    Or he could name them after the 3 Battlemasters that are in this set, which would make him Skywarp.

    Fracas, the destructive kitten
    Hairsplitter, Fracas's angry brother that lashes out at people
    Terror-Daxtyl, the hyperactive nutcase that won't stop running around the house

    Tried that already.
    Ordered months ago, order delayed, order delayed, backordered, cancelled.
    Not my first choice anyway. Because even if it had shipped, it'd probably have been put in an envelope!

    Well when I ordered two weeks ago it was a September ship date then switched to last week and yes it came in a envelope but I don’t keep the boxes so the trash it went. But you should just preorder it and see what happens

    Am I missing something, why does Fracas not match the back box art?

    Hasbro really cheaped out on the targetmasters....

    The box art is CGI. Heck, the Terror-Dactyl appears to have a chrome head in the art.

    Got my box set today after ordering it the day it went up. I usually get stuff pretty early from Amazon since most of the time it originates from the east coast, but this time they came from Fort Worth, Texas.
    Not complaining since it arrived when it was scheduled to, so all's good.

    Skywarp and company came today.

    Really looking forward to giving Spinister one of his targetmasters!

    So we essentially got a repacked Firedrive and they called it Fracas?

    The colors and paint apps are a bit different (white on firedrive and grey on fracas, plus different paint apps on the chest) but pretty much

    This set is overpriced by $10.

    Yoyager= $30
    Battlemaster= $6 (x3)
    $48 total
    Overpriced by $2. I chalk that up to the exclusivity and cool packaging.

    He’s a handsome lad! Can’t wait to get the other four (no interest in redwing)

    Rainmakers get here Friday and TC gets here Saturday!

    I’m still in shock at how much I adore this seeker mold.

    Skywarp came out easily for me,but the battlemasters were a nasty affair. I cracked a small peg on the bird dude's wing. :/ It still holds together, but ...I was trying to maintain the clam-shell in excellent condition, but that didn't work out because I mashed the heck out of that thing getting the other two guys out.

    So unless you want to pay like $75 for this I guess non-US fans are out of luck on this. I remember in the past RK would stock US retailer exlusive sets at msrp (but that was wayback before their shipping prices skyrocketed).

    What are the chances of Hasbro rereleasing the 3 original seekers as a set in animated colors without the battle damage down the line? I really hate the way the battle damage looks on Skywarp. He just looks dirty.

    Has anyone figured out the artist behind the Phantomstrike and Alphastrike packaging art?
