OH! Whoe. I thought Thunderwing was a shoe in. Must put more thought into this....

Mon Apr 22, 2013 3:51 pm

Wow... I'm stumped if it's a Warpath era Generations/Classics figure. Will be holding my breath for a reveal.

So that leaves Scourge (unless by "era" you're counting HftD stuff too). Fun choice if so!

Only other jets I could think of are Thrust, Dirge, and Thundercracker. Outside of Generations we have Lugnut and Highbrow, but both are Voyagers. Jetblade (if that's his name) was among that assortment, and his jet mode is the closest of them all to Needlenose.

Haha, you guys were so much closer with Thunderwing :lol:

Skullgrin? Hhmmmmmmm. So puzzled.

Skullgrin was mobile artillery.

Only other jet I can think of (if slight retools are taken in account) is Black Shadow, a retool of Thunderwing and part of the last assortment of 2011 Generations.

Tue Apr 23, 2013 5:38 pm

FUNNY! I was thinking of Black Shadow, but had totally superimposed Skullgrin's head and color scheme. Wow. Seriously time to go home.

Now we're talking :KREMZEEK:

See I figured Thunderwing, then it wasn't, so I didn't think about Black Shadow but... duh, the chest remold! Makes sense now.

Wed Apr 24, 2013 9:17 am

Wow. That is just about a perfect fit, comparing the chests. With a new head and a fresh paint job, I think this might just shape up to be a fantastic exclusive.

Crossing my fingers now for Black Shadow.

So, should there be a gathering of sorts of any attending Seibertronians? :grin:

I'm attending and bringing my sister. She's a huge Carolina Panthers fan, so we'll be going to the Bears vs. Panthers Pre-Season game Friday Night, then the convention on Sat and Sun.
