And how badly are you going to froth when we bring up that one of these is not quite like the others? Hmmmm, me smells a THEORY! I've virtually no knowledge or interest in these. They do look quite fun though. Fairly dumbed-down Techspecs. Apart from the 'Dance of Doom', of course. |

Remind me how the guns on Dogfight and the two non jet Triggercons work. Something with gears yes?
I know the Triggerbots guns are spring loaded on a trigger.

I take it that Phil's theory is that Windsweeper should have been a Triggerbot, and Dogfight a Triggercon.
Then the Autobots would always be quickest on the draw!

I take it that Phil's theory is that Windsweeper should have been a Triggerbot, and Dogfight a Triggercon. It is. Based on how the weapons work, their colours and the colours of the rest of the toy. And how badly are you going to froth when we bring up that one of these is not quite like the others? Hmmmm, me smells a THEORY! It's one that was aired before and was greeted with "everyone knows that" by sane rational people. tmukhub.proboards.com/post/221268/threadtmukhub.proboards.com/post/289450/thread |

This may be Phil's most nonsensical theory yet. What next? Optimus Prime was meant to be a Decepticon??

And Dogfight/Windsweeper were absolutely definitely supposed to be on the other sides. I completely defend this theory. It is on a par with the Sideswipe /Sunstreaker one. But it's pulled out of people's arses. The toy packaging and fiction are very clear! I now declare that ULTRA MAGNUS was meant to be a Decepticon. Inner white Prime? EVIL PRIME! -Ralph |

But it's pulled out of people's arses. The toy packaging and fiction are very clear! Nobody is arguing that Dogfight IS an Decepticon. We are saying the signs are the toy should have been a Decepticon at some point in it's development, and Windsweeper an Autobot, meaning that all the Triggerbots would have spring loaded chromed weapons and all the Triggercons would have had geared non chrome weapons. We have a pre Toyfair catalog image from Hasbro showing Dogfight as a Decepticon too: |

A lot of the 'same gimmicks' are slightly different on the opposing sides - original Targetmasters & Small/Jnr Headmasters spring to mind.

Dogfight doesn't sound like an Autobot name. Windsweeper doesn't sound like a Decepticon name.

I will grant at some point in development Dogfight might have been on the Decepticon rosta but it didn't make it to the end.. Much like Powermaster Roller. And PotP Victory Saber.

Triggerbots...
... can anyone think of any other toys with a "push the button and out pop the weapons" gimmick?
I got Ultra Optimus Primal and Tigerhawk but couldn't think of any more.
