Quickslinger looks really cool docked on Fractyl.

Quickslinger is pretty. Never going to transform her all the way to gun mode for fear of chipping the beautiful black paint.

It's not like Lifeline can hold her anyway. I do love these figures though, they all turned out beautifully. Lifeline seems to get her color placement from Takara's Arcee, with that nice green taking the place of the pink. If I wasn't planning to review her, I doubt I'd ever remove the weapons from their baggies.
Fractyl and Scorponok are both well painted, and I am happy to have a good look at that Terrorsaur head. I guess the deluxe plus legends two-pack thing was what put them up to the level of the Voyager/Double-Pretenders I was expecting to see this shipment.
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if both Double-Pretenders were saved for the last shipment, with Toxitron and Counterpunch being the next two coming.

I've been leaving later and later for work, this week, in hopes to bring my shipment with me. FINALLY it is here today! 
I don't have Terrorsaur (yet) so it's nice to actually see the headsculpt! I love it. Though, the crest gets in the way at a few of the ratchet points. :/
Scorponok is a little odd, to me.
I like Lifeline way more than expected considering I was underwhelmed with Arcee.
Quickslinger can't be held be Lifeline. I mean. They cover that in the bio... It just makes me a little itchy.

Got mine today. Fractyl's colors are even more gorgeous in person. Someone fom the Botcon '97 staff deserves a cookie.
Interesting thing, Scorponok has an alternate bio/tech specs in his instructions. Wonder why they did that.
I have Scorponok holding her. Their colors almost match and he had a free hand, so I figured why not.

And in that second bio, it retcons Scorponok and Double Punch as being brothers, which is interesting since Double Punch was originally a Decepticon back in G1 but who later got a Beast Wars Predacon toy of himself in 1998, while Scorponok was always presented purely as a BW Predacon. So I guess that means Scorponok is the "younger brother" (by a few hundred years give or take).

The main carded bio reflects the Uprising version of Scorponok while the second secret bio in the instructions is more reflective of the cartoon Scorponok.Zeedust wrote:Interesting thing, Scorponok has an alternate bio/tech specs in his instructions. Wonder why they did that.

Was super waiting for Paradon Medic, aka Lifeline. The pink highlights made me think she was the one that healed cyclonus and she absorded some of his energy, and now shes a battle medic.
Paint details on Skorponok are sick, and show of that massive artillery. Makes Scamper look weak. But also makes me want a
metrotitan.
I dont know jack squat about quickslinger, but kind of makes me think of when all the micromasters became good, so its just a reformed stormcloud to me. (Is it a micromaster homage, id like to know.)
Fractyl, all that glorious paint. Due to the sheer amount of paint and obscurity, maybe my favorite. The paint gives him some heft, and although just a repaint, i knda like him more then terrorsaur. (But its a super close race). And that gold paint though, and the brilliant way they did the head. I cant think of him as pure predacon, but more a confused , super smart, bumbling antihero.
Super good four pack overall

She's a homage to a redeco of Cybertron Ransack that only existed as a custom-painted figure and who only got a cameo in one comic, but at least did get a magazine bio.Poyguimogul wrote:I dont know jack squat about quickslinger, but kind of makes me think of when all the micromasters became good, so its just a reformed stormcloud to me.

I'm actually a bit surprised that lifeline *can't* hold quickslinger, given a 5mm compatible hand tooling exists. I'm also a bit disappointed that her hands are pink paint on green rather than having pink arms with green paint on the wrists (DAMN YOU SPRUE MANDATED PLASTIC COLOR SHARING), as it makes filing down the (stupid) hand blocks more problematic :/. wish they had used the original hand toolings, but I'll assume that they modified the whole mold when they made the running change. all said, when they decided to give her a targetmaster as a partner they should have committed to the titan hunters tooling as well.
ANYWAY, that gripe aside (and I'd kinda like to know funpub's reasoning on that because now I'm curious how the decision went down), I love these figures. My principal complaint is that the weapons were packed so Fractyl's combiner hand was under Quickslinger's bio card and now I have a damaged bio card out the box. Joints are tight to the point I had to loosen lifeline's hips to get her to transform, paint jobs are premium (lifeline excluded, but she's the paradron medic, she has exactly the paint she needs. I'm happy with her. Much happier with Fractyl and skorponok though, who both look gorgeous, and Quickslinger, who would be a perfect partner for scorponok... if he could hold her straight without falling on his face. (curse you weight ratios and centers of gravity)

when did she get a 5mm hand? The SDCC Set? The only mainline hands we have gotten is the open set, and the modified version with the added pladtic closing the s. Since Lifeline got her weapons surgical tools, my guess is that overrode the alternative for the 5mm handset. And then since this is a *collector* set, FunPub chose the more accurate looking but more fragile open hand rather than the more practical but distinctly not hand looking square claw.durroth wrote:I'm actually a bit surprised that lifeline *can't* hold quickslinger, given a 5mm compatible hand tooling exists.

I don't think they "chose" the open hands over the closed hands, but rather got stuck with the open hands since that was most likely the version available to use, what with the open hands being the running change made after the first release version with the closed hands came out. If anyone's to blame, it's whoever felt this running change was necessary since I think we can all agree that the closed hands of the mold's first run are the better hands.Flashwave wrote:And then since this is a *collector* set, FunPub chose the more accurate looking but more fragile open hand rather than the more practical but distinctly not hand looking square claw.

Anyone else notice that the boxes had their seals broken and then resealed? I wonder what they forgot or changed to need to do that?
The popular and most likely theory is that Toxitron and whoever he's paired with (be it Counterpunch or one of the Pretenders) will be the last shipment with the bonus figure. If they leave the Pretenders for last then certain people will cancel their payments once they've completed Wreckage.

As far as the last shipment goes, the double Pretenders and Toxitron are sold out everywhere, so I'd guess Toxitron and double pretender.

meaning her white fluoresces under a blacklight, where on my arcee at least, the white doesn't react, just some of her pink (mainly the painted pink). I don't know if that's a by-batch thing though because my jetfire has literally one part of his left leg that glows under blacklight and it's weird.

I really do hope the mystery figure is a Decepticon, then I'd be able to make a Galvatronus and Wreckage. I already have 4 Autobot limbs ready, and after Counterpuch, I'd only be shy one more Decepticon limb to go.
Things do look good for Quake though. Out of the base molds Funpub has used, the only ones not used so far are the Groove mold, the Blast-Off mold and the Brawl mold. And since it's rumored that Funpub didn't have access to the two Takara molds, that leaves us with a tank left, and one last Double Target Master would be a sweet end for the sub.

on the other hand...BBTS still has these up for "pre-order" I would have thought they would have got their shipment by now and started distributing them...

To quote VH1's We love toys special, "Looks kind of like a robot right? Did I transform it correctly?"

Our very own Grimdragon2001 has done a video review of Funpub Transformers Timelines Lifeline and Quickslinger. In this video we can see that Lifeline is a redeco of Thrilling 30 Arcee and Quickslinger is a redeco of Thrilling 30 Flanker. These figures were available through The Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club.
Lifeline is a Paradon medic from the G1 cartoon. She sports a mint green and white paint job that nearly mirrors Arcee. Quickslinger was once a soldier before she decided to become Lifeline's assistant. If you would like to see some in hand images of these figures please check out this article.

Mmmm, Lifeline looks lovely. The deco is superb, though I doubt I'll ever have the chance to own her.

Eh, you never know. Secondhand market, or one of the online shops might have some extra stock. (not at a reasonable price, mind you, even considering the markup for exclusivity) I liked Lifeline when I saw the announcement. She wasn't a "must have", but a figure I would have been glad to own. Speaking now though as a proud owner, I think I woulda been dissapointed if I had skipped her. So if you ever do get a chance, and are willing to pay a reasonable mark-up, I reccomend you do so. For me, Quickslinger is a neat piece on her own, but as an homage she misses the mark for me. Other than color, nothing makes me think of the Ransack redeco. I mention this, because you might find a loose Lifeline without Quickslinger. And since one cannot hold the other anyway, that might be a satisfactory option for you?

So there's a Cybertronian version of Silent Hill. Good to know.
The colors are beautiful. I was surprised how nice he looked when I opened the box.
I didn't even realize she was a homage until just now when you pointed out that the Ransack repaint was the same colors.

Lifeline has paint dipped pink hands.
Fortunately I had already decided to cancel the remaining installments and sell the first shipment. Asinine decision.

Regarding the painted hands, that's a choice based on where the molded plastic tree colors come out. Can't get around it if you want that color hands.
