I wish they would've used a new mold Targetmaster or at least used the mold with a single barrel. As it is, I think the head can peg into the wrist so Artfire can hold Nightstick in the proper Japanese style.

Personally speaking, I am glad that I did cancel my preorder for this. 
The hollowed out areas was a big factor, sure, but so was the fact they changed Nightstick's alt-mode. As well as not add any decals on Artfire's alt-mode, which would have been fine if they decided to not have him be a Japanese firetruck.
In the end I will hope that a lot of fans here will enjoy this mold. All I can do now is just hope that HasTak will up their game with Legacy for characters like Artfire.

I'm on break. PM me when there is official news involving a TakaraTomy update on Super Convoy. Or if you have news on the upcoming Transformers RPG.

Still super excited for this. Personally (and I know this sounds stupid), I find Inferno to be TOO red. He's kinda boring. By adding the white, and even using dark grey for the head etc., Artfire just looks more interesting.
Also, I was already using Firedrive with Ricochet, so using him again with Artfire is perfect. A simple arm-swap, maybe a little silver paint for uniformity, and my targetmaster team will be ready to go!

A Stepper/Ricochet repaint of SS86 Jazz seems like a slam dunk. But would Hasbro do another release of such an obscure character since the first one based on PotP was just 2 years ago? Normally I wouldn't be interested, but I am getting Artfire. If Stepper came with his proper Targetmaster, I could definitely see myself getting it.

Aiming more towards United myself, but I wouldn't mind a SS86 redeco. Shame Jazz has some rotten luck with his translucent car shells as of late...

Glad I have this one preordered... He'll be my first Selects figure.
I'll consider putting a few different stickers on him, but definitely not all. I personally think seeing them all on is overwhelming, and yet underwhelming at the same time.

Yes, it's a bit irksome that either the bot mode is too big, or the vehicle mode is too small...
Regardless, apart from the low clearance of the wheels, it's a nice mold, IMO.

Is there a fan/officially repurposed new babe for these? Perhaps there's an official distinction between "Bluestreak" and "Silverstreak"?

This new reveal is closer to the comic version than the previous release which adheres to the cartoon deco.

Marvel US always did that, using blue to represent black. Skywarp was blue. Trailbreaker was blue. Ravage was blue. Grimlock's black parts were blue. Rumble and Frenzy were both blue.
