I'd never think Botcon would comeout with a repaint of an already in production figure and sell it as an exclusive with a fancy new head.


That, wasn't sarcasim...was it?


I assumed you would be the one to know that Counterpunch... :P

I thought it was sarcasm too, but still made my statement above...


Sarcasim is a sign of inept literary ability.

I would never stoop to such tactics.

Now you'll excuse me. I have gospel practice to attend....

Hey, nobody calls Tigertracks un-corisimatic!!

Everybody would call me un-chorusmatic that knew me. Appreciate the punchline though...

And a lucky draw would be most welcome...I love shiny things, like Counterpunch's personality! :P

My thoughts exactly. I like the figure, but I would've preferred a grey scheme, rather than all that white! I'm still getting it though (besides, I already bought the set, LOL)!

For me, the helmet stays on, and he gets called SixShot. He does have a total of six weapons, at least... 2x shoulder cannons, 2x wrist missiles, 1x double barrelled rifle, and quad head-cannons.

Interesting idea, I had not thought of that...Sixshot. :-?

I like it - especially the color scheme. My first reaction to the head sculpt was WTF?, but I slowly began to like it. He looks a bit crazy; like he loves to be given orders to blow stuff up.

I like the colour scheme because it's so old-school kitschy. Apart from the articulation and whatnot there's nothing that looks modern Transformer about him.

Too bad I'll never get my hands on the fellow. Ah well.

I do really like the Dreadwind character, but as nice as the new head mould is, it doesn't seem enough somehow - certainly not worth whatever it is it's going for. I'm currently working on my own version of this, actually, and hopefully it'll turn out somewhat more Dreadwind-y than this has. If I only I had access to the casting facilities...

Predaprince wrote:Yes, that is a good Dreadwind. Here's hoping they make a Classics Darkwing and the combine alt. gimmick exists with the two as it was in the originals.

I'd like to do this, but I really have no idea how you'd combine anything with this mould.

Is it possible that the helmet covering it up is a factor?

Consider this:

Take a Classics Seeker mold, preferably a Starscream/Ramjet hybrid. Half-transform the seeker, by folding the cockpit into robot mode, but leave the nosecone intact. Set this on top of the Jetfire/Dreadwind jet, once you've removed the rocket pack. See what I'm getting at? You just need to attach the pegs from the rocket pack to the upper surface of the seeker jet. It means sacrificing an entire Jetfire to do it... but then you could have an effective (if smaller) Darkwing, and still maintain the Dreadwing combined form.

Holy crap that is UGLY. At least he has a nice set of pearly white teeth. :))

Thrust, Thundercracker, and Dirge are awesome...Dreadwind and Bugbite not so much.

i like the bug bite repaint much better than this jetfire one. changing the head doesn't make me want it that bad. the dirge and thrust are cool too. i'd trade my ramjet for the dirge. is there going to be a way to ever get these without going to the botcon, or buying from e-bay? :-?
