He's still the only toy I ever see outside cyberverse.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! YES!
*sees that they were sighted in California*
Yep, we're not going to see them on the east coast for a while. I wants me some Beast Hunters, man!

And only Drag Strip gets the Decepticon-prefix? So the lesson learned from the PCC "Spaz-attack-team" debacle was...just don't ever change Drag Strip's name. Gotcha.
Now to see if anyone interprets "Polar Assault Team" as a slur against people with bipolar disorder. Any members of this team up for repurposing besides Bug Bite?
And the 2 most pressing questions: will Wheeljack also have the Falcon Punch, and will it be possible to cram the FOC disc-guys into that launcher?

The Data diskicons are definitely too thick.
I don't even like Bot Shots that much, but that Stunticon set makes me happy.

1. Falcon Spear.
2. Wheeljack's the only one with a Falcon Spear.

Agreed. Not risking getting sucked into Bot Shots, but that set wins my award for "2012 toy I'm never, ever considering buying whose existence nonetheless gives me greatest joy".

"Wildrider" was used for the BotCon 2011 Animated Stunticons, but that may have been a lucky fluke. They originally lost the name few years back when Spychanger Stunticons were solicited: "Wildrider" became "Wildracer".
And Drag Strip had the prefix for his Universe 2008 toy as well as Human Alliance. PCC Spastic Over-Run was meant as a deco homage, not as G1 Drag Strip. Not that that gets in the way of repurposing though
And Beast Hunter already?! Good thing I'm planning on going on hiatus in preparation for my move.

Same here. As cool as this Wheeljack looks, the deciding factor will be if he looks like that in the show or not.Doubledealer93 wrote:only thing i want is laserback. unless wheeljack looks like that in the show then i want him too.
