Hopefully that subtle yet impressive gimmick gets recreated here.

This is Tigertrack, so the head would be Sideswipe's, right?

You betcha. For those not in the know, he's based on e-Hobby G1 Tigertrack, who in turn is based on the yellow variety of the original Diaclone toy.
Trivia: Did you know Sideswipe was originally planned to be yellow and Sunstreaker to be red, matching their Diaclone releases? That's why Sunstreaker has red stickers on the shoulders, his bio mentions Sideswipe's "exposed engine" (which is actually his) and that "exposed engine" is the basis for Sideswipe's rocket pack.

More Masterpiece Decepticons would be nice, but I think a smaller Megatron to be in scale with the latest version of Optimus or a Galvatron to go head-to-head with Rodimus would be more of a priority than Reflector.

Well... technically, he has made a "background appearance" in one story, but that's all it was: A one panel cameo. Barely visible, even.Stormrider wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Maybe we can finally get some fictional development for the guy for once.
I would like too. Surprised he has popped up as a background character yet in the comics.

Yeah, an improved Megatron or a Galvatron would be cool and probably more important, but meh, I always loved Reflector and I think it's a bit unfair he seems to have been forgotten by HasTak. When was the last time we got a Reflector? I know he was dropped from the show due to toy licensing issues, but still...I miss old Fleccy.
Now Masterpiece Insecticons would definitely be a good idea. I think they'd sell well and would look great.

Unsure if this was a custom or original but its something to go on...
