As I have said elsewhere, that better not be Pointblank's actual Targetmaster companion there, because that looks to have absolutely no articulation (aside from folding in half to transf- convert). After Titans Return, Legends and the Siege Battlemasters that would really be taking the piss if it doesn't.

Whereas I would find it a charming homage to the original.

Minerva and Red Cog here are the two needs from this year's Exclusive Apocalypse for me Minerva looks nice but I have hit pause on any TF's with white plastic until we see if they have New Yellowing Syndrome. -Ralph |

I think cost means it'll be a newer cheaper, form. I mean - Pointblank has given up his pants to provide enough plastic for his partner. To get a Battlemaster he'd have to give up his whole crotch.

I am pleased that Dead End has his yellow stripe in car mode.
Edit. This was supposed to be a genuine positive post but now I've thought of it, I can't resist saying:
I hope that's supposed to be there...

Think I'm doing OK with this year's Exclusive Apocalypse so far: Buzzworthy Silverstreak
Legacy Buzzsaw, Nightprowler & Sandstorm
Buzzworthy Bumblebee Creatures Collide Goldbug, Ransack, Skywasp & Scorponok
Velocitron Cosmos, Override & Hauler
Wreckers Impactor, Spindle, Leadfoot, Dominus, Springer, Bulkhead & Twin Twist
Buzzworthy Toy Deco Terrorsaur & Dinobot Plus Selects and Shattered Glass, neither of which really are exclusives are they? Red Cog is worrying me: out in the US, none in the UK as yet. Measures may have to be taken. Plus there's the annual Walgreens fun to come, the as yet unannounced Minerva, pics at tmukhub.proboards.com/post/476430/threadI *THINK* that's it but I worry there may be some more Amazon fun to come. Red Cog in the bag, just Minerva to go. Will she come to the UK, like Road Rage & Bluestreak, or will she do a Siege Ratchet? |

I'm missing one of those: Red Cog and he's ordered from ID These had been on my mind in terms of versions released: Cog (3) Aragon & Red Cog
Sixgun (2) Cromar
Brunt (3) Zetar & Centurion Drone
Fasttrack (3) Black Roritchi & Slicer's Exo Suit
Slammer (1)
Ironworks (3) Greasepit & Golden Disc Ironworks
Airwave (3) Hot House & Overair Slammer and Sixgun lagging behind a bit there. A Metrotank and Metroshot pack should even that out a bit but still leaves Slammer one short. But Cog still needs his Blue Brave Cog repaint..... and I'm not sure what I could do as a fourth repaint of the others! |

Why do you need more repaints when you just buy more of the originals anyway, Mr Airwave?

No winged spoiler and the Targetmaster is straight from 1987? Personally, that's not great.
I mean, of course I'm gonna buy him, but still...

Yeah, that Targetmaster is really taking the piss. Especially given that the recent toy colours Cyclonus came with a more poseable Targetmaster companion. This is a big "no" from me.

No pants and now no spoiler/shield?
Articulation aside, this is certainly a case of the original looking so much better.

I mean, not to be a dick, but there is a Legends toy right there with no Western release.

I'm not keen on articulated Targetmasters. I prefer the 'bend over to Transform' originals. So I like this.

The bumper gun is nice - and on upside down in some pics.

Wondering now if Hasbro will do an Impactor with Crankcase and release several subtly-different versions that will eventually give us his IDW Scavengers damaged head or not...
