I forgot about tarn, but I'll be damned if i can't remember Jhiaxus/Vector at all.
I'm not disbelieving you, mind you, but that one's just blank, lol.

This is what I think is going on here - I've straightened some of the pictures in order to draw on them easier. This may make it a bit more obvious that the legs don't look even cos one of them has been popped off the mushroom peg at the hip. I think the back tells us a fair bit about the vehicle mode, which we're probably looking at from above: Green circled bit is a window, probably slanted from roof down & forwards toward the front of the vehicle. White area is the vehicle cab roof, red is a vertical back to the cab Legs: there's a set of a pair of wheels inside the legs at the back. These look like they fold out to the sides and then the lower legs fold back 180° at the knees. I can't quite work out what's going on with the arms and the shoulder pads: I think possibly the chest plate folds down 180° and then the arms fold in under the cab with the shoulder pads forming the front of the vehicle, but there's something going on with the forearms folding out that I'm not 100% sure about Basically I think we're looking at a low truck cab with a sloped front. |

I think this is gonna be the U-Haul bot. |

I'd heard the Hearts of Steel Op theory expressed elsewhere. I can see where it's coming from

I think this is gonna be the U-Haul bot. Was literally about to type the same thing. But yeah, I think that’s what it’s going to be. Anyway, I know it’s a prototype and it’s missing the head and deco and other bits, but all the same it still doesn’t look all that exciting. For the first proper toy release of the Primes you’d expect something special, to make them stand out, and for then to have some sort of interesting features to mark them out as special. I know that this is no longer how the Black Serie- sorry, Generations works. But all the same, it might have been nice… |

Eh. Yeah. I mean, the fire effects are nice. But they’re still also just fire effects. Nothing special. He doesn’t even have light-piping for his face, which he really should.
This one I think will be sold on “look it’s that guy who showed up in the cartoon that one time”.

Meanwhile where are my Flame Zombie hordes or G2 Rook figures??

The detailing and patterns on this look like they’re going for something on the ornate side, along the lines of Vector Prime, so I’m still tending towards this being one of the primes.

But a comic referencing battle damaged Zombie version? I just won't buy another Impactor. I already have four similar looking ones (some of which I really should move on). For certain characters I am no longer interested in iterations and/or have a good enough version already. -Ralph |
