Indeed. What would his weapon be?
Speaking of weapons, anybody know what his Micron's name, "Zamu", actually means? I know the Japanese word for rhino is sai, anything else?
It would probably be a retool of Bulkheads mechtech weapon but with a spinning hammer.njb902 wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:njb902 wrote:it would be a shame not to get this great looking toy state side.

Call me a hysteric, panic monger, or conspiracy theorist, but I can almost taste a 1990 TF crash headed to the states. Japan and Europe continued to get new designs like Overlord, the Brainmasters and Breastforce while the US kept getting lower and lower quality crap and soon after nothing. Hasbro might be in the process of setting up a complete abandonment of the American market "for the foreseeable future" as they would say.
They have through gross incompetence and a complete lack of understanding of the market engineered a second crash of the brand. Just look at all the Bumblebees clogging the pegs.
Just a hunch. I hope to Primus I'm wrong.
