    It would be cool if this leads to more 3.75" human figures from Transformers.

    As a Joe aficionado, I love this, however it is getting a lukewarm response over on one of the Joe boards. Partially due to the obscurity, although Joe club members who regularly attend conventions know the link. The second factor is that the Retaliation bikes were not well received to begin with because the riders that came with them had reduced articulation.
    I imagine just like anything else by Fun Pub, it will be available to nonmembers for a higher price. I am ok with that, I am not a Transformer Club member (a casual fan) but I do want this.

    I think there's a missed opportunity here with the Human Alliance figures, but oh well.

    More power to those who like it, but it's not my cup of tea so i'll be passing.

    Why not this set up

    Kicker was not that bad a figure he just needed some new wheels. They could make this work.

    Thats no good. Marissa can't ride that. Give her a Transformer that she can actually ride. Oh, none exists? Afterburner is just an accessory then for her to ride.

    figures this happens after I just finished selling most of my sdcc sets. Now do I keep trying to sell my HISS tank shockwave or not? Hmmmm...

    got a pic if this?

    scale doesn't matter to some of us. Plus some of us love action masters and pretender shells.

    yes! This for sure! I'd love more TF humans and whatnot in GIJoe or Marvel Universe.

    agreed

    I know you're joking, but I love kicker. They're totally going next to each other.

    absolutely. I want her, but not the vehicle at all. Hopefully I can sell it easily if I get this piece.

    yes!!! Fuck scale, this is awesome.

    Figures it would just be a GI joe figure on a ROC Motocycle.

    looks like she'll just be a repaint of Scarlet more than likely with a new head.

    That afterburner digibash from Chromi is pretty cool and it would be a neat twist to see a fembot Technobot.

    uh... I can give you TWO reasons:

    One: cause she's the daughter of Flint and Lady Jane?

    and FYI this Afterburner here DOES not transform and is based on a G1 Joe styled vehicle.

    Is her parentage really that relevant? Marissa has only ever appeared in Transformers fiction. Plenty of Joe fans probably don't even know who she is.
