A while back I started putting together a Mayhem Attack Squad so the Wreckers would have someone to beat up Due to the fact that I have very little connection with these guys I wanted to repurpose as many figures as possible to build this set.

With two of the deluxe Insecticons in the group I wanted to add Barrage and Ransack to boost their numbers a little. I've got a core group that I think works well, with others I'm unsure about or still looking for. All minicons mentioned are the Master Shooter Targetmasters that are sitting in my PoL waiting to be re-purposed.


Carnivac - BW Wolfang [Deluxe]
Snarler - BW Razorbeast [Scout]
Bludgeon - HftD Banzaitron [Voyager]
Stranglehold - Amada TM Rhinox [Deluxe]
Barrage - BW Ram Horn [Deluxe]
Chop Shop - TM2 Scarem [Scout]
Venom - BW Cicadacon [Deluxe]
Ruckus - HftD Crankstart [Scout]


These I'm still unsure about. Thunderwing is in my PoL atm and I have the rest.
Needlenose - Generations Thunderwing/PRiD Dreadwing with 2x Minicons [Deluxe]/[Voyager]
Spinister - PCC Windburn with 2x Minicons [Scout]
Ransack - HftD Insecticon [Scout]


Still looking for these. The hinted at MMC Saber Tooth Tiger might be an option for Catilla, and anything with a Crab, Squid or Octopus alt mode could work for Octopunch (I have BW Razorclaw, but would prefer a Squid or Octopus).
Catilla -
Octopunch -
Battletrap -
Flywheels -


Any suggestions? Any additional characters you feel should be added? Post your lists and ideas, but please try to avoid those rare exclusives so availability won't be an issue.

For squids, there is always Claw Jaw.

For squids, there is always Claw Jaw.

He was supposed to be part of a lot of beast era figures I bought from TFSource, but they had a stock issue so I never got him Since then I've been focusing on My Neo-Classics set, might have to track him down at some point.

PCC Undertow has a very Octopunch-y gestalt mode head. It's possible to do an arm swap and make a decent normal robot mode that makes use of it too. Claw Jaw would be another recommendation. He's a great little figure although not very evil looking.

The Duocons are hampered by a lack of triple-changers. Maybe we'll get repaints of Springer and Blitzwing?

edit: maybe a BM Cheetor for Catilla? Did they make the night slash version in normal colours?

[Arctorro]

I'm collecting PCC, so should have Undertow eventually.

I thought about Springer and Blitzwing, their alt modes make them really good options, but there are some KO's that could almost work. Helicopter and jet, now if there was a set with a tank and armoured car that were interchangeable with them all you'd have to do is ignore the individual alts modes

BM Cheetor is a good idea, going to look for one.

Anyone else building a Squad atm?

Anyone else building a Squad atm?

I've built a Squad. I'm not sure if it's at it's final roster yet, but it's pretty cool(in my mind at least).

I've designed it so that there's a small group of fast warriors whose job it is to harass enemies until the bulk of the force shows up to clobber them with overwhelming force.

Currently I have:
Carnivac: Overall Team Leader, using Cybertron Snarl
Road Pig (G2)
Spinister
Ruckus: using Cybertron Dirt Boss
Chop Shop, Barrage and Ransack: thank you Fansproject
Bludgeon: Second in Command, leader of the Armoured Corps
Hailstorm
Body Check: using TF Generations Brawl (Asia/TRU Exclusive)
Trebuchet: using United: EX Tankmaster
and Octopunch

I may find another air-warrior. Spinister would be a lone target up there by himself.

Nice line-up
