I think there is way too much focus and debate around all the various timelines and their nexus numbers.

The club has to use their own proverbial sandbox. I get it. >:oP

*Focuses on the figures, their bios, their stories*

That's a good way to put it. I feel the same way about Nacelle. Use the encore G1 seeker mold and make it look like that catalog image, and that's a freakin' huge win. As it is, it feels like a weird addition to a Classics shelf when there was never any original version of it to begin with.
The way the Club seems to be approaching this toy is as its own character separate from Windbreaker rather than as a new version of Windbreaker. So it can go on a Classics shelf as Block Town Carzap rather than as G2 Windbreaker.

Alternatively, with the Club's products being so fiction-oriented, this is technically meant to be a Wings Universe toy rather than a Classics toy, as the Classicsverse and the Wingsverse are separate places, but I think the first point I made might be more compelling/appealing than this one.

I'm just excited to have a very differently decoed version of a mold I've grown to like. That's all the reason I need.

I changed my Stylor's arms and legs around fairly easy. I just took small hemostats and used them to open up the red C-clip parts while pulling ever so slightly and they came right out no problem.

did you twist/angle or anything special... or just pull straight out of the C-clip?

When I pulled the C-clip apart some while pulling they shot out kinda fast not much twisting if any, they popped out before I knew what happened. Nothing special like heating or anything so I may have just gotten lucky.

And he can totally double as the first Deathcobra figure! He can join Liozack from the Wings Of Honor Botcon exclusives!

Real quick aside, I adore everything about the senator Rattobatto figure, I think it is the single best use of the neo-classics scourge mold. One of my favorite takara figures this side of Telemocha Waspy.

I still think Armada Cyclonus with a new head as Deathcobra would work best because he had a transforming chest gimmick.

i dont really care about gijoe, but who cares? serpentor looks amazing! its a very suitable mold, and those colors really pop. im all in for this years TFCC.

While I think the snake face on his torso is cool, I don't really care much for this character. G.I. Joe never interested me. I'm still waffling on getting the subscription service for the 2, maybe 3 characters I want, and selling the rest.

The one I want the most from this subscription service! Serpentor Prime! The Son of Megatron! One of the most competent Decepticons leaders ever created and originating from one of the greatest TF crossover stories ever written! It will be mine! THIS, I COMMAND!

Hiboman wrote:And he can totally double as the first Deathcobra figure!

Maybe as Shattered Glass Deathcobra, but certainly not the one from Victory, since this figure's got way more gold than Deathcobra had, who was primarily green with only a little gold:

Whereas SG Deathcobra's deco was an intentional Serpentor homage:

You have been reading my mind.
