Every time this gets a new official mention, I get my hopes up for this design being redecoed mostly mint green with a little white for a wide release. That'll probably happen when I finally get around to repainting the one that's been on my workbench almost 2 decades.

Leige Maximo makes so much sense for Sideways

Also, its so weird seeing Excellion referred to as a legend of Cybertron feels so bizarre given that the character never appeared in the cartoon or its comics, and his only appearance in any media is a text-only story from Timelines

Going to be interesting once again to see Astrotrain and Blastoff displayed next to each other both being shuttles yet different sizes. lol

Scale is out the window with the Combaticons anyway.

Even if they make Blast Off a Jet, it's still widely out of scale with a Tank, a Jeep and a Helicopter regardless.

Just let him be a totally off scale Shuttle and we'll be fine.

Whoa, that's a deep reference.

You're likely right, though, as I think that's too specific to be coincidental.

Same! I'm comparing him to my GF original, and there are very minute differences I'm really spotting now. Interesting that in the stock photos the backpack is kept up.

Went in Wal-mart yesterday and couldn't believe my eyes; actual new current wave figures, early even. I bought Waspinator and (the only)Slingshot. They also had 1 Air Raid but Slingshot is the only Aerialbot I want(they all look great though), so I left it.




Slingshot is awesome. I have only two complaints: he cannot look up at all and his heels/back of foot. Another hinge was needed or something, but I know, blah blah, not in the budget. Otherwise perfect, looks like he jumped off the screen.

Waspinator was my first time handling this mould as I didn't like Animated Bee enough to buy and was waiting on Wasp. Very glad I did, as he is amazing. This small of a figure has wrist swivels and the rest of the articulation all over that deluxe scale and up should, but importantly he can look all the way up, wonderful. Please articulate all heads like this, a small cutout to allow looking up is much preferred then accurate back of the head looks to me.

Now I have completed my G1 headcannon Scavengers
