And set in a fictional universe to sell toys to an overwhelming market share of adolescent boys, granted this subject was introduced in a comic read mostly by nostalgic adults. Subject matter aside the whole thing seems like a writers attempt at making a contemporary political statement as opposed to a moral plot point of right versus wrong (good vs. evil, autobots vs. decepticons).
Here I thought romances and relationships were to give theses characters, you know, character

Don't overanalyze, it was intended as a poke at Mike, Jon, and the guys regarding the beating of a dead horse in the recent podcast. No political statement here, just S&G's. Emphasis on the "S".
Ejects head sculpt? Cool, like the camera/scanner mount. Won't be picking up this mold on the secondary market...don't like the alt mode.

I merged the new topic with an existing topic and updated the title of the news story to reflect that this is a TFSS 2.0 figure from the Club.
Yeah, it's a little bit better in being different from Frumbly, but not really more accurate since there was no way to get any new diagonal details on it. Not saying FunPub didn't do their best here, just that it'd be interesting to see Reprolabels take a crack at it.Sabrblade wrote:In an attempt to better resemble the chest design of G1 Rewind rather than those of G1 Rumble/Frenzy, probably:Seibertron wrote:It looks good except for the black plastic and gold paint being inverted on his chest.

They can't remold more than one part on the figure, so with head being new, they couldn't remold the chest and so had to make do with it this way.
For me, the Club making this be an alternate universe version of the IDW G1 character, instead of the main universe version of IDW G1 character, helps to get around the discrepencies between the comic design and the toy design.Bumblevivisector wrote:Yeah, it's a little bit better in being different from Frumbly, but not really more accurate since there was no way to get any new diagonal details on it.

Honestly, at this point, I expecting either the commonly-speculated Eject or the enigmatic Solarbot.Bumblevivisector wrote:So, we still taking bets on who the mystery repaint of this will be? I'm guessing Rosanna, since the camera could also be interpreted as a head-mic, and if you count SG Ravage as repurposable into Glit, she's the only one of the Kiss Players cassette trio who hasn't yet gotten any sort of second toy.

Oh, Rewind can put them to one appropriate use:Naked Magnus wrote:I think the pile driver gimmick on the mold works very well, but it is not a good fit for Blaster's little dudes.
