With Motormaster's trailer making him pretty much impossible to retool into another character, it seems like a decent option.

After Shadowstrip I really thought we'd see leaks for more of these spread out between different stores (like in Buzzworthy Bumblebee). Or maybe we have and just didn't realize it thanks to the new names.

I always thought that was more likely as a one-off. The odds of a G2 Motormaster have to be very low, and there's limited benefit from doing any others if they're not going to complete Menasor, right?
I don't know if I would call the odds "very low". We got SG Jetfire after all and Hasbro has always had a soft spot for G2 exclusives and Selects (to say nothing of some retail love).

Only one of the Commander class figures has ever received a redeco so far, so even if "very low" is too hostile, the odds were never great. We've already had complaints about the difficulty in assembling a Combiner across mainline releases; I can't imagine the frustration in trying to collect G2 Menasor across retailer-exclusive capsules. Maybe there could be a gift set in the future, but I don't think it's very likely.

I have honestly never understood the love for the eye-bleeding gaudy G2 recolors. Those things are genuinely unpleasant to look at.

Its funny how fans look back and say "how awful", and I look back and just think..."Yep, that was normal" Although as a skater in Highschool, I stuck to normal Blue Jeans & Shorts, only had loud colored T-Shirts.
I know the Cobra H.I.S.S. (along with versions II and III) have been revisited, but I wonder never why the Septic Tank never has

As for that Tow-Line, they kinda phoned that one in didn't they? It looks neat, but it really doesn't look like the Tow-line they want it to be.

Colors and head are plenty, we're not picky... right?

Only thing I'd ask for is a tampograph of the orange and purple stripe going down the side and under the bolted on plates to make it look more like the original gone all Mad Max. They're different types of tow trucks so there's no perfect way of recreating the original, but maybe ToyHax can come up with something interesting.

Probably just the same one as Scourge: "Robots in Disguise 2000 Universe"Jelze Bunnycat wrote:Emerje wrote:Jelze Bunnycat wrote:D-Maximal_Primal wrote:As someone who only recently got into G2, but more specifically the G2 original characters, I have no qualms about a G2 repaint now.

Now there's an idea...
btw, what Universe designation would this Tow-Line get?
