What the heck do you mean by "slot car things"

Natron and Freezon.

...I highly doubt I'm right, just tossin' out random stuff.

I'm impressed. Decent guess, and you are actually closer than you may think.

Alright, another hint: think the later 80's, closer to the end of G1 guys

point blank
fastlane
cloudraker
punch and counterpunch

Another decent guess, I wanna say you're in the ballpark.

Bee, you're not even really close. And come on: a bot and a con, the only 2 from this subgroup. Sixshot does not fit that category

Snare and Flattop.

Nope. Wrong subgroup. No one has hit the proper group yet, let alone subgroup

It's bring your Sharkticon to school day:

D, I actually scoured the Siebertron galleries and all the sub classes for a good 30 minutes this weekend, and I came up short. You got a real mind stumper going on here.

Well then, I guess I will need a better clue.

How you been Cobo? You've been a bit quiet recently and I worry.

Alright, how about this for a nudge and a help, complete with full new description:

These 2 figures are the only ones of their kind ever created. Their main group of transformers has been newly represented for the first time in decades and have spawned 3 (sort of) new figures in the past 3 years. Both names have 3 syllables. Thew did a review of one of them many years ago. Neither of them come complete, missing almost all their guns, which ruins one part of the Transformers themselves but due to the nature of their subgroup the lack of this one part is not entirely detrimental. The term "Young Guns" that I just used to describe Bee, Sureshot, and Sigma is actually a slight nod to one of the characters names. Think later G1.

Let's try that out

The Ultra Pretenders?! Skyhammer and Roadblock?!

Oh my dear Cramtastic, you are oh so close! You are miles closer than anyone so far!

Punch/Counterpunch?!

itscramtastic wrote:The Ultra Pretenders?! Skyhammer and Roadblock?!

sky-ham-mer ro-ad-blo-ck

Gunrunner and Roadgrabber?!

Ok, that's three solid guesses.

itscramtastic wrote:Punch/Counterpunch?!

You're straying off course Cram! Think back closer to your first answer! (though Punch/Counterpunch is a secret love affair of mine that I really want a figure of)

itscramtastic wrote:Punch/Counterpunch?!

already guessed this

never woulda guessed that

I HAVE THEM!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

What made you order those guys?! The mechanical spring action weapons?! The vehicles?! The robots that vaguely resemble jets when transformed?!

Ever since watching some of Thew's old reviews, I took an interest in Roadgrabber. I liked the vehicle and I don't have a pretender in any fashion, and with me finding some older figures on eBay for cheap but incomplete, I decided last week to look around.

Sure enough, under my usual $10 or less parameter, was a Roadgrabber! So then I checked the wiki and there were only 2 vehicle pretenders, so I went and found a Gunrunner for pretty much the same price. They both came with the robot and car, and Gunrunner with a missile pod. I decided to give the a go since it was only about $20 for the 2 and it's not like I'd transform the bots into their alt modes anyway considering how those 2 turned out, so I figures the lack of weapons was alright (though the pom-pom action would have been sweet). Plus, maybe I can give them some of the TR weapons that figures really don't need, like Hot Rod's or Twinfernos!

That's really awesome!! I'm fairly certain I still have part of one of tyheir boxes, and I know I still have all of their parts!! The mechanical weapon action is pretty cool when you're zooming around the living room

Hit up Matt at TFL to see if he can source some parts for you!!
