New Images of MP25 Tracks, UW Wildrider and Transformers Adventure Figures from Figure King

So glad Takara decided to give us Wildrider in place of the out of scale truck Off-road. I think I'll get this gift-set since the Stunticons were the only other Combiner team I didn't have as a kid. I never had the Technobots either, but I'll pass on them again. Buying characters that debuted after 1984 brings back bad childhood memories of how Transformers got ruined forever.

Don't ever sell yourself short or let anyone tell you otherwise. You work hard and you earned this award.

It seems to me like a Breakdown repaint, not sure if I like him enough... I'll wait until I see a robot mode picture to see if the retooling is cool enough

The Special Teams weren't 1984. If you're going to be so ridiculously contrarian, at least be consistent about it.

I know who debuted when and I also know they were not called "special teams" where I'm from. The Stunticons debuted in November of '85. But who knows when they debuted for you late comers in the "special teams" crowd. Fans like me made Transformers popular, people like you just hopped on the bandwagon!

To clarify what I said earlier....
I meant I don't buy too many characters who didn't appear in G1 season 1. I didn't say the Stunticons debuted in '84. When I do buy toys based on season 2 and 3, they usually wind up in my son's toy box.

Wildrider seems more Breakdown-y than Dead End-y, but I'll wait until we see clearer images. In any case, it might be what the rumored Hasbro version will end up being, similarly to Slingshot.

Freedom to be whatever you want to be is the RIGHT of all Sentient Beings. I would like to take issue with a statement you made about hopping on the bandwagon. Kind of an elitist mindset there this is a bit of a turn off!

Did Primus die and gave you divine powers to declare who should be worthy?

I like this positive thinking!

I agree and it goes with the idea of people making their own combiner. Plus it's good business.

Next year guys, next year
