mm what's with the chrome dome? has a cylon feel. These figures are pretty cool though perhaps i feel they could do better if they really wanted to better the targetmasters from scratch... e.g. classics ravage that was paired with hound

Neck articulation, neat!
And a hidden Mickey?

Not a fan of the color scheme (of all three of them), though.

Well, I know to make "Haywire" into a true targetmaster you have to fiddle with him, since his existing pegs don't fit into Blurr's hand right. "Fracas" from what I've seen needs no work as he looks to fit just fine, but what about "Recoil", does he even have a peg on him because all I've seen is a minicon port.

If you look very closely at the pictures, you can see it poking out from his back, directly opposite from his minicon port. It's actually a nice bit of engineering that both weapon forms are mirrored.

So if these targetmasters are repaints of existing PCC Mini-Cons, what Mini-Con is this guy a repaint of? Cause I friggin want one!

He's a repaint of Airlift that comes with PCC Skyhammer. Not sure he's out yet but the thing is, his original color is orange, my plan it to take Chainclaw, who they used to make Fracas and use him for Kup, since their coloring is identical. Then I will use Razorbeam who is a rapaint of Chopster as a new Fracas since he is a very dark blue which will go well with Scourge.

They're pretty cool, but they're price is not cool. Of the 3 Recoil is my least fav of all simply cause of his alt. mode. I don't think its not all that impressive unlike the other 2. I do like all their colors of silver/chrome and black and Recoil's head sculpt is cool too. I do wonder how soon we might see these sold separately on ebay?

more economical to get the matching pcc minicon, and pesonally i prefer my target masters to have matching color schemes to thier partners anyway. anyway my chainclaw and razorbeam are ready to take thier roles as recoil and fracus as soon as kup and scourge are added to my collection, which knowimg my local toy stores wont be til febuary
