That's right, it's in the wings, they could make it a hybrid figure. If anything it could be a Souvenir or next year's Club Exclusive.

And wouldn't it kinda destroy the bat-like characteristics of Jhiaxus's wings to make the same slots on the wings for the swords that Starscream's wing have?megatronus wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:durroth wrote:honestly, I think my and jelze' main reasonings for jhiaxus over starscream are probably similar.

Retooling Jhiaxus' wings to fit Armada Starscream's swords would probably be a bit much for the Club, no?

Don't ever recall in G1, That the Duocons were referred to as the muscle in the Decepticons army. Knowing TFCC, Think calling Botcon Battletrap the muscle. Is a pun on the Botcon toy car body design, as it's known as a muscle car.

His Universe bio calls it a jeep while his Dreamwave MTMTE bio (no link, sorry) calls it a 4WD truck.Tsutsukakushi wrote:Don't think the sleek racing car form fits the Battle Trap character. Think G1 Battle trap had something similar to a SUV or military hummer type vehicle.
His Universe bio compares his vehicle components to a "wrestling tag-team" and note that he "has good strength in robot mode".Tsutsukakushi wrote::-? Don't ever recall in G1, That the Duocons were referred to as the muscle in the Decepticons army.

Well, Nightracer did previously appear in Transformers: Timelines #9 "A Common Foe" in a body based on the Tailgate mold:RiddlerJ wrote:Someone mentioned using the RTS Windcharger for Nightracer, but I think a better retool for that mold would be Rook (the 2002 one).

For those in this situation who would be willing to become more familiar with Packrat as a character, you can read the story (legally for free) he first appeared in here - http://www.botcon.com/archive/story/1997/index.htmlprjkt wrote:Packrat: Rattrap's a good mould and all, but have no attachment to the character.

Uncle Sam didn't give me a refund last year or this year and I had new deductions (still owed money). Go ahead Uncle Sam...misappropriate my tax dollars as that's all you seem to do.
