Was G2 dreadwing not eligible for 1994?

Remembering that G2 packaging and trying to open Silverbolt and onslaught. :-(

And yeah, slingshot took time to crumble. Probably a year or two for me before he started being mostly super glue. I just figured I was playing too rough with it (g1 grimlock had so many broken parts).

My G2 Slingshot I transformed once, combined to make Superion, then when I tried to take it out of the socket it crumblef. I easily had time to get another, but in hindsight, I'm glad I didn't.

I was so focused on Breakdown I got completely lost in conversation and forgot this one--- honestly for a year that seems so forgettable, there were TONS of grand slams this year!

He was, I'm just trying to pick things from my childhood while that still applies. As for the others, well, I sent lists beforehand >:oP

He was a wonder to behold in 1994. Doesn't get a chance to shine much because he easily gets outdone by other G2 toys like megatron and LOP when you bring in other years. I need to get another one sometime because t30 G2 dreadwing does not live up to the namesake.
Hoping there's a two pack with dreadwing and a repainted needlenose in the future.

It's a podcast that I'm assuming you guys aren't even paid for and invest more than 2 hours of your time, it's entertaining and I don't think anyone expects you all to have knowledge of every toy and character. The brand has too many niches after 40 years and too many varied distribution dates.
