Biography of HFTD Scout Firetrap

It's a trap!

The second repaint of Revenge of the Fallen Scout Scattorshot is a fellow by the name of Firetrap. Deco'd in green and orange, this little guy looks to be one tough customer. You'll find Firetrap, alongside Sunspot in HFTD Scout Wave 3. Thanks to TFclub over at Taobao, an auction for the figure shows Firetrap's packaging and biography. See it all below!

To say that Firetrap is enthusiatic about specialized ammunition is an understatement. He takes every chance he can to try out unusual shells for his cannons. He's especially happpy whenever he can spring strange munitions on an unsuspecting Decepticon target. It's just bad luck for Sunspot that he happened to be flying over right after Firetrap secured some brand-new anti-aircraft ammo.

Will the real RotF Brawn please stand up...

I wonder if the head from this guy will fit on the deluxe Brawn figure :-?

I knew I should have said "the first to say "Brawn" will get pelted with strawberry marshmellows" O well. *pelts --B-- with strawberry marshmellows*

Wasn't "Fallback" solicited some time ago? Given that's the new name of Outback (Yum, steakhouse), and G1 Outback was G1 Brawn's remold, maybe we'll see a RotF Fallback out of RotF Brawn, hereby solving the double Brawn dilemma?

Brawn would work here, but I also see him as possibly neo-G1 Guzzle.

I think with a new headsculpt I might try to make him into Huffer. He has the recessed head going for him, and if the truck was painted in the right colors the alt mode could work too.

Indeed he could easily pass for a TF version of Man-At-Arms. Good call!

Great, now I want a strawberry milkshake and an order of Aussie Cheese fries!

mmmmmmm Outback (Fun fact, our rehearsal dinner was at Outback, yum!)

On a side note, there are a lot of emoticons that show one thing on the full edit screen and show up in posts different. I clicked the "Thinking/Scratching chin" and got wierd wavy mouth face.

Oddly enough, that's what I have been calling deluxe Brawn.

Gimme a few to look...

Well, --B--, given that the head joint's probably the same as ROTF Scattorshot, I'd say it looks like it MIGHT fot on ROTF Brawn... but I'm not certain. The socket for the balljoint might be a TAD smaller.

No, it's because during the winter, he removes his guns and becomes Mr. Plow!!! :grin:
