That's a Decepticon Key with him.....

Wish it were an Autobot to go with Evac. :-(

The packaging itself is already Decepticon...

I seen the key before the Decepticon wording on the package.

Still disappointing they didn't make him an Autobot though.

Probably because S7 tortures TFs in the movie?

Just a guess

That Allspark line Escalade is an S7 vehicle too...Stockade I think...he's a decepticon too isn't he?

if you have ever picked up or owned Shortround you know this is a lame mold...hasbro really should have painted him yellow and blue and called him Seaspray that would have ensured him to be a must have...but as it stands blahhhhh....spose it would be easy to repaint him and keep him in hovercraft mode...I just never liked this dudes arms he just looks freaky in robot form

Yeah, but Landmine is an Autobot and an S7 vehicle. Thus the logic breaks down.

Back to the point, Storm Surge is an interesting name...will get if I find him...and robot mode isn't too garish (colours don't look too promising).

Oh, delicious. I missed out on Shortround, and I like this new color scheme a bit more.

As for toilet mode, "Storm Surge" sounds a bit more suggestive than Shortround. Flush attack, anyone?

I actually really love shortround, I dig freaky looking bot modes.

This repaint says Autobot to me though, not con. Shortround was clearly decepticon but this new colour scheme doesnt do that.

I agree with everyone who posted about making this a seaspray repaint, would have been a perfect repaint then.
little yellow and blue and white, I would be salivating.

I like it. As the holidays are getting closer I'm cutting back on buying new releases though. Here's hopeing its still on the pegs after new years.

I have Shortround already, but I may pick this guy up. I think he's the closest we'll get to an official Seaspray homage :<

Posted by Chaoslock on November 7th, 2007 @ 6:37am CST

Hasbro can't let out the Seaspray recolor. It is sure they will make a Botcon or CC Exclusive for that.

Very nicely detailed paint job on this little guy. Will pick up!

I didn't like this figure the first time around, can't see liking him now.

For me it's his arms that kill him.

...and no I don't think he'd make a good SeaSpray, no without some serious retooling, which we all know the'll never do.

Re: Target Exclusive STORMSURGE listed online at Target.com (445720)
Posted by TFBuyer on November 7th, 2007 @ 7:50am CST

Yeah, his arms are a bit weird, but the fact that he's a hovercraft makes him cool by default.

Very nice. I'm kind of glad that they are carrying over the Basic Exclusives through the Allspark line.

How about a Scattorshot repaint??

DOH! Dis is true...I guess S7 going from bad to good makes it possible to slap either an Autobot or Decepticon symbol on them.

This should make Skowl happy.

Too bad they didn't do him up in G1 colors and call him Seaspray, but this will work. I like the mold because it's ... different (unique?).

Never did care for the long arms on this mold, so he's probably a pass for me. Like the paint job though.

Nope, only the target Exclusive Scout figures are Repaints of Cybertron and Energon figures.

The other sizes (deluxe, voyager, leader) are are repaints of movie figures and new figures as well.

Yes, Skowl is indeed happy!

Woohoo! :grin:

Shortround is my all-time favourite Transformers, and I always hoped they would repaint him for the movie line. The colours are cool, (but I will say a seaspray colour scheme would have been better - I'm usually against G1 homages unless they're for obscure characters, and Seaspray hasn't had a single homage yet), shame there are no bot mode pics yet...

Oh, and "Stormsurge" is a friggin' awesome name.

OOO a Shortround repaint...

Well he and Armourhide were two of the best Cybertron Basic, and neither had a repaint in that line, so I suppose its fair that they have been redone in the Movie line.

Key looks snazzy. If I see it I'll buy it.
