I like that overload resembles Centurion from the Marvel UK Comics too.

Based on his shape and a semi-official leaked storyboard, I'd guess he's some kind of spitting lizard/toad that breathes fire and spits minicons.

You can definitely see the resemblance. Maybe someone at hasbro was inspired to do the cyclones similar to bakugan

Well, okay. Since you stated that Crazybolt is some kind of a lizard, then what kind of lizard to be exact? From what we already knew, Crazybolt first made his debut in Beast Wars Neo where he was a frilled dragon that turned into a human and he only spoke Japanese. But this version of Crazybolt, as we speak, will be English-speaking for sure. Judging by the storyboard, is it likely that he will eventually escape from the Autobots and join Steeljaw's team, or be captured like all the rest, no matter how powerful they are? I'm starting to get little tired of this cops-and-robbers storyline for this series. It's time for Hasbro to turn this series into a full-fledged war series during Season 2, since the majority of Transformers is war-themed. Don't get me wrong, though. I still love this series. It's just that I question the storyline for this series, that's all.
Since this is a sequel to Transformers: Prime, do you still remember Airachnid? Airachnid is a humanoid spider that can turn into a helicopter. Does that really mean that all animal-based Transformers that can turn into vehicles, including Crazybolt, are descended from her?
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on November 21st, 2015 @ 2:52pm CST
And Airachnid was last seen as a part-zombie on the moon of cybertron, so who knows what happened since then. and the cons were probably born from the well of all-sparks when Optimus returned the allspark, so they are probably all new from the well and just designed that way, not descended from anyone as there really isn't a way for them to be descended from anyone

GTFO! You wont believe this but I read Carry's quote first and was going to write "oh no, Hotshot overthre that title in 2025 and it hasnt stopped since". And then I scroll below and see your comment.

I'm not gonna lie here: I'm trying to figure out if this is a good thing, or if I should be very concerned for my well-being....

One-Step changers are here to stay, I know many of you don't want to hear that but it's true. Fortunately Hasbro keeps finding different and fun ways for vehicles to turn into robots, or robotic animals as is the case with Springload and Quillfire. I'm a little disappointed that Hasbro didn't use a push button, spring transformation on Springload; that was a missed opportunity. With that said both make for fun desk toys and are perfect for the younger fans in your life.

psj333 wrote:I'm now glad that Springload finally does get a toy. So far he is only available as a One-Step figure. In vehicle mode, he is supposed to be a pickup truck that resembles a 1960s Ford Bronco, but somehow Hasbro remolded his vehicle mode into some type of a muscle car. Is his vehicle mode is actually a pickup truck that resembles a muscle car? Or only for this version? I believe that if they have a Warrior-version of him, perhaps they will make him have a pickup truck vehicle mode that looks just like the one in the cartoon. What are your thoughts on that?
Yes, I am pretty certain the choice for the alt mode was for something that would work best with the animal mode. If he had a warrior class toy, it would make sense that they try to make him be a pickup like he is on the show.

After all, the RID toys all use unlicensed vehicle mode designs anyway. This isn't the movies we're talking about here.

I wish they would have done the button on top for the spring transformation. Imagine him going from dune buggy truck mode to RIBBIT!! Beast Frog of terror mode!

These are commander class. Not sure why they call is a minicon 4-pack. Wouldnt these be 2 packs since each gives you 2 toys? Also, that price is wack, each comes out to the price of a deluxe.

The price listed is for 2 4-packs of minicons, totaling 8 minicons for 33.99, which is actually a bit cheaper than the individuals price of about $5 each. The photos shown are clearly the 2-packs which have been seen earlier, which I imagine will actually retail for about $10 each (give or take a buck or two).
Nice catch man! This makes way more sense.

Neither did the news staff at the time the article was written. We figured time was of the essence for these new releases.
At least you guys were able to order it, these codes dont work for anyone outside the states, so while you might have saved an extra 50 cents, you got a way better deal than most other fans out there who want to get them as soon as possible (and will beat them to owning them too).
Just showing what a half full glass looks like.
