Ramjet looks super sweet, can't wait to finally get him. I like that the blue turned out more pale. Makes him not looks so patriotic. Think I may like Ramjet even better than Lio Convoy plus I don't own a figure with the Armada mould.

I believe that is the only new-mold accessory that has been created (other than the 2007 Vector Sigma). Otherwise it has been trying to find existing weapons from Hasbro's existing library of tools, like the Targetmasters from Scoop and swords from Optimus ExPrime that were used for TFSS 4.0, the Construct-Bots weapons that were used for Oilmaster, and Arcee's arsenal that was given to Impactor. There are quite a lot of existing tooling for weapons, so that's where Fun Pub has been looking for the most part whenever they've decided to add more character-appropriate accessories.

I'd buy that. Probably not another set of Arcee weapons (already got Arcee, SDCC Arcee, Nightbird, and soon Impactor all with variations of the set). But maybe a set of Generations Roadbuster weapons or some more of the better TFGO! weapons (but without the super soft plastic) since most people outside Japan don't have those. Some of the unusual Microns would be fun as well, I could really go for a second Hades, though maybe with a stiffer handle clip.

I have wanted a Hades to do up as Wingthing for a while, but the last one I saw on Ebay was 40. I can't justify that for something I'm gonna drown in paint

New Galleries: BotCon 2015 Zaptrap with Beet-Chit and Spy-Eye and BotCon 1998 Vice Grip
- Motto: "I've looked into the eye of this island and what I saw was...beautiful"
- Weapon: Double-Barreled, Armor-Piercing Particle Beam Cann...
The Seibertron.com galleries turn the camera lens back to BotCons past with new galleries for BotCon 2015 Zaptrap with Beet-Chit and Spy-Eye and BotCon 1998 Vice Grip.
Zaptrap who is a redeco of Generations Skrapnel is based on the Diaclone Waruder Insecter Robo Kuwagatrer mech which later became G1 Shrapnel while Beet-Chit is a redeco of Generations Chop Shop and is based on the pilot of that mech. Spy-Eye is a redeco of Generations Reflector and its weapon mode is modeled after G1 Shrapnel's grenade launcher. The three made up the attendee-only bonus figure during BotCon 2015.
Going back to BotCon 1998 in the 3H days and continuing the insect theme we present a gallery of Vice Grip who is a blue and gray redeco of Beast Wars Powerpinch. Click on any of the images below to see the full galleries.

Re: New Galleries: BotCon and Collectors' Club Exclusives
Came in the post yesterday (wasn't sure how long it would take in Canada) and I'm absolutely LOVING him. TFCC knocked the deco right out of the park. It's amazing how much different he looks from Slingshot despite being a pure repaint. Even without the extra knight helmet it's just... It's Needlenose. The shiny, metallic paint is great. He's just gorgeous on the shelf.

"Zputty"? Isn't that some kind of 3D rendering program?

Zputty, such a punky name for a Decepticon. It also sounds like a farting joke gone bad. As for Needlenose, he looks nice and I like the mold choice. Awesome figure!

As promised, and as the Transformers Collectors' Club keeps sending out its Subscription Service 4.0 figures, Seibertron.com continues to provide its visual services to the figures - as we did with Needlenose when it shipped, so we do now with the figure that was intended to be retail Ruckus, changed into Combiner Wars Offroad by Hasbro, and now released under the Grabuge name by the Club!

Huh. I know Off-Road was originally designed to be Ruckus before they changed directions, but wow. I didn't do a direct comparison but that head and shin detail is completely Ruckus.
He doesn't look AMAZING but I'm really excited to get this guy, one of my favorite D-list Decepticons

Re: New Galleries: BotCon and Collectors' Club Exclusives
Thanks for the high-res Ruckus photo gallery. Those tacky paint apps really stand out compared to the factory figures, especially all the inaccurate and wavy edges/lines where they meet another color. For a 3x-4x price point, I'll pass. If the paint apps were factory quality, maybe. But even then, the price point is kind of silly.

Re: New Galleries: BotCon and Collectors' Club Exclusives
And just as OffRoad almost ended up being Ruckus, so too did his actual Ruckus repaint.
Who decided to translate his name into French? Slicer?
Ruckus will always hold a special place in my heart for being the only Triggercon (or -bot) that I actually owned in '88. I wonder, was the aborted attempt to make him a Stunticon what led to the whole Thunder Mayhem gestalt team idea? IDR what was said about that back during the reveal.

Re: New Galleries: BotCon and Collectors' Club Exclusives
The "Ruckus" trademark didn't pass legal - another toy company must have it. So to keep him as "Ruckus" as possible, one of the translated names from the original G1 packaging was used. Specifically, his French-Canadian name.
The Mayhem Attack Squad team concept solidified around some very cool ideas in Needlenose, Spinister, and of course Ruckus. Windsweeper was quick in materializing as well.

Ruckus looks great. I can def see how this mould was made for him. Cant wait for the Ramjet gallery. When is he shipping out? Anyone hear anything about it yet? I know I have asked a couple times in the last few weeks but he is much anticipated.
