    I would love for both Quake and Needlenose to get proper unique molding re-dos at some point. All of the Decepticon Targetmasters are amongst my favorite G1 toys.

    I also never said anything about popularity. I said Spinister was a beloved and cool character.
    Obviously less deserving things are always more popular than real creativity.
    But seeing how Spinister proved a better leader in Marvel than Optimus, Megatron and Starscream put together and during that time got more character development than guys who are most memorable for being remote controlled by Chip Chase and surviving Unicron I'd say he is a pretty bad target for pointless troll remarks questioning him being a "character".

    Wasn\'t going to cancel preorder.

    Still not going to cancel preorder. I think he\'s gorgeous. SO FABULOUS. Don\'t mind his gaps too much eat her, will reassess in hand though. Definitely need to fill the one under the helicopter tail though, it\'s going to sorely vex me

    RIGHT! That run is one of the best comics reads since...well. SHIT. Since EVER. I didn't even get into it until about 1 year ago. I ended buying all the trades and read them in a couple of months. I simply couldn't stop. MTMTE and Lost Light pulled me back into TF comics and comics in general. I've yet to find a comic I enjoy so thoroughly. James Roberts fan for life.

    Scatman Crothers. That cat brought Jazz to life so effortlessly it transcends the need for an explanation. Yet here we are.

    Why do you feel the need to be so condescending and incredibly rude?

    Spinister was in Marvel G1 Matrix Quest before IDW. It wasn't much, but he, Needlenose and Ruckus still had more exposure than quite a few other Cons in this run. I don't need MTME to want this toy. I wanted those characters since the Marvel's run.

    OK guys, a not-so-friendly reminder to stay on topic and stop all personal arguments.

    THANKS.

    Despite growing up with Marvel UK I didnt stick with the whole run, so it was the IDW run that made me notice Spinister. There's sufficient Milne design cues here to pique my interest, and I'm glad he's a tall Deluxe (ideally I'd want him short Voyager, like the Seekers, but not bad overall).

    Not racing to buy it, but will try and grab him at retail...

    He was meant to be an autistic savant, but this really wasn't made very clear in any of the dialogue, more so from the "previously" style sections. The dialogue consistently described him as stupid.

    WHOOPS!
    Don't know what I was actually trying to type... Maybe 'either' :oops: o_O 

    Stupid autocorret. Mixed with bad spelling.

    Yeah, I think it was supposed to be "either". I couldn't not make a joke out of it though. :)

    Personally, I’m fine with the colours, but the prototype seen at nycc (or something similar) was a lot more muted and weathered-looking, despite there being no silver paint blotches. So they actively chose to make the final release look more “SUPER DEFORM ROBODIVORCE”
