Darkwing looks great, shame he's not getting a remoulded head. Wish I had the Botcon Dreadwind now.

That Countdown makes me happy in ways I don't understand. Hurrah.

That Darkwing is making me weep tears of sheer joy.

Darkwing is going to look so nice alongside Dreadwind some customiseers have already found a way for them to combine to.
Countdown seems to be continuing the fine tradition of merging multiple micromaster elements into a single universe figure as its seems this one could just as easily have been called Groundshaker.
Nice

It is nice to see Micromaster characters get some love.

Having seen the robot mode it really is Countdown. Nice upgrade from a satelite dish to big rocket. Honestly not totally sold on the mould and even the distribution of red and white feels a bit odd but Countdown remains one of my favourite Micromasters, transformers infact so I'll probably get it.

It is a very nice big red robot. I may have to have one.

I must admit I don't recall seeing it anywhere over here either. It is a nice mold - the only GF/Cybertron mold I still really wish I owned. Might make the effort to pick up this version. Karl

Seeing that robot mode has moved him firmly into Purchase Town.

Ah, I missed that amongst the Countdown discussion. (Blimey, that rocket's big in robot mode.) I think I'd have preferred him as Stalker. As much as I like that Countdown colour scheme I think it would have worked well as Stalker.

He's in Wave 5 with Rodimus, Cosmos & Warpath.
I'd order these in from the US because it's the last pre movie legends wave and if anything slips through the gaps in the UK this will

I see the slingshot with Wheelie but no catapult in sight. I'd have thought a giant castle mounted weapon would be too large to bundle with a Legends figure. ===KEN

A slingshot is a catapult ! Slingshot is the US name for it

IIRC the Universe Inferno is based on the Generation 2 version, hence the 'water gun' rather than a ladder. -Ralph
