Okay, I'm not the only one who was ecstatic to get an improved official Wipe Out to replace the nice Takara one with the lousy Windcharger face until I looked at the name on her bio, am I?
But I have two of him already (counting the custom dye-job I made from a yellowed G1 Tailgate 10 years ago), so getting an overdue take on a character whose original toy I'll probably never own is way better; just confused for a few minutes.

Yah, that's a bit odd. I wonder if there's a yellow gun that she can hold that's easy to obtain in the aftermarket. Seems silly not to have her with a gun. Love the mold choice for her, just bummed that something more clever wasn't done to replace the Mini-Con/Micromaster partner or to give her an additional gun from another mold. I keep hoping this will be addressed by Hasbro or something where they can start making extra guns, kind of like they've done with the weapons from the Construct-Bots being given to regular main-line Transformers figures.
I'm guessing we'll have to wait for a Shapeways tommy-gun if anything, but for those of us wishing to make do with what we got, I found a decent gun mode for Shakar already: just point the peg out to serve as the barrel, then point the treads down to stabilize him on her outstretched arm. It looks way clunkier than any of the myriad gun modes I got out of last year's Catgut, but still convinces you that Nightracer's capable of capping Ultra Mammoth and BW Megs from across the room with her dozer-zooka.

Oh, and am I the only one who thinks Gatoraider's weapon mode looks like a Ghostbuster trap in those colors?
