No thanks to paying 3rd party prices for Cybertron alt modes for the Terrorcons. Can Easily get something similar from Hasbro for a fraction of the price. Just seems like a terrible idea TFCC would use.

The Terrorcons and the Technobbots are bitter rivals. Don't need to see the characters swapping sculpts back and forth with the team colors applied.

Don't like calling Cutthroat, by the name Ripper. Think It is Not a good name choice. As it's half the name of Terrorcon Rippersnapper.

Hooray for Shattered Glass Computron! I'm hoping they'll do the same for their SG Devastator too.

They also teased a guy in their fiction called Skidmark, who is SG Long Haul.

i think names for 3P figures is irrelevant. who out there calls their 3P figures hercules, intimidator and quantron? no one. the minute they get in out hands, theyre devastator, menasor and computron like they should be.

it could be called the queens t*ts and it wouldnt sway my opinion of the figure itself. i did buy hard bone and grind rod after all.

anyways... i had cutthroat as a kid, so theres nostalgia value for me. also this guy might be my favorite quantron member anyways. (of coarse i dont know since hes not in hand yet, but y'know, reviews and such)

It's not Cutthroat anyways, it's Shattered Glass Strafe.

right-o. Who cares what it is called. The maker gets to call it whatever it wants. Just because you don't like it does not mean it is bad

i dont see this as shattered glass. shattered glass isnt always the opposite, if it were then SG prime would have been silver/black/red and megatron would have been red/white/blue. so a SG computron wouldnt necessarily just steal his colors from a random decepticon combiner.

i see this as pre-beast (or cybertronian) forms of the terrorcons. to me its totally cutthroat.

In Shattered Glass, Strafe is these colors. He appeared in the TFCC comics.

Still, call him Cybertronian mode Cutthroat, call him Strafe's evil clone, call him whatever floats your boat!

Just a reminder that the pre-orders for this guy have started. Sadly, it's $19.95 International Shipping to the US. :-x

Preordered two of these, the shipping was still $20. I guess it's a flat shipping fee.

The TFCC, they have a Mini-Con named Skidmark.

Probably named after what skidmark actually means, the mark left on the pavement by a tire sliding.

Im sure that was their intention. After all we do have "Skids". But when you throw in the word "mark", the whole automotive meaning goes out the window. Any American with half a sense of humor is going to think of turds. Only auto racing fans can unsee the poopy underwear.

I think I like this better in these colours than Strafe's. BUT since I don't know if Quantron will be released before my next pay cheque or after it, I'm not keen on throwing more money at toys yet.

Yeah, but it is the actual definition of the term...

We also have TF toys named Mudflap, Discharge, Windbreaker... all normal words that some people will snicker at.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying when you drift outside of the auto racing world, the term really generates a large amount of chuckles. Me being an urban guy, I can vouch for this. I once worked in a Laundromat back in the days.

I guess it depends on what generation you are part of, and probably location as well. I believe you.

I preordered one in the hopes that they'll complete the set over time.

SG Devastator too please.
