The FoC seeker concept was a thing, yeah? I think that was the ticket for Skyfall, but this would've been satisfying too.TF_JW wrote:As for this one mock-up in particular: Since Action Masters focused on the robot mode - and since that typo in G1 Skyfall's bio gave that "out" by stating that he can turn into anything - Highbrow seemed a pretty good fit. Skyfall has been a character getting mock-ups since at least 2011, and so he gets one more that never will happen...
Well, with the stuff coming through the Generations box sets lately, and knowing that Hasbro skims over posts here sometimes, I'll keep some hope alive. Finishing out a set of Action Master characters that can actually transform would be Rad.TF_JW wrote:Yup. I believe the FoC Seeker Skyfall was for one of the Subscription Services... Before it was replaced with one of the toys that did get produced.
The Skyfall in 2011 was yet another concept, to have been used in the BotCon 2012 set had the concept progressed further.

So this isn't a fabrication or a tease; these are the concepts for what would have been BotCon 2017 figures. In fact some of the figures you'll see were sent to Hasbro to hear their thoughts on the direction to be taken (Did they ever give an answer. Well... :p ) We know fans like to see this sort of thing, so hopefully we can show off as much as we can.

And Overrun or Sprocket or anyone from Highbrow instead, like I said the focus of Action Masters was the robot mode. So Highbrow not having a cockpit or vents or really any vehicle kibble on his chest the way those other characters do, they didn't really feel "right". Despite the alt mode being a helicopter.

Something I'm working on for @Petes_Robo_Con June 23/24. Stay tuned for the full reveal and see me there this summer! (lines by Robby Musso)

If that's the case, why is Kick-Off hogging Mainframe's spot?

Unless he wants to use only existing releases, so as to give fans who have all those toys a visual guide for recreating the scene in real life with them.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:No modern official Mainframe toy to fill in his own spot?JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Yep.

Nothing stopping the artist from making virtual redecos, right?
