Was the KFC condiment packet to show that it was transparent or is it an in-joke that I'm not getting? (Besides finger lickin' good of course)

Ya. I think it was to show the translucency.

Why would they choose to make the blade transparent? That makes no sense.

My local KFC never had toilet paper. I got frustrated and asked why there wasnt any and the staff replied "because its finger licking good"

It's probably transparent in parts because they thought it looks cool.
And I certainly can't disagree.

No, I'm almost certain the sdcc version has no paint apps outside of the black hilt, making the Hong Kong exclusive is far superior
I am not a G1 fan, please treat my opinions as such.

I thought the SDCC one had stickers on its blade.

Its different, the SDCC version doesnt have clear plastic:
Seems we have a conundrum. The TFW is reporting that it is the same. I guess we'll have to wait to see.

No conundrum, TFW is wrong. Hasbro has unveiled all their exclusives in a round up today and you can see the sword is different:
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/2 ... 005912/en/This pic was already shown before but it is reused here in the round up.
Talking of said round-up, it identifies Brainstorm's Titan Master as Teslor.
Which is weird because I'm sure they were able to call his headmaster in his 2013 toy "Arcana", and Teslor sounds nothing like Arcana. It does sound like Tesla tho so I like that

I asked about it here:

I was about to go out and pick a Blaster myself to find out what they did, but Now I don't have to.
Still doesn't make much sense to peg PMOP there like that. But I guess its a usage.
