Add Shafter to the list with Erector, Windbreaker, Arcee, Slag, Spastic, etc...

Awesome Welles

I don't think I want Shafter in my room after dark...

Sharktibolt

So a repaint of the Igear Huffer figure? Alright, I like it. I'm not big on third party stuff, but I feel like I need to get the exclusive figure since I'm going.

Robimus

I can't wait to see the color scheme for this guy. The IGear mold I have(Spray)is really cool and I'm sure this one will be aweseom as well..

daimchoc

A 3-4 inch "Shafter"....

Jonny Napalm

Genius.

unicronsupreme

What's wrong/offensive about Arcee?

Crystal Convoy

Shafter? Sold.

BScorpinok75

Interesting! Wonder what the color scheme is?

Shafter, Impactor, and Erector COMBINE to form Pervo-pede!

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

brr-icy

will be getting this for sure, awesome homage

Scaleface

So Shatter is not-Pipes?

Saundowaivu

If it is who we think it is then that means its a:

"Erector" homage named "Shafter" repainted from "Rager"

TRIPLE LAYER PENIS JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE!!!

Batman

This will be mine.

Ah okay, it was the spelling that threw me off!

^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.

Rodimus Mike

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.

To answer your question BScorpinok the first one the color will be flesh color,then the repaint will solid black and renamed Dark Shafter,whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa just kidding.

WoundSave

Shafter for HOF 2013!

TedimusPrime

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

gothsaurus

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.

Nemesis251

Yellow=Erector
Black=Shaft

Its a win either way for me. Now somebody needs to find some pics.

LCDR Blindside

Shafter? I hardly knew 'er.

Anti Spark

Stupid and not funny.

This my friends, is why TFCON is so much better than botcon!

Shafter! He's A Bad Mother, Shut Your Mouth!

Yeah, but Arcee isn't pronounced like that? Maybe if her name was Arci, but that's still a stretch and not as gloriously inappropriate a name as something like Slag

Big Filipino

Can't wait to see this.

Optimist_Prime

I really hope that this repaint of a $15 toy is worth the $40 I just slammed down.

Protoman

Are you all hard yet?

See you there!

Acteon

Honestly that line about Shafter making sure that spies get more than they bargained for is hilarious. What were they smoking when they thought this up?

Deefuzz

Sounds like you guys are just trying to get me to come up to Toronto this year!
