So that leaves me with Hot Spot's two (awesome) rifles. Any sane person would either put them somewhere on Defensor for spare weaponry or storage, or give them to another 'bot for weapons.

I hope Hasbro will release the three main Autobot Targetmasters along with the three Decepticon ones. I really love Targetmasters.

That seems to be the intent - Triggerhappy's obviously gonna become Misfire and maybe Slugslinger, and I can't imagine they wouldn't release the Autobot ones too. Especially when they oh so love releasing more bots than cons...

Plus, I'd buy them all

YES! Me too! It gives me an excuse to design more targetmaster weapons!

I have my hardhead holding them because I thought it looked awesome

What about Combiner Wars Megatron's extra guns?

I can't say I care too much about the Autobot Targetmasters, but the Decepticon Targetmasters were amazing imo - like 1987's line of Seekers. Three of them, they turn into jets, they're in the same exclusive group... kinda part of why I want all of them to share the same mold, weird as that sounds. Solidifies that idea for me.
Same goes for the 1988 Targetmasters - love the Decepticon ones, can't say I care much for the Autobot ones. The 1988 Decepticon Targetmasters even sort of feel like mini Combaticons for me with their alt-modes which is an idea that works so much better now with Blast Off finally turning into a jet as he always should have

I really hope the three Decepticon Targetmasters are the same base design as well. All of them fit that design so well. The Autobot Targetmasters I mostly like though because of their designs, but I obviously still want them. Autobots seem to always be more bland in character though, and less unique.

A while back I kind of wished that if they made Crosshairs, they used the mold and (somewhat heavily) retooled it into Armada Blurr.





Not the most clear-cut resemblance, I know; but the shoulders being angled and making up the car front suggests a similar silhouette to me, and I honestly think Armada Blurr in both modes is kind of what Pointblank would look like were he to get a modern-day earth mode CHUG update like Generations (2011) Scourge and Kup.
Of course, since they're going for straight G1 remakes now instead of revamps and updates...

It's awesome that they're also releasing movie characters in the same line also as Targetmasters and Headmasters since they all were in the same fiction at different points.

Also, since Blurr technically is a targetmaster, I could try making a partner for him also. Maybe even a Nightstick for CW Cyclonus.

Always mix the Autobot Targetmasters' names up. You can tell how much I care about them

Also remember Kup, Hot Rod and Scourge were Targetmasters as well.
And that thing about the Targetmasters connecting to the wrists in Headmasters? Hot Rod, Kup, Scourge, Cyclonus and Blurr weren't targetmasters in Japan so they never had that, so if you were worrying about doing that it's not as important for them. And yes, even though most other Targetmasters got the wrist thing and he didn't, Cyclonus' Universe toy still did the wrist thing...

Because he's BATMAN!... Oh wait, he's Cyclonus. I mix them up.

Funnily enough, Pointblank's really the only one I care for and that's mostly thanks to the leadership role he had in The Headmasters cartoon. But because it was that version, I find myself more often than not prone to referring to him by his Japanese name Blanker.

He also one-shot Predaking, didn't he?

Am I the only one that thinks a lot of the Titan-masters names and their partner's names should've been switched? Sometimes the partners have gun-related names, and the Titan-masters have others. Specifically Pointblank with Peacemaker, Crosshairs with Pinpointer, and Sureshot with Spoilsport.

The main bot having gun-related names could be taken as reinforcement of their marksmanship At least you were able to memorize them, I can't. Worse, I can never remember which gun goes to who

I didn't memorize ALL of them. I had to look up which one Pinpointer went to, and I couldn't remember Spoilsport.

Strange I have little trouble remembering most Micromaster names or Headmasters - but I do sometimes have a mental block on Targetmasters but less so the double Targetmasters -oddly.

The other on I often forget is the Buggy Powermaster.

Anyway here is another one of John's Videos :



Also a Chuck one :

Thanks RaR, but that video was already posted and newsed earlier. And we already have sharkticon reviews from a while back. Lets try not to clutter the discussion with video reviews, they have their own section on the site. Unless the idea is that you are using them to describe something and use them as an example.

Don't let that discourage you, there was no possible way of you knowing the intricacies of the site and how it works. And none of us were journalists before, we just have fun. If ever you want to join in on the fun of the news crew (looks like you got the chops), let Dr Va'al know. We are always looking for new recruits

PS: Its a really easy way to get a ton of news credits too, if that matters in any way.

Well, my Wolfwire just randomly broke...

I gave them to CW Ironhide since he desperately needed them. And the Targetmaster is looking really nice btw.

What part?And let Hasbro know, they will send you another figure (eventually).
