Going to have to disagree with you re: barrel count, colors, and individual molded detail on Firedrive and Blowpipe. And re: Barrel count and colors on Aimless.Wolfman Jake wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:What did you expect?

New arms and legs for Firedrive for starters. They did that with Aimless.
My expectations for most of the "humanoid" Battle Masters is already pretty low, honestly. They couldn't even get the colors of Firebolt, Blowpipe, Aimless, and Caliburst right, let alone individual molded detail or even the correct number of gun barrels. The fact that "Shrute" and Singe actually are pretty much the right colors is pretty fantastic.
There are some deviations in detail, admittedly, as a result of Hasbro copying the Legends versions instead of referencing the original figures directly (yeah, I said it again; sue me):
This copying of the Legends versions is also why some of the detail on Aimless' new-mold parts is wonky. But he does at least have the right colors and number of barrels, if I'm any judge
Were you perhaps thinking of the bungled Fracas (According to the boxback, he was supposed to at least have the gray and black switched, but they blew it!) that comes with Skywarp when you talked about wrong colors, details, and barrel count? I agree with you that "Caliburst" is completely wrong. He is not really Caliburst at all, he is G2 Blowpipe. I can only assume he was spawned by some fool operating under the delusion that it was a good idea to use "The TrainwreckRebirth" as a reference.
