I might pickup Devcon if I see him, but I am still good with my previous Beachcomber — even if the parrot is cute :p

Wait. Axelgrease is a FEMBOT?
Tsk, I bet that's one more case of Dia-Burnout when only the hardcore can tell it's a fema...
Well well well, just look at that!

Well, yeah, but it's fun that not only we are told a bot is a fembot, it's also nice when the repainted bot have remoldings that make her LOOK like an actual fembot.

If it helps, the head is based on Nancy, plus the colors may seem off, but they're based on a separate set of Junkions:

Not just that. She also have some hips and a very feminine head.

I must be looking at a different bot because I'm not seeing anything that qualifies as "very feminine."

That's a very feminine head and face.

Your definition of "very feminine" seems to be limited to a lack of a robo-mustache. Personally, I just don't see it. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

However, everything below them was changed, she now has thinner thighs to go with the feminine face and bikini top.

There's more than one way to color a Junkion, which is good otherwise parents may pass on her saying "you already have that one"

That sounds more like he's saying that's not the Shattered Glass colors but had come up with something new based on inverted colors.

:checks emails: I do see that, but someone else did several hours beforehand, thus the new credit went to them. Sorry! I know it can be hard to know when it takes awhile for stuff to go up, but if you're interested in helping us be better at that we pretty much always need new volunteers for news staff.

New head, backpack, shoulders, maybe feet too? In the end it comes down to parts layout but I think they could do something convincing with this mold making it unrecognizable from a movie figure (which I think would actually be required and probably would entirely derail this whole idea).
For Kaskade... I'm really trying to resist saying a Shadow Striker repaint, but I'm sure that's where they're headed. Surprise me, Hasbro.

I think Velocitron IDW Blurr is the more intuitive starting point for Javelin. I also would like anything other than a Side Burn Kaskade, but with such a deep fembot cut, I'm not going to complain in any event.

Meanwhile, Stormbringer Thunderwing and Tidal Whale (Two of IDW's best redesigns) lay [officially] forgotten. Alongside even updates of neglected/forgotten G1 figures like Blue Bacchus and/or the Firecons (original moulds, not retools). I know in contrast to HasTak, I have an eye for completing sets. But at least some attention should be paid to reinventions of popular characters before barrel-scraping redecos.

I could see those being a future exclusive capsule, maybe for Amazon, since we basically have analogs for each of those characters out or coming, all the way down to how Needlenose connects to Skyquake.

Exactly this. As per my example earlier:
Black/Sky Shadow has had three figures since his debut (1989, 2011, 2017)
Blue Bacchus has had one (1989)
This is ridiculous, considering within fiction they are a pair/team:
It would be like only ever remaking one of the Horrorcons. Or Battlechargers. But don't worry fans, we've got Kaskade...
Posted by Sabrblade on June 29th, 2023 @ 3:21pm CDT
In the years since, Black Shadow has gone on to be either a solo act or a member of a different team, like the Phase Sixers.

Don't forget he has a pedigree that works really well in his favor, unlike Blue Bacchus. The latter did appear as a virtual redeco in a BotCon comic, better than nothing...

Yet if these selections were based on exposure. Would the Battlechargers have had three releases since their debut??

If we make the distinction between club and regular releases, Black Shadow has one up them.
