Looks like those low prices on BBTS were a mistae since now all the deluxes are at 25$. Did anyone get a chance to preorder them for 16.99$?

What do you dislike about his deco?
That it's in Ultra Magnus-esque colors. He was hoping for a Junkion toy to be in Junkion colors (brown, orange, tan, red, yellow, gray, etc.).

Maybe being completely reassembled has... side effects...

I'd really like a Detritus (name spelling?) out of this mold. Has a snowball's chance of happening, but hey, non-standard Junkion, still a reasonable alt mode for a Junkion.

I'm all over that Nemesis Prime but I'm a bit disappointed BBTS doesn't have Junkheap up yet

But maybe it is Ultra Magnus - you know from that alternate ending to the original Transformers Movie where Magnus is definitely and completely killed by Galvatron, and rather than reassemble him in a nonsensical sleight of hand, the Junkions just piece-meal his body back into a macabre suit of powered armor for Wreck-Gar to wear.

Hey, Minimus Ambus sort of looks like Wreck-Gar, doesn't he... :-?

Oh my gosh what if Dominus Ambus **is** Wreck-Gar, and now because of the time-stream change, instead of being a robot that talks like a TV, he's a TV that talks like a robot!!!

Even if Load Block only comes with one Targetmaster (for some reason, and that's thankfully still an "if" as of this reveal) I will seriously buy him just to get it. He looks like Tip Top and Heater, just combined a different way! Viva 1988!!

Mistranslation
Road and Load are spelt and pronounced the same way in Japanese (no "L" consonant exists in their language)

I get that. I just figured it had already been established as "Roadblock" without further confusion.

I think one of the Asian based retailers had him listed as Load Block, or maybe it was just the auto translation from Google choosing the wrong word.

Knock Out has to be based on Generations Dead End, especially the gray car with red bot-parts and the red, black, and yellow on his chest and the color and shape of his "crotch plate" and upper legs. If that wasn't intentional then it was one heck of a coincidence for all of these things to match.

Swoop reminds me vaguely of Skyjack with the red, black, and gold bits as well as the gold face. Universe Skyfall also replaced the original figure's yellow with gold.

You mean he's based on G1 Wildrider?

Yes and no. While it's true Generations Dead End makes a better Wildrider, Knock Out is definitely based on that one specific figure and not the G1 figure.

Or it's just they colored Knock Out's altmode pieces silver while keeping the rest of him in his normal red colors. Others have said he looks like Bluestreak or Crosscut.

It is very unlikely that Takara would homage a GDO figure.

Why is that any more unlikely than all of the obscure American comic references they've been making? Masterpiece Marvel Grimlock? G2 comic Sideswipe? Heck, Roadblock is pretty obscure in himself. How about those four tapes that came with the most recent Soundblaster and Broadcast reissues, it doesn't get any more obscure than those, only Wingthing previously had a figure (also not released in Japan)! I don't think there's such a thing as "unlikely" any more. Only Bluestreak I can see in him is being a silver/gray car with a black stripe which would be needed to imitate the black on the Dead End figure's chest. Not to mention this is a Decepticon.

I think people need a visual:

It's not a 100% perfect match, but it's about as close as the other TAV repaints, maybe even closer.
