Looks great, really excited to get him later in the month

 

Aw man, that looks great.

 

My all time fav! So excited to have a proper trio of these characters!

 

I saw the post on Cyberposting FB group where you called it "mediocre" and I agree- I just don't like Shrapnel too. There's something that feels off about him.
But I hope they do Bombshell better...

 

To be fair, I like him more than kickback because its not just a guy lying down.

Its not saying much but yeah, its a real transformer, he does the job fine well enough. My big issue is that he just turns into a block with pointy bits and he's got a really weird mold layout (head, front of the torso and lower thighs are in the wrong color so they painted it over) but that's G1 insecticons for you.

 

For me my big issue would be how wide his torso looks- I mean the proportions look pretty off. I rather they have the torso be done similar to that old Legends Class figure, honestly.

I agree he's better than Kickback though.

 

It's the torso what off about him. Little too wide.

 

Wonder if Bombshell will be changed to Hardshell

 

Bro got those Nitro Convoy torso fr

Trying to show (poorly) how the toes stick out like the OG toy/ toon model

 

Doubt it since they can use Bombshell now.

 

They called him Bombshell in Earthspark. So I assume the name is good for them to use now.

 

I like that his bug legs come out from under his bot mode back.

Up until now, I thought those purple guns were supposed to be his legs, so I'm happy to see they're not.

 

I recognize that Mohawk. Wheres it from?

 

That is a very purple backside. Quite neat I say

 

Remind me to get kickback before I regret it. I like how Shrapnel looks though can't wait to have him in hand.

 

Seems solid, again, a better attempt at representing the Insecticons than Kickback.

Still, is a G1 Insecticon so I don't care too much.

 

Transarts.

He is available through the warehouse sale so he’s available to get for less than retail.
