Non - mainstream saw FunPub Serpentor and there were a few crossover vehicles as part of a SDCC set (Starscream, Shockwave, and Jetfire) along with JI Joe styled figures of Ravage, Bludgeon, and more from Fun Pub.
Yes, and there was also Snowcat in Energon, but those are just homages. Snowcat isn't quite a Snowcat, he just has a strong resemblance to one. Viper is a tiny repainted Powerglide, doesn't really scale with anything. Titanium Megatron is only a Cobra tank in name, he isn't based on anything. The SDCC stuff and the Marisa with Afterburn set don't Transform so it isn't nearly as satisfying as other Transformers crossovers. Serpentor is really the closest to doing it right, but it's just repaint of Ratbat who himself is a retooled Scourge so it was a pretty effortless transition just like the Old Snake with BATS set. We really deserve something new and unique, not repaints and homages, but a purpose built figure (that parts shares with something existing).

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
I managed to preorder mine through Target with one of the $25 off $100 orders. Everything weighted, I got him for $52.50 after taxesEmerje wrote:Just waiting for a coupon from Target to come along. $10 off $50+ would be perfect.

Just seen that this is up to go on sale in SMYTHS in Ireland circa March - so i presume it the same in the UK TOO.

NOW its worth remembering smyths have a history of slapping up characters on their site that in the end DONT hit the shelves BUT it is a good sign that we may get this on our side of the Atlantic a bit more freely than others.
its a hefty price tag at €85 though !
