Agreed about the smallness of the gun. Isn't that supposed to be some kind of grenade launcher? If so, doubt a grenade can be shot out off such a tiny hole

Nah, Jarrod created this one for me  . As for Jetfire Vs. Skyfire.. I associate Jetfire with Transformers more than Skyfire since I had the toy growing up  

 

If anything I'd say that Kickback looks more like a gangster. He's got a Baker-boy cap and a Tommy gun, for cryin' out loud  

Shrapnel's bio said "grenade launcher", but it never looked very launcher-y to me. I always assumed the bio meant the launchers were the thingies on the undersides of his arms; in my head I made his hand weapon a lightning gun (this was when I was 8; right now, I do feel that was kind of silly when he can already shoot lightning from just about everywhere else on his body  ).

 

Mercenary's gun may not be toy accurate, but looks pretty cartoon accurate to me.

 

   

I'm mostly interested in Forager's release date so I can time his purchase with the purchase of Mercenary and Grenadier, since I haven't picked them up yet and need to find room in the budget to do so. Would hate to wait until after Forager drops then scramble to find the others at a decent price.

 

Feb 30th   two leap years in one?!  

 

Gimmie the gat! Its curtains for you ya little yella rat ya! Nyaa

 

Sorry just saw this, ta  
Yeah let's not hold our breath! But COMEONALREADY

 

The only FT release I can see by April is Stomp. Everything else would be 2-6 months after seeing a review sample prototype.

 

I have absolutely no idea what is being said here. Some of those words I recognize, but what are they referring to exactly?

 

Watch the original scarface, angels with dirty faces, or any other 1930's gangster movie. A gat is a gun, curtains for you means you're done, yella rat is well a yellow rat. You know what rats do? They squeal to the coppers see! Yellow meaning coward. Those movies are awesome. Where's my tommy gun  

 

There's another scarface movie? Who knew?

Here's wikipedia's info on gat. Not much about gangster guns. Mostly about old civil war era gatling guns.

So what does "nyaa" mean? It sounds like the noise a horse makes when you pull on the reigns.

 

This guy Wikipedia'd gat!  . Gat is slang for gun. Dude! James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart. Do yourself a favor and watch old gangster movies. Those guys were a different breed.

 

^^^I understood you perfectly. Must be an age gap thing or something.

 

Thank you. Top of the world ma! True classics

 

Bro you wiki'd gat? Yikes...90's rap used the word gat all the type, esp west coast rap. And "nyaa" is a sound that "weasel" type gangsters would say in the classic prohibition mob films.

 

Remember Tupac or Bishop, in the movie Juice?! He gets so pumped watching that scene..."Top of the World Ma!!!!" James Cagney was a G

 

Lol, yes, I google'd gat. How exactly do people here learn about new things? 90's rap and 30's gangster movies. What are you guys talking about? Weasel characters? I think this is the most epic derailing of a thread ever. These topics couldn't be more bizarre. So am I understanding that gr1mlock was rapping earlier like a 30's gangster? I don't think I could picture Cagney flailing his arms around with a doo rag on his head.

 

So if Mercenary is Humphrey Bogart, then would Spotter be Larry, Moe and Curly?

 

Lol botfan, no offense brah. I'm just being a D Bag...Tron.
