BotCon 2015 Exclusive 'Cybertron's Most Wanted' Transformers Toy Reveal - The Loose Cannon

HAH! Called it, SO Called it!

Meh, close enough to Ricochet.

So by most wanted, are they actually trying to make a team with these guys, or is it simply going to be, "hey we were asked for these, so here you go."?

If you watched the whole video, you'd hear his bio and how he came in Axiom Nexus, where the story takes place.

Ah! Watched it on mute so's not to disturb the wife and her stories

Who ordered the screencaps?

SG Ricochet ? How lame. This has gotta be the dud of the set. If it gets any worse im out. Ill just by the duocons on ebay and save shelf space.

SG

Knew it would be a red Jazz, but did not see them coming with making it a different character from the already established SG Ricochet. So now the G1 guy gets two SG universe counterparts.

Upon revealing the name, at first I was like "HUH?!"

But after seeing the robot mode deco, and hearing the bio, I am interested.

Of particular note is something the bio mentioned about a run in with some GoBots that led Stepper to be sent to Axiom Nexus. This bit of info actually refers to some apocryphal Club fiction. I say "apocryphal" because the story it alluded to has yet to be released. Back at BotCon 2013, the TCC Raoundtable Panel had announced a new text story that was to be called "Spatiotemporal Challengers", written by Andrew Hall, and illustrated by Hayato Sakamoto. This story would have focused on the GoBots who had previously appeared in the TCC prose story "Withered Hope", as that story had left the GoBots plot thread dangling and unfinished. From what little has been said about this story, it was to have had the GoBots having some adventure that would have led them to the SG universe, which we see here being alluded to in this Stepper toy's bio. But as of this typing, the story has still not been released. But hopefully this bio's alluding to it could be a sign of its finally getting put online to read.

Although, I get the feeling that the "Most Wanted" double-meaning title doesn't refer to this guy being "wanted" by the fans (like Packrat and Battletrap were), but instead "wanted" to be made by the Club itself. So this one figure could be seen as the Club throwing itself a bone for a little harmless indulgence. And it really is harmless since, come on, this thing does still look really cool, so it's not like we're getting shafted here as we're still getting a cool-looking figure out of this.

I personally love the SG concept, and I couldn't care less about this release.

Worth noting is that the pieces shown in the video are samples and thus not final. You can hear him commenting on requesting tweaks (like his orange) and how some are really close to the desired final product.

Ughhhhh first toy of a character that I like that has disappointed me in the history of collecting Transformers.



I wish he was gold instead of orange especially since he was retconned into a SG comic with that deco.
