I don't understand why anyone believed the Bluestreak rumor in the first place. FP specifically stated that the CC figure would have a new head, and Prowl's head extremely similar to Bluestreak's, so it wouldn't to make a new one.

As for the figure itself, I was right on it being Ratchet, and it's really cool that you have five options for it.

Damn, was really hoping for a mainline release of a CW Ratchet eventually... oh well, aftermarket prices are gonna be fuuuuuuun.

Leftovers will be found on the club's website. Unpainted of course, since this is a custom class and the whole point is you have to paint it yourself. You also have to be a club member to purchase it.

Hmmmm... If only the combiner peg is white, yea I think that'll look better.

Ya, good point. That would look better.
The translucent HFGs and weapons are strange and wonderful though.

I never stated it on Seibertron, but I been predicting Ratchet since the reveal of Terrorsaur shot down my Red Wing hopes.

Good news is, you were right!

I thought it was paint, and the Stickers are included for the non-attendee custom class figure. I could be wrong.
