Via TFND, we have a look at the newest addition to the Stunticons, Offroad. Offroad is explicitly referred to as being a new member of the team in his bio, and is sent on the missions the other Stunticons do not want to handle in order to win their trust. He’s a decent looking little robot who adds some rugged off road truck action to the Decepticon stunt team, and he has a wicked looking axe. Check him out, and look forward to our own gallery of this guy and all the other new Combiner Wars releases!

Uh, isn't that exactly what the G1 combiners were? 'Cause if I remember correctly, they were just a torso on cars/other vehicles. Not so different. Also, I don't see anything wrong with the figure. It looks pretty damn accurate, minus Off-Road, and is at a way better price point than 3rd party figures.

Then why are you even on this website dedicated to Transformers? Why are you calling us "so-called Transformers fans" when you are in fact on a website where virtually every member is a Transformers fan? You don't like that they aren't accurate enough to the cartoon? Tough shit! So there's a little something called a budget. Maybe you've heard of it? No? Look it up. If you want figures accurate to the cartoon, go and shell out $500 for a Devastator. We won't miss you.

Interesting….
Outside of Motormaster and DragStrip, the other stunticons are rocking the front of there cars on their backs. It may be because of the simplicity of their conversions, but I ain't hating.

He looks fantastic. I can't wait for wave 2 of CW to hit store shelves

I know it sounds stupid, but if they called him Wildrider, and painted him the appropriate colors, I'd go for it.

Nice to know I'm not alone in thinking that.

It´s a cool design, but I like sports cars too. I hope we get a Wildrider in any case. But I´m getting this guy too, I like the design.

There's that, plus I can see Knockout being the team's mechanic and i've always had the idea of the Stunticons being based on the 7 deadly sins, Knockout would be Pride.

the only actual problem i have with Offroad and Alpha Bravo is that they are new characters trying to be the characters they replaced.
i wish hasbro would have gone full blown new character mode and made offroad green or something and Alpha Bravo orange. cement the fact into people's brains that these are NEW characters and not slinshot and wildrider wanabees.
i have a sneaking suspicion that if this was the case people would hate them less. Im not saying there wouldn't still be the people shouting about the lack of wildrider and slingshot but they the two of them could stand on their own right without getting as much of the ridicule they do.
(and i think green would look really good on menasor.)

Personally I'd go with the Jr Targetmasters. Needlenose from Skydive, Quake from Rook, and Spinister from Alpha Bravo/Blades.

Well, one of his best friends is/was Breakdown (R.I.P.) so it's not impossible.
T-Hybrid
I'm guessing the peg on his truck bed is also there if they decide to make First Aid or Ironhide's topper a removable shield like they did Generations Trailbreaker's.
I'm hoping they make a Scourge/Sweep. Even if it's only one, it would give Army Builders an opportunity to build Galvatronus from Cyclonus and his fleet.

I've clicked WHY the fin bothers me: the hole that was on the back is obviously the weapons mount for Swindle's gun

I don't see Knock-Out, who is very concerned about his appearance, wanting to hang out with the Stunticons, much less be one of them.

I'd like a Triggercon trio for Cyclonus.
Ruckus repainted from Offroad, Crankcase repainted from First Aid and Windsweeper repainted from Air Raid or Skydive. The fourth limb would be Offroad with Wildrider rejoining the Stunticons.
Basilisk
That could work actually we'd have in total 9 Stunticons the 5 originals and the 3 newbies
I've always liked Blackjack I'm glad he joined the Stunticons, I'm liking hearing all this talk about redecoing Offroad into Crankcase although a Ruckus redeco would be most welcome too.

A few changes and this is the perfect mold for a deluxe Rodimus…
DVD
I only recently got Prime Knockout, but I totally agree. That alt mode is seeeexxxy! Maybe a repaint/remold of Dead End?
Also, I've been thinking about the Stunticons as some kind of cross between the cars from Fast and Furious and a motorcycle club/gang. Like Fast and Furious meets Sons of Anarchy. Motormaster is the leader, Breakdown/Dead End/Dragstrip are the established members, Off Road just got his cut and Blackjack is a prospect. Except instead of a biker club, they're cars, hence the F&F reference. Also, as far as characters go, I see Off Road and Blackjack bonding kinda since they're the newbies. Which, since I just got Blackjack, is really making me want Off Road asap!

OK, so I'm in a weird position here.
I really like this mold. The only things I dislike are the colours:
– the green face totally kills the bot mode for me,
– the grey is too close to Motormaster – it throws off the look of the gestalt.
Normally I'd sit it out and wait for the Takara version, but it looks likely that this guy will be replaced entirely…
Opposite world problems.
