    Are we sure he's a Decepticon?

    Could use more faction symbols.

    Not enough Decepticon badges.

    How I am supposed to tell his faction? :confused: 

    Ok, jokes aside. That's a pretty mini. But I suppose it's Takara only? Hasbro has no plans of doing Runamuck and Runabout?


    Also, I think this mold after some small retooling could work for Throttlebots.

    So glad I have this guy on order. I love the way it looks and hope there's a Runamuck in the cards too.

    I could do without the big circle sticker, though. Hoping that will peel off easily.

    Haywired - I remember reading somewhere that Blackjack was originally going to be Runabout, but they changed up the colors for one reason or another. Dunno if they're planning to do them at some point, but I'm hoping at least Takara will. I'd love to have these guys in a less expensive fashion than the TFCC figs.

    From the TF:Adventure figures I have so far, I'd say peeling easily is a safe bet. He will look much nicer without it.

    I normally would have taken off the round sticker, but in Runabout's case, I think I'll leave it on.

    I hate those insignias on Generations/TT Legends figures. The Hasbro ones fit the RID Figures, but those Takara ones look nasty.
    Did anyone notice how most of the Takara fans are not reacting negatively to the badges, but hate the RID figures because they come with nearly identical badges? Now, I'm just sayin'...

    Powerglide and the Insecticons have remolded spots for the stickers. I hope this guy doesn't have it...

    I wonder if they will show up in the cartoon.

    Btw, are Runabout and Runamuck actually brothers? I thought they were just partners.

    Takara's insistence of using those godawful stickers absolutely destroyed what could have been a fantastic figure.

    I swear that for every good combiner they make they have to ruin yet another mould.

    *Sigh* Guess I'm going to have to end up buying some Tak figures after all. Too bad that Grand Scourge figure was absolutely ridiculously priced because I assume this guy will plug into his chest just like Rodimus/Blackjack do on Prime/Motormaster? Would maybe pick up some extra limbs to put something together.

    **EDIT**
    Seriously what's with that giant sticker on his windshield? They need to cut that garbage out. I understand they're trying to push their mobile app but honestly how many people are even using that junk out of all the people buying the figures? I know I'm not.

    idunno, it looks like his pelvis could still be an Autobot (probably the weirdest thing I'll type today).

    Early pictures didn't show a sticker, so I'm hoping not... but I don't think early Takara pictures of Powerglide did, either.

    My cosmos didn't. And his peeled off pretty easily. Just use a hair dryer to warm up the sticker a little. Peels right off...
