"Snarl" is actually a possibility, as Animated Snarl has been redecoed into Slug for the line.

It is an amazing mold and if that "Snarl" is in a nice new colour scheme I will buy it in a heartbeat. I am dreaming of it done up in brown and tan, akin to Wolverine's coolest costume.

Fair warning though, as you can maybe see with the link, that deco (like Gregevor) is only available in a two pack.

Probably to save money, they'll release a figure with a normal color scheme (Grimlock, then one with a different one (Gregevor). SO figure this'll have Strongarm with either a Cybertron Snarl or G1 Weirdwolf repainted Steeljaw.

I believe and I could be wrong about this, but I think those are fake stickers over the real ones to keep people from scanning the figures in the package without purchasing them.

You know,Takara always has to mess up and turn them into First Go! Hunter Ratchet,now Strongarm?Takara,why is this happening?

Seriously, this line looks like crap. GG

Fellow Transformers and Seibetron.com fan Matt Daniele, contacting us from Japan, has recently acquired a Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure TAV07 Roadblock, the G1-Constructicon-esque green and purple deco (in fact a G2 callback to its predecessor) of the Generations Deluxe Scoop figure, and has shared images with us all. Check them out below!

Erh... Even if the targetmaster is better painted than Scoop's Nerf Guns,I find that deco pretty boring and an easy pass. Also, only ONE tragetmaster.

The only reason to get that one is if you missed out on Scoop and you prefer a Constructicon reject. Seriously, Roadblock year the colors but he never made it into the team. He keep wearing the Constructicon's colors, hoping to be part of the legendary team. He's the ultimate and somewhat pathetic fanboy. His targetmaster is actually his therapist, trying to make him give up on his impossible dream and go back to being a normal, well ajusted 'con trooper.

What was wrong with his colors? It's almost identical to his G1 self.



This would have been better homage if they did the G2 colors, given him a double missile launcher. Save the Targetmaster for another exclusive.

While accurate, the toy looks tacky and eye-gougingly bright. I think the mold is cool, but I passed over it multiple times in store because I don't really like how bright it is.
