    Details look good. I really like the face. Love the cannon, it's a nice touch. A Nemesis verison will be nice too. :D

    Sold!:bowdown: 
    Hopefully it'll get past the pre-order stage, Hasbro should be hiring the artist to work for them. As in take a big fat hint of what could be made and sold in stores.

    Well, I believe the artist who's design it was (Guido?) said he likes it - but I don't know if he has the rights to the design or not.... Also does the design even feature in the story other than as a concept design?

    Well that's one point in their favour at least.

    This will go perfectly with ROTF Ransack.

    Seriously Hasbro, we need more stuff like this.

    This really is a great looking kit. And your right he would go great with Ransack.


    I would love it if there were to do more Period pieces like this. The G2 Ransack who turned into a Corsair was brilliant and still one of my favorites.

    I would love to see what they can do with a B19.

    nope HOS prime never actually used this form. it was only ever cover art if I recall

    But I do see Hasbro being very interested in this and not in the fun way. I as I recall the botcon talk about their being talk that if something was around $100 they would take a special interest as its their IP being used.

    I love it. Id be all over it, but 80 bucks is a little hard for me to dish out.
