Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

As a heads up to yourself, after seeing this reveal, I can say with confidence that the last two will very likely not be toys of anyone from 1984-1987.Rated X wrote:SG Ricochet ? How lame. This has gotta be the dud of the set. If it gets any worse im out. Ill just by the duocons on ebay and save shelf space.

For Packrat, lots of folks actually did think of him as the best redeco for Generations Rattrap, and had wished that Hasbro had put the mold out sooner so that it could have used for Packrat in last year's set, so this one is an idea in demand by the fans.Rated X wrote:On a side note, I remember one of these videos saying the "most wanted" theme is supposed to be whats most wanted by the fans...
How many of you guys really really really wanted an SG stepper and a blue rat ?

It was originally posted as a rebuttal to a claim that this toy retconned the guy everyone thought was a golden SG Ricochet in "Invasion" into being the new-character SG Stepper.Pete@BotCon wrote:Just checked out his page. You probably know better than me (HA!) BUT I don't think we called him Ricochet in that comic. He was always intended to be SG Stepper once we got to colors. And he WAS SG Stepper in the story. That's right. This figure has been on my radar for 3 years
So. Not a retcon.

Why? Why does it matter so much that he's SG? All five of these figures are troublemakers from different worlds. It's only logical to include a representative from the one world that the Club has put more effort into than it has for most of its others that aren't TransTech or Wings G1. This figure is meant to go with the other four in the set just as much as any of them are, as they are a single united team banded together in crime.megatronus wrote:I don't mind the reuse of this mold so much... but seriously, the SG kills it for me.

It's only logical to you because you want it to be.
But me? I'm not a fan of SG. I don't collect those figures, and to me, it's a turnoff.

As for SG Stepper, I'm not gonna lie, it wasn't until I saw its robot mode deco and heard the guy in the video read the character bio that I took any real interest in that figure. As I noted in my first post response to this revelation, I get the feeling that, based on the video guy's own reaction to the toy, this one was not "wanted" by the fans like the other two have been, but was instead "wanted" to be made by the Club itself. So this one figure could be seen as the Club throwing itself a bone for a little harmless indulgence.
And every set has that one figure that's not as strong as the others, so now that we've gotten this one out of the way, we can hopefully look forward to the last two being better.

That's a silly question. Why does there have to be a "Decepticon Stepper" at all? Why can't there just be a lineup of evil-aligned Decepticons?
If they had dropped a new head on the Waspinator mold, chances are they would have made Buzz Saw (another "fan's wanted" figure).Rated X wrote:If they were smart, they would have taken the Waspinator mold, dropped a new head and made Venom.
