The red Micron is still called Pinpointer on TakaraTomy's Promo page

The stickers are awful. The micron does not compensate.

Absolutely right. It has never been called Slugslinger. I got reprolabels in the mail today for my G1 Slugslinger and just had it on the brain. Thanks for the heads up.

Any time

The more I look at Pinpointer, the more I want him, despite there being no Classics Crosshairs. I have the same problem with Spoilsport without a Classics Sureshot, but I could repurpose him as Barrelroller for WFC Optimus Prime, as he's an inverted Recoil for Kup, and Kup was used for Orion Pax ^^

I don't understand the paint issues with Takara. If they could make the color on the ports all one color for CJ why the hell couldn't they do the same for Ratchet? Yeah if your a pro and you do your own paint mods that's all good but I'm not. C'mon Takara this laziness crap is BS!!

The stickers (or lack of paint) and the Micron ports are really hurting these figures which are already inferior to the First Editions. I just don't get it.

Arcee and Vehicon are the only exceptions to this, with their RID toys being improvements over their FE toys.

I can't speak for the Vehicon, as I don't have a deluxe version (i do have a nice troop of cyberverse Vehicons for background minions!). But the Arcee is a split decision. My opinion is they are about even. I like RID Arcee because she is little smaller, better head, cleaner arms and I dig her rifle, but the FE seems more complex, higher quality (at least with the ones I got) and doesn't have the wings.

CJ looks pretty horrible. Those stickers were a bad idea.

That micron with Roddy looks pretty sweet though, and those are some of the best pictures of that particular Rodimus deco I've seen so far. Not bad at all!

Yea, it's going to hurt getting those. I didn't think I would care, what with the FP Firebolt and Blesser, but I do. I care. They look killer.

Those minicons are amazing

Not to me. That's the magic of repurposing

True. Thank goodness for repurposing.

Both for those who like to stick to the official placements of figures' continuities, it's irksome.
