    My daughter's way overdue standardized test scores for science and math came in the mail today, and she got the highest aggregate score on both. My wife said that we had to do something for her to which I said that I had an idea.

    I showed my daughter Nightbird, half expecting her to not care, since she looks so much like most of the other Fembots she already has. However, I did sell the ninja aspect pretty hard. She said that it was cool and that she wanted it, so the gateway drug continues to work.

    I'm just hoping we get some more variety in our Fembots before her interest wanes. Right now her collection is the union of Generations Fembots and Bumblebee Studio Series, so it appears to be headed for slim pickings after Lancer, pending new line announcements at NYCC and/or elsewhere.

    Selects Nightbird, Zetar, Smokescreen, and a Mystery Figure Are now staring to ship out of Vietnam. The Mystery Figure can easily be Cromar (Power dasher Jet type) or Hotshot.

    shipping manifest
    Ge Vietnam, Hai Duong, Vietnam | Supplier Report — Panjiva
    The only info we have on the Mystery figure is it's Hasbro Product number :E8379 and that nothing that has been "officially" revealed has that product number. The manifest list no quantity or identity of the figure that I could find, just "Generations selects action figure" and Hasbro product number. It easily could just be Like I said Hotshot or Cromar.

    EDIT- Cromar is Not the Mystery figure leaving Hotshot as the last possible Suspect.

    Okay, having gotten and messed with Siege Chromia, I'm looking forward to this mold as someone else. She was pretty good but had the specter of her Generations version looming over her head, which isn't fair because I found every iteration of that toy's lineage fantastic. All Nightbird had is the one based off Arcee, who I never owned.

    Zetar I never owned, but took an immediate liking to his appearance.

    Asked a friend to preorder Zetar for me. Just hope having it won't make me desire the other powerdashers.

    If I had my way, the three Powerdashers would have come in a box set together instead of individually or with others.

    I simply adore Zetar! His drill head makes it look like he's wearing a dunce cap, which I get a huge kick out of.
