    Over here in the UK, 'Arsey' (adjective) roughly equates to 'pissy' or 'narky' - except a bit ruder 'cos it has 'arse' in it...

    ^This

    If this is indeed an Erector homage as it sounds like I will need to get one. Are the 3rd party TFcon exclusives usually hard to obtain after the con? I want it, but I'm not going to fly to Ontario for it.

    I honestly am not gonna even go there with the name,if any indication this figure will be so joked about and mocked that in 100 years from now they'll still be talking about it.
    I just hope his other team mates aren't named something worse like ramrod,and please no jokes about that either.I swear they can pick some off-the-wall names for figures these days.

    This is so obviously Erector. I think it's really funny. Then again I have the maturity of a 5 year old.

    Wow. Thinking about it, there could be a lot of appealing recolors of Huffer. Besides his actual G1 recolor/retools (Road Hauler and Pipes), a recolor as Erector or even in constructicon colors... I'd probably pick that up as well. Hmmmmmm.

    They did show a black repaint of that toy as a prototype a while back. Could be a Pipes homage too.

    I was assuming by the name Shafter, that it would be a take on the character Shaft, from the 1970's Shaft movies. Black detective, so i was assuming it'd just be a black repaint. I'm thinking the only similarities with erector will be in name only...

    Once again just a guess.
