For anyone confused as to why the front and back halves of the truck are two different colors, it was like that on the G1 toy as well:

[jogunwarrior]

Not so much confused by it, but I don't find the two tone colors at all aesthetically appealing in this case.

[ScottyP]

The arm panels/doors being purple might help. Looking at the pictures, I can't tell if they are or not. Purple in the bot mode picture, tan in the alt mode one.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Pretty nice looking guy. Love the color choices and patterns

[Hellscream9999]

Anyone else reminded of Cannonball with that color palette?

Not really, but now that you mention it the First Aid retooling of that could work pretty well as Cannonball. Or Red Alert (UT Red Alert, not G1).

These molds are just so versatile. Love it.

Naw man, gotta use trailbreaker arm fused with first-aid, so you can plug in the knife claw and hook into the trailbreaker arm

[Deadput]

What is this a picture for ants?




Seriously I can't see slag due to the tiny image.




EDIT: NEVER MIND THE ACTUAL TWEET IS BIGGER SIZED (WHY ARE WE YELLING?)

I think you meant Rook but I still like where your head's at (or my limited messing around with First Aid is showing)

Well it's Rook if you're making Cybertron Red, First Aid if you're making Armada Red.

No, first-aid with trailbreakers 5mm cannon arm into cannonball

[Mindmaster]

I will happily take an Armada Red Alert from First Aid with Trailbreaker's Rook-patented cannon-fist.

MAKE IT HAPPEN, HASBRO/TFCC!

We already had that with BotCon Cannonball last year. Your argument is invalid.

There is ALWAYS a dread pirate Cannonball in these waters.

Well, I never got the botcon one, I was weary of the possible gps (and the high price). So I really want one to update the cybertron one; but in the end, if it came out through this, I wouldn't get it anyway

Controversial opinion, Cybertron Cannonball, better in just about every way to the botcon one.

I kinda get that, botcon's looks much more refined, engineering wise, but the cybertron one feels like what cannonball aspired to be, i.e. multiple attachment options for his hand, and much better/bigger art.

I think this is a strong case where hasbro just makes up a character (i.e. addressing the now lack of originality), just pulls him outta their a$$, and he ends up being memorable and amazing, however the strong G1 first mentality of a chunk of the fan base is over-riding the possibility of having a line take place that is autobots vs. the starseekers. They could even redesign thundertron from skylynx and have him combine with his crew

[Seibertron]

Also: "Impactor risks life and his remaining limbs"... Wrecker combiner in the works/confirmed?

I'm assuming this is referring to his missing hand that is now a harpoon accessory.

I agree with this. We already had a deluxe Cannonball so doing a new deluxe Cannonball wasn't really something I wanted. Now, had the Arms Micron Breakdown mold been used for a more badass Cannonball, that I would've gotten behind 100%. Would the Silas Breakdown head have worked for Cannonball? Seems like it might if I recall what the head looked like.

Also curious if we're going to get Armada Red Alert out of the BotCon 2014 Cannonball remold? That I might be interested in. Plus Universe 2009 Hot Shot could use an Autobot friend!

I like how they just painted over the hand. makes it look like he's wearing a purple glove and an orange one covered in rhinestones.

Don't talk like that. You'll get my hopes up.
