Million Pubishing has revealed their exclusive Stepper figure. This figure looks to be exclusive with the upcoming Transformers Generations 2011 book set for release April 27. This figure is a repaint of Reveal The Shield/ United Jazz just as Takara exclusive G1 Targetmaster Stepper released in the Headmasters line was a repaint of G1 Jazz. He was known as Ricochet in the U.S. released in the Commemerative Reissue Series. He is seen here holding a repaint of Nightstick.

No further details such as price and availability have been announced but this might be the first of these exclusives I will buy.

That is pretty freakin sweet.

I can't help but think that Hasbro will put this out eventually, but I may be picking this up as well, depending on price.

I really hope I can get my hands on one of these! I had been hoping somebody would make Ricochet/Stepper! Still, my only quarrel with this figure is that they left his visor blue.

The head's expression suits Stepper alot better than it does Jazz , though I sorta wish it was the other way around. :-?

Definitely gonna be getting this. Hmmm, I'm kinda surprised that Stepper is gonna be and exclusive.

News Credits: 1 · by **rpetras** » Wed Apr 20, 2011 6:43 am

I pretty much assumed Stepper would show up, as he is one of the 2 obvious Jazz repaints.

I'm a bit surprised he'll be an exclusive though. :BANG_HEAD:

@xiaojeilui

Quit it man! 12 posts already and you still continue with that same schtck. Do it somewhere like 1up.

Now back to the fig, smart money is either they'll use the TFC "Nebulon" or Cyclonus' "Nightstick".

Though I wish (which won't)the original Jazz had a more "cheerful" expression while Stepper with the bad @ss one to distinguish one from the other.

I am very tempted to order the Million Publishing Transformers Generations book to get my hands on this. Stepper looks superb.
There should be more black and gold Transformers because it looks really cool. Black Zarak, Stepper, can't think of any more off the top of my head.

You know, I looked but you must have posted right after I started writing my news post. Sorry about that.

I want that!! How do I get my hands on it?

This is straight-up excellent. Million Publishing is pretty cool. Now, just need a preorder.

News Credits: 12 · by **GuyIncognito** » Wed Apr 20, 2011 7:53 am

That's a sweet repaint and a well-done homage. It's too bad they couldn't include an homage to the Targetmaster aspect of the original by including something like Nightstick to clip onto the spoiler.

F**K YES. THIS. THIS ON SO MANY LEVELS.
This has got to be the single greatest idea I've heard of in a while. I do hope that Hasbro decides to do a "Ricochet" over here some day, since there's no way I've got the cash to spare for this, despite how freakin' epic it is.

The figure is OK. Im more interested in characters represented in the G1 cartoon than those that came out after 1988 when Transformers was on life support. However, he would fit in great with my small G2 collection. Does he come with the same book talked about last week ??? Or will this book only be available in Japanses ???

Who is the other? Dead End?

I'm on this. All of Million's stuff has been top-tier so far.

Either it's G2 Jazz, or SG Ricochet who has a color scheme based on G1 Artfire. Speaking of Artfire, where is he? I want them both as Classics!

That's Gold Baby!

Yessssss!

Now give me my 'golden lagoon' version too..., but Stepper was the one I was waiting to hear announced. Still waiting to hear about an Artire repaint. Thought they might be a cool set for someone like HASBRO to sell to a store as a retailer exclusive.

Very cool. I dig it! However, I will probably never own it, alas....

I was thinking G2 Jazz.
I would not expect SG Ricochet to be anything other than a con exclusive.

You sure about Artfire? G1 Artfire was a white/red Inferno repaint. G2 Artfire was kinda close, but more like Cybertron Hotshot/Excellion I think.
