Let's see, no red on the ankles, the arms are the opposite of what they should be, red helmet, grey feet. Yeah, he may be a Red Alert but he's not my Red Alert. Except your Red Alert figure would then vanish as mysteriously as he'd appeared, not to be seen again for quite some time. And that's not ideal in an action figure. |

After this, wasn't it 2009 until he showed up again!? |

What Red Alert Did Next would make an amazing theme for a fanzine!

Has he been secretly fighting conspiracies, real or imagined, all the time we haven't seen him?
Has he always been hiding just around a corner somewhere during key moments in Transformers history waiting for his next opportunity to KO someone with a single punch?
Just somehow successfully hiding out, in one of the least convincing disguises of the original Autobot cars?

Hiding round a corner in Time Wars, waiting for a chance to punch Galvatron in what's left of his face? Hiding behind a tree in Dinobot Hunt, waiting to punch Grimlock in the jaw? He was driving the Ark, about to slap Unicron across the mouth?
The possibilities are endless!

It takes the piss for the official product description to say it goes with a figure from 2013 (subject to availability). It can only be purchased via TIME TRAVEL.

I don't think slammer is a brunt retool, because brunt breaks down into more than 8 pieces.

I don't think slammer is a brunt retool, because brunt breaks down into more than 8 pieces. I thought he broke down into exactly eight - lower legs x 2, arms x 2, upper legs and waist, torso, gun thing, and the platform that the tank barrel attaches to. Is there something else? Or some parts which might not be intended to separate? |

Lower legs ×2
Waist/hips ×1
Torso ×1
Arms ×2
Cannon ×2
Cannon platform ×1
That's 9, and it feels like I'm forgetting something else beyond the handgun.
Maybe I'm being overly hopeful because I never want to see the existing weaponizer and modulator molds ever again, and would prefer something new.

His well known character trait of attacking Decepti-fools with an axe lives on to this day.

So glad these are out in the public domain as it's allowed me to clear out a lot of the original Kingdom Posts from rumours!
Pipes looks fab, very happy with that. Cab folds the right way, hands + pipes
Slammer: we were discussing earlier if he was a Brunt retool..... and now I've seen the illustration I'm still not sure. But it's a buy two no matter what
Shadow Panther: Oh Dear they've used the Mutant Mask. Shadow Panther has been normal Cheetor heads in every picture I've seen.
Tigaton: Fab, just what you'd expect bar the lack of guns.
