting to grow on me.Mindmaster wrote:Nothing against the choices, but I feel there could've been a better choice than Ginrai.

Didn't the "super" versions of the RID Autobot Brothers get released in the west?

yup. and i dont think its unfounded that theyd make a trailer for this guy since theyve done a black one already. besides, maketoys have made two other battle tankers specifically for botcon figures. xovergen totally could too.ScottyP wrote:I think it's awesome. If those Trailerforce guys ever wanted any of my money, this is an opportunity.
thats a little unfair. after all its only a digibash. im willing to bet he looks pretty good in hand. and i like the black on the thighs.Rated X wrote:So basically this is like a wacky prime you can stick with your G2 figures ? The colors make it look like a KO.
