Hasbro China JingDong exclusive Generations JD Red Knight

That's a LOT of red.

Robot mode ... meh ... reminds me too much of Stinger, but DAMN that alt mode! All that red looks really good on it.

Never bought Stinger. Maybe I should because he could be the "little brother"!

I think this would work pretty well as one of the KSI bots

Smart use of the Galvatron mold

For a promotional exclusive figure that's actually quite nice. I like the Galvatron figure anyways and this is a nice retool.

I must admit that looks pretty damn sweet. My favourite colour just happens to be red too!

I legit thought this thing was a bootleg when the leaks started flooding in. To be fair the extreme monotonous colour scheme is not doing it any favours as a lot of that tasty detail gets washed out in all the red, and honestly I like how it looks better than the AOE Galvatron version (the toy that is, I hope we get a good SS Galvatron as I like the movie design a fair bit) but between the probably rarity, the terrible name and the fact he'd need some extra paint to not look ridiculous, I'll pass.

That said I don't hate him, and if I somehow end up owning one I'd be tempted to headcanon him as a man-made TF built by KSI at the behest of the Chinese government. He goes rogue like the other KSI bots but due to his base programming and some bizarre twist of fate, his newly awakened personality is as red as his colour scheme and he becomes the leader of the "DeceptiCommunists", a group of disenfranchised Transformers with a decidedly Soviet outlook on life. Perhaps call him "Red Menace"?
