Suppressor huh?

Well, there's this guy.

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Suppressor

Which sort of makes sense except he's a Decepticon.

[megatronus]

Typo! Nemesis Prime comes with a redeco of Blazemaster, not Roller.

[Uncontrolable_myosin]

If only I can get that nemesis prime art by itself...

[durroth]

really I've only seen wave 1 doing any clogging, and that specifically starscream and megatron. the thing doing more clogging seems to be leftover data disk sets here. Kinda disappointed Cliffjumper didn't get a head remold, given that head is so small to begin with that a new head shouldn't be too much of a trial, but what can ya do?

The issue's been fixed!

Actually, if Cliffjumper's bio is anything to go by, it makes somewhat sense. In his bio, it says:

Fiercely loyal to the Autobot cause, Cliffjumper sometimes allows his suspicious nature to override good judgement when it comes to rooting out traitors. Before a vital scouting mission, Cliffjumper is certain he's already discovered a Decepticon spy: his partner, Suppressor. A new recruit whose loyalties are murky, Suppressor must earn his comrade's trust or risk capture behind enemy lines.

The last sentence definitely alludes to Suppressor being the Decepticon Mini-Con of the same name, but everything is speculation at this point.

Meh, repaints.

>Going randomly in a store, hunting new TFs.
>Come accross Legends Nemesis Prime.
>It's on sale like, 2$ off.
>Instant impulse buy.

Meh I would rather have arms micron cliffjumper and for nemisis prime a simple redeco of super base Optimus (with decepticon insignias on it) would do sold in US retail ... oh how I miss seeing the Armada ( energon and Cybertron) toyline(s) on Walmart shelfs...

I don't think either of those would fit into the Legends packaging.

You wouldn't happen to have Nemesis Prime's bio too by any chance, would you?

While he is indeed based Universe 2008 Suppressor, they're not the same guy (until we get a retcon from FunPub that is). Universe 2008 had so-called series, denoting what universe the characters belong to, and Universe 2008 Supressor belongs to the Armada series, not G1. Same goes for all Universe 2008 Mini-Con repaints.

Of course, that won't stop FunPub from repurposing them like they did with Brimstone.

[Mindmaster]

Because I'm lazy, I don't feel like copying it by hand, and I'm hungry, here's an image from our coverage of BotCon 2014.

*shrug* It was late at night when I wrote that, so I completely forgot about Universe (2008) Suppressor's origins.

[Noideaforaname]

^ I love how the bio focuses so much on the little guy instead of the big one.
And does the rotor actually pop off like that? That may push it from "neat repaint" to "gotta have it!"


I'm guessing these guys are NOT gang-molded, given Nemesis isn't half yellow?

The rotor does indeed separate. On Bumblebee, it was designed to plug into the side of his arm, forming a rotor shield a la movie-verse Blackout.

I'm certain they are, since Nemesis Prime and Cliffjumper are redecoes of the first wave of Legends, with their partners basically switched around.

Huh, looks like they either took a cue from Armada Nemesis Prime's origins or Masterpiece Black Convoy's origins.

[SW's SilverHammer]

So transforming things is hard. Ebay user lena81822 has provided an auction of the Transformers Generation Windblade figure. This figure can be presumed to be the stolen Chinese Blood money addition of the figure, all jokes aside, it provides some of the first in hand images of the figure outside of botcon.

And pairing him with Spinister may call back to a certain scene in the Armada comics, World Collide pt. 4, in which a G1 Spinister welcomed his death by Unicron with open arms.

[Mindmaster]

Thanks to the vigilant eye of SW's SilverHammer, we have been pointed in the direction of eBay seller lena81822, infamous for getting upcoming Transformers and putting them up on eBay. Today's offering from them? The upcoming Generations Deluxe Windblade! The figure is heavily mistransformed in robot mode, but nonetheless, these are our first in-hand images of the fan-built City Speaker outside of Toy Fair and BotCon coverages. The images have been mirrored below!

[Madeus Prime]

Oh god, that is a hideous mis-transformation. Otherwise, figure looks great!

[ScottyP]

Almost definitely not gang-molded given the release of four of the Targetmasters as campaign "microns" recently. I think they learned their lesson on why gang molding isn't smart with the first 10 minicon teams.

The Seller Also has Rollbar from Age of Extinction:

Who sadly was Not a Transformer in AOE.

[SW's SilverHammer]

The Ebay seller also had three of four Knights of Unicron, Prime, Jazz and soundwave to be exact

Would you mind if you provided the link in its appropriate thread? I'm currently working on other stories.

sorry, I thought that that there was a name game going on since the guy above mentioned the A.o.E Rollbar

Mis-transformed or not that is by far the ugliest Transformer I've ever seen. The jet mode looks good and I'm floored the sword has a sheath but, it's just ugly.

[Shuttershock]

Maybe it's just the excellent art and personality of Sarah Stone's drawing style, but it seems like no medium other than the Windblade comic matches up her design with her personality. Every other one, the toy included, gives her a generic, aloof, detached look that doesn't help her character stand out as an earnest if naive civil servant.
