What an economy we live in today, where in the 80's he was a CEO of a multi-billion dollar corporation, and now he's been reduced to pumping gas to make ends meet...

G.B. Blackrock, a business man and Autobot ally from the Marvel comics and a semi-major player at that. The choice of him being represented by a Kreon refers to the canceled Block Town line, an attempt to mix Transformers with building blocks, and Carzap's parent line:

Expect the head to be reused for his predecessor, G1 EU Zap aka G2 Windbreaker:

That figure would be awesome - the orange and blue really pop.
So many great uses from that IDW Bumblebee mold...

Except Bumblebee it seems
I'd buy an orange & blue version of that no worries.
Anyone know roughly how long it takes to ship an order direct from the club store? I've ordered Nova Prime and a few others, just wondering what their average handling time is before they'll be posted?

In addition to what JelZe said, he's pretty much the most important human ally of the Autobots in the G1 Marvel Comics (aside from Buster Witwicky, that is).Rated X wrote:Sabrblade wrote:He pumped gas in the 80's too.

Looking at the back windshield makes me wonder why we haven't gotten a Windcharger out of deluxe Bee and on the other part of the spectrum, sure, we'll most likely get Windbreaker out of Carzap, but come on! That's a dead ringer for Legends Taligate! Wonder why we got Windcarger out of Tailgate with the RTS one being so recent, Windbreaker would've been nicer, we got G2 Dreadwing after all. That said. I love my lil' red CW guy, his granite effect is awesome!

Im think because the RTS Windcharger was so hard to find, and he's one of the core original characters - "easy money" repaint? He was also in the flashback parts of the MTMTE comics... Hopefully we see more bright and colourful redecos of that mould in the future.

Nova Prime is shipping really fast. Some people, like fellow user Powered Convoy, have already gotten him in hand.

Hmm my order that was placed about 5:30am Thursday their time is still marked as "Not Shipped." Hopefully that's just them not updating the system or that it'll go out sometime today

Good news folks for those waiting on their TCC exclusive Lio Convoy, we just got word from Seibertron.com member Zomatron that he just got his in today! That means everyone should be receiving theirs in soon if you haven't gotten it already! Lio Convoy is a repaint of Generations Orion Pax with a new head. Check out the picture that Zomatron was kind enough to provide and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

That looks HORRIBLE!
There is NO excuse for such shoddy workmanship on such a high-priced figure! None!

Yeesh... that's really bad even by Club standards. Did something happen to the molds, or the materials that they were made from?

I remember saying when pictures first came out months ago "man that head sculpt looks horrible compared to the concept art". I also remember being told "it looks fine, you're over exaggerating they never look like the concept art". Who's laughing now! Still not me.
