G2 Ramjet actually looks pretty decent, I'm giving him serious thought despite not being a member (of course it's the Seeker fan in me speaking). Bring on Action Master Thundercracker!

btw, Yes those are stickers, people. An excerpt:

I just hope the joints are tight and the mold is solid. The Ramjet I got in classics 1.0 could barely stand.

eh, Im fine with the hasbro classics Ramjet on my shelf right now. It might look good with the G2 Botcon 2010 set but I dont have that either. I would get the animated Cheetor before I buy this anyway.

I think this depending on your luck, even Takara Tomy also have a same problem on loose joints. I have some TT Henkei toy like that in a new packing and even MP Grimlock are affected. That is sad.... :-(

I'm using super glue to tighten up all my joints and it works like a charm. Hopefully all your issues are ball jointed or hinged with enough access to get some glue in the joint. I just added some glue to my classics Hound at the hip ball joints, as well as the crotch plate hinge; now I can squeeze the chest upper torso down tight to the frame, and slam the crotch plate up against the bottom of the chest and it sits securely.

I hope the stickers come on sheet and not already pre- applied. I dont hate the stickers but it would be good if we at least had the option of seeing the fig without them first.

Either way I'm still going to pick this up.

According to the post on the TFCC homepage they will come affixed.

In addition to that, each Ramjet will come with actual stickers affixed to the shoulder and feet sections.

they look like stickers , but could it be possible that this is not the final colouring?

Those are stickers and this is a final sample so it is the final coloring.

I'm ok with the stickers. I really like the colors on the wings. I'm just generally excited about this. I even picked up a loose G2 Ramjet to join him!

Was it Takara's idea, or Hasbro's request? I know it came as a surprise to FunPub...

What? Is Fun Pub afraid that we're going to chuck our G2 Ramjets at Hasbro reps during Botcon for screwing up Windcharger's distribution and for copping out on Rumble?

Well played, Fun Pub. Well played.

How many 8 year old kids are even getting these $60 deluxe figures? Seems a little unnecessary to take extra safety percautions on these.

I don't recall or have them at near ATM, do Thrust or Dirge have rubber nosecones?

That's what I thought...so make the one figure of the bunch very few kids will actually get a hold of extra "safe". :BANG_HEAD:

I checked the TFCC Twitter, and it says they did it to match the original G2 Ramjet nosecone. So there you go.

Dun dun dun dun DUN, SPIN SPIN. Spin the black circle.

Topman must be working for TFCC to get all that spin going. Looks like I'm going to need my megabuster.

I'd take a picture of my Ramjet to prove that these things don't need rubber tips to meet safety regulations, but I'm afraid I'll poke my eye out trying to transform it.

I'm taking all my seekers and putting them under lock and key for my own safety. Who knew they were that dangerous.

Ramjet's new motto should be, "Safety first!" or maybe "Watch your head sir."
