Big fat doubt. He'd more than likely be a Breakdown repaint. That's just in hopes Hasbro makes their own mold of Breakdown.

Maybe the G1 figure didn't have them, but so what? Things change and evolve. TFs would be pretty boring if they just kept making the same figures over and over.

Also, they're removable, so I don't see why they would annoy you.

I am fine with Transformers that we know and love evolving as the lines move on.
My point was the :michaelbay:

Movie Ironhide cannons which have now been intergrated into every new version, even 3rd Party Ironhides.
Yes I know he's a 'weapon specialist' blah blah but the same can be said for the non-speaking Bumblebee! I mean wtf, give him his voice back and Dan Gilvezan a job!!

(again, I know this is Kup but hey...)

Technically noone has finished season 2.

Oh, I thought it was a typo when more Season two was announced! How weird to have a hiatus like that.

So, no sign of Kup or Ironhide in the show so far and they're releasing these two toys that I don't think look very 'Primey'.

Am I the only one who wants this repainted...

Into Cannonball? :lol:

Seriously, when you release Thundertron in prime you got to have the whole gang.

Axer from Dead End too, please. :grin:

I really like that head. he looks like an ultra drill sergeant, sergeant slaughter even.

I do love this as Kup, as that generations one was a disaster. As for repaints, give me GEARS over Ironhide as a pickup.

They best repaint this or I'm going to be very unhappy I didn't get the mold. Love the figure,but not as Kup. Too beefy, good for a pre-war maybe, ike the Botcon Wings set used him but a modern old fart this is not. Plus, the SSR is a cool truck, and him being able to hold a Shotgun right in robot mode is just too awesome. So for now, in Green, this is barely a pass.

Dude, what are you talking about? That mold is awesome. Maybe everyone doesn't love it, but to call it a "disaster" is ridiculous.

Good question. I assume he's referring to the Chevy SSR, but to my knowledge there is no existing or planned TF based on that car.

That mold was a cross between a 40's and current pick up, that one was retarded. G1 Kup was a Cybertron form. But to each their own. The one in this thread is the only other besides the G1 I have liked so far.
