When his teammates need something special built, they call SHAFTER. After a stunning defeat and exile from the Savage Land, SHAFTER was determined to redeem himself. Called on by STRONGHOLD to completely redesign all fortifications after the breakout of TOXIN and his companions, SHAFTER is hard at work making sure every possible hole is plugged tight. His small size allows him to access many areas others can’t, but belies a strength that allows him to accomplish even the hardest jobs. SHAFTER’s mastery of civil engineering allows him to construct a solution from the ground up, drawing inspiration from the monuments of his home world and the wonders he’s found on Earth. SHAFTER’s abilities at design aren’t just limited to blueprints, either, and his cunning strategies have turned defeat into victory numerous times. Even with all his defensive skills, SHAFTER is no stranger to the front lines. SHAFTER is durable enough for the most toughest jobsite, and can shrug off enemy fire while “giving as good as he gets” with his powerful hydraulic arms or his induction rivet-guns. SHAFTER intends to make sure that the next enemy spy looking for trouble finds a lot more than they bargain for, and to prove once and for all that great things can come from small packages.

In case anyone was worried about the lack of continuing Erector jokes, I just read the full bio for Shafter in the TFcon program. His function is "Hard Worker" His Motto is "Make it big, make it strong, make it last!"
Sadly his tech spec meter reads his END as a mere "2'. (actually they copied the tech spec numbers from Stronghold, who was also a 2 END).

If anyone needs help obtaining Shafter, feel free to PM me.
Tiller
I would love for that to happen, but I think the price is going to stay up there. I definitely want this guy for the sheer absurdity that it is Erector.
Shatterpoint
Nice, can't wait to wait 2 years for it's price to go down to $20.
