Thinking I'm liking Universe a bit more.
How about now?
Wait a sec. That cartoon model's a fan-corrected version, right? A Fracas-colored version of the model that was based on Fracas's toy, yes? As opposed to the Nightstick-colored version based on the Fracas toy but which was instead used for Nightstick in both The Rebirth and the Marvel comics:

But how? The cartoon and comics switched their character models, applying each's intended color schemes to the other's model, like what would later happen between Nightbeat's and Siren's heads.Cyberpath wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Wait a sec. That cartoon model's a fan-corrected version, right?
Nope. It's the real deal. Though not named and assigned to Cyclonus.

No, I mean, how do you have a "real" version of the correct model in the right colors when the cartoon and comics both had the models switched but given each other's right colors?Cyberpath wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But how?

Character model-cels went through several revisions before locking the final version, and Rebirth had a plethora of new characters; it's easy for things to get mixed up during production, especially before the age of internet and smart-phones.

Thanks to your unearthing and bringing this character model to my attention, I showed it to some others and now it has hit the Wiki!

Doesn't appear to have been. Though, some speculate that it might have been referenced in Car Robots Artfire having a deco that homaged Stepper even though he used the name "Artfire".fenrir72 wrote:Speaking of Artfire, his "code name" anyways, I read that when he was released together with Stepper, there was speculation that their names might have been switched. Similar to Sunstreaker and Sideswipe and the seeker knuckle heads' specs.
Stepper= ladder steps?
Artfire= See Stepper's "flame" deco on his robo breast. Though this part , "fire" can still be attributed to the Firetruck alt mode just like "Inferno".
Was this issue ever cleared up? In the Japanese medium that is.
