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.

In an attempt to better resemble the chest design of G1 Rewind rather than those of G1 Rumble/Frenzy, probably:



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.

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.

Honestly, at this point, I expecting either the commonly-speculated Eject or the enigmatic Solarbot.
