Well...looks promising at least. Chopsaw is a definite pass. Not a big fan of the robot mode, and that light grey plastic is hideous as usual.

Do you have any more pics of Windcharger by chance?
Posted by Carnivius_Prime on October 19th, 2010 @ 10:57am CDT
I'm more interested in the Scattershot repaints particularly the darker one. Who are they?

His head is actually based on the G1 cartoon, but a tad more angular. Look at Alternator Decepticharge, or even Binaltech Arcee, they have Windcharger's intended head.

Firetrap (green) and Autobot Flak (grey). Firetrap is mass retail and a homage to either G1 Roadbuster, or G1 Brawn, while Flak is an exclusive. Flak comes in a 3-pack with a repaint of Dune Runner as Rollbar, and a repaint of Legends Ravage.

Thanks. I'll try to find those then. I don't mind buying that 3 pack as I don't yet own any figure using that Dune Runner mold and while I have Legends Ravage I'm quite happy to have another especially if it's got a different color scheme. I just really like the Scattershot mold and want those redecoes Flak and Firetrap and have a lil unit of them sorta the same way the Seekers are.

I do love Windcharger. I hope they make more Scout class G1-ers.

I don't know why this one is so hard for me...

Heh, thanks. I looked for it on ebay and amazon and couldn't find it. That pic says exclusive to Sainsburys so am glad to see it IS available in the UK though I seem to live in an area not near a Sainsburys. I checked their website but it ain't there. Times like these I wish I had a lot more money and could drive (buses are a rip off here and useless)

I have a couple of large Sainsburys stores near me, if you can't find one, let me know and I'll hook you up.
Can't wait for that Windcharger to come out, that is a buy-on-sight...

I assume we'll just get a straight repaint, but a retool of the head would probably convince a lot more people to pick up the repaint. The helmet bit could even stay the same, just need to change the face. Of course, for someone as minor as Tailgate I doubt this will happen - but you never know.

Thanks. When I got a bit more money together (doing a small paid project at moment) I'll see about if I can spare the money for it and get back to you. I didn't know ya get lil soldiers in it too. I really like that pack.
Ok I'll stop being somewhat off-topic now

Agreed. The minicons have been getting some weird size modifiactions in the Classics/Generations/etc. lines. I may have forgotten some but there was a deluxe Bumblebee and Cliffjumper, Legends Wheelie, Warpath, Beachcomber, and Brawn, Ultra Powerglide, and (if you are one of the people that count him) Voyager Seaspray.
I could see Gears as a Leader class toy...

Love to see Scout versions of the RID Spychangers, especially Ironhide.

Then may be a Botcon Rook

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing too...
At any rate, Windcharger looks immensely promising and is a automatic purchase in my book. Chopsaw... Not so much. Maybe as a Junkion. Possibly. Not. Heh.
Now, to see if Hasbro'll repaint Windcharger into Tailgate or not in the coming months.

It has the vehicle & robot mode properly transformed and it shows off the magnet gimmick and some posability too.
Apparently he'll be out next month. Excellent!

I agree, I'm trying to collect, create or otherwise homage the full set of geewunn minis in scout size.
Firetrap, with only slight retooling (if you even feel you need to) is a great Brawn!

I was thinking that...and actually... maybe if I use Firetrap as G1 Brawn, ROTF Brawn can be RID X-Brawn/Wild Ride!
The more I think about it the more I like it! The big chunky arms work, the head mold works, the coloring is close enough... The shoulder weapon thing on ROTF Brawn can even homage the way X-Brawn's weapons store on his back. Conundrum solved!
