    That's pretty obscure, but it works.

    Huh. Wasn't expecting the Cyclonus mold. But it works. Still loving the Starseeker factions on the figures too.

    This is what I like to see from Botcon exclusive sets. Obscure cool redecos not something that should have been a wide release like the seeker set from a few years ago

    Cool. I'd been wondering if any Squadron X members might show up as a Fun Pub release.

    (I take it Tornado is the Targetmaster? Should it be bluer then?)

    I wonder if this means a Macabre release from Scourge could happen.

    Works well! One of the few characters that the Cyclonus mold could really be used for, and definitely the sort of obscure thing that is well-suited to convention items. Plus it has the "two characters in one" bang for your buck that a Targetmaster provides.

    I'm liking the red face. I'm a sucker for any Transformer than has a face colored something other than metallic silver.

    Jetfire called. He wants his color scheme back.

    Actually, it looks pretty good. Not thrilled with his red face though, but it's okay.

    I quite like it. Interesting deco, and on a decent mold too. I'll have fun with him for sure.

    I dig it. Scourge would have had a more appropriate vehicle mold, but oh well. The head works well, any other Squadron X member would have required a new one. Guess the Scourge mold with a new head might still show up as Macabre, but I think Black Shadow's would work just as well.

    Nightstick isn't really ideal for a formerly full-size Cybertronian, I probably would have just made it one of Cannonball's organic crewmembers in Targetmaster armor.
