Man, that box art, along with G2 Grimlock's, is full on poster worthy in my opinion!

I like the purple tires as well

Had this rig belonged to the Joker then the purple wheels would be acceptable but it ain't the Joker's rig. They should have been black or dark gray just like the Toxitron's that came before. Hell this person thought so too...'nuff said!

Damn sorry for double post! :VEHI:

Like I said before, the purple tires were likely the result of gang-molding.

I honestly don't mind the purple tryes, it adds to the deco I feel.

Thanks to a listing on ebay, we have a potential first look at a figure likely intended for the Walmart exclusive Toxitron Collection. This line features characters in decos intended for their original toys, to be released in the G2 line of the 1990s. We can see Mirage here in his unreleased watermelon bubblegum pink and green G2 deco.

This figure appears to use the Kingdom Mirage mold, with alligator logos on the spoiler, and a G2 Autobot logo on the front of the vehicle mode. Whether this is a yet to be revealed figure, or will show up with no announcement or reveal from Hasbro or Walmart (similar to Crasher and G2 Dragstrip) is still to be seen.

Is this figure of any interest to you? Do you want to see even more unreleased decos on modern figures? Let us know your thoughts on this figure and what other G2 decos you might like to see in the comments below!

I want it. :-P

I hope distribution is better with him than toxitron. I contacted hasbro customer service about him today. They are not accepting questions about that figure. Come on! Galaxy shuttle never showed up at retail. Or on the Walmart website. Nor the app. Toxitron never showed up.

In general, I am in favor of these unreleased decos on molds that fit my collection asthetic. It gives us more unique repaint options and allows existing redecos from old molds or Retool a chance at staying power (example being the variety of Seekers we have gotten since Siege or different redecos of the two Mirage molds having more distinctiveness).

This though is just Bugly as heck. This probably should have stayed on the cutting room floor

Toxitron did? I was able to pre-order him. He isn't in stores yet because the product line hasn't been released.

I had Galaxy Shuttle Pre-Ordered. Walmart printed a shipping label, but the tracking never changed from "Pre shipment unfo sent to FedEx" as a FedEx employee I am 99% confidant in saying "we never received that package from Walmart." They printed the label and then never shipped my item. Unfortunately I had other things happening in my life and I didnt follow up on this in time. All I got was a refund and a $25 coupon for a figure that is being scalped at twice at least.

Sadly with the nature of these Exclusives Hasbro is not in control of the distribution. It's 100% on Walmart once the container leaves Hasbro's main warehouse, and I would not be surprised if Hasbro doesn't just ship that stuff straight to Walmart Main Distribution Center from the Port of LA or Vancouver or wherever these come in through, and washes their hands 9f responsibility entirely.

As much as I hate the f1 car mode (but not as much as dragstrip) Really nice but will def need repro labels to give it the Croc look and in the right places. Dunno why they put the detailing on the spoiler.

All I wanted was an answer. They produce it, just point me in the right direction. Plus after not seeing much on any aftermarket websites for a ton of money, it got me thinking. So I guess walmarts to blame. Or Hasbro for not delivering. Who knows. I just had my hopes up for some Walmart exclusives. Heck, I never saw wave 2 of velocitron.

Watermelon Gator looks nice, I am excited for that one too!

I like these smoothie Transformers a lot. Hope to get Toxitron at some point for a not 80 euro's price. It's a fun/good mold already have Scourge (what a beast).

I hope they make more of these eyesore deco's. Hell, repaint a few more into the G1 Euro Exclusive Neon-Robots-Certainly-Not-In-Disguise decos.

All the Titans Return transformers and from there onward are great toys and in my opinion can always be repainted to sillyness
