Well at least Doublecrosser's parents were thoughtful either give him a plastic barrier for protection or kite cape to entertain themselves.



But would hate to be that guy teaching him how to drive.

 

I didn’t even notice that pun until you pointed it out. Well played, Hasbro.

 

thats a big prime gun.

But, the thing is, G1 Sunstreaker did NOT have a gun. He only had his shoulder mounted rocket launchers and the silver missiles for his hands. While in the cartoon he sometimes had a gun, it was not always and it varied from episode to episode. Even his model sheet has no gun.

LOL that looks super silly. His head is huge, like the toy is superdeformed

 

I have yet to get any of the Earthrise weapons yet. I like this guy , reminds me of a certain pretender I know  

 

Are you guys gonna use the normal null rays on the coneheads or get some 3rd party ones?
Ive been so used to the coneheads having different arm cannons that the normal null rays look weird to me on them

 

Heh, I remember I used the english-hungarian dictionary to translate the bios on my Micromasters. As that was not as good as actually speaking english, I actually misunderstood the Construction Patrol's bio in saying they can combine... and I tried long and hard to combine them as a kid, figuring hey, if the Constructicons can combine, surely they can too!  

As strange of an advice it is... make friends. I have a friend who for a decade or more has helped me pick up USA exclusive stuff. I ship to his address and a few times per year, he ships me all the accumulated stuff in boxes. If I did not have his help, I'd have to pay exorbitant prices for ebay scalpers, or webshops.

Now if only he had a crosswalk (what we call zebra in hungarian) painted on it...  

 

Sound advice in theory but I don't think we've got anything in the UK that anyone in the states would want!  

 

I been particular about that myself for the Henkei ones - well, at least Ramjet there had those, and I like the way Masterpiece resolved those using the "capsules" you put over the null rays. But to be honest, in robot mode the coneheads always had the same null rays as the seekers, in both G1 toon and comic, so I frankly don't mind, as I will be mostly displaying them in robot mode.
What does bother me a bit is the black instead of grey on Dirge. I liked that in the toon only Ramjet was black, the other two were grey. But to be honest, I can live with that, the mold is just so much better than the old deluxes (which I intend to sell).

I started with trading with him, then we just exhanged a lot of emails. And he was very nice enough to help me out ever since - even offering help for some of my hungarian friends. I guess I am just lucky? I had another friend in the USA before who helped me like that, got to know him after I sold him a G1 Overlord, but he kinda dropped out of collecting a decade ago.
But yeah, your comment reminded me how we don't have any EU exclusives anymore these days. I remember when I traded for Robot Heroes Predaking or RvtS Windcharger, who were pretty common around here but not released in the USA. The last such toys I can recall were the Beast Hunters upscaled-from-Legends Deluxe and Voyager figures, and some of the Construct-A-Bots. I bought those in bulk from local webshops and sold them to a seller in the USA for his webshop.

 

Who is Crossguard?

News to me, very interesting.

 

Early working name for Doublecrosser.

 

Result. All Rampmaster case.

I thought these were 8s rather than 6s?

A quick peak on EE shows a 12 for w2

That photo has some weird perspective on it. He doesn't look bad to me at all in person.

 

Honestly kinda surprised Doublecrosser isn't a merc. If I find one he's absolutely pairing with Doubledealer.

 

Yeah, i wonder why they decided not to use that faction more so far, this guy definitely would've fit into it and his unusual esthetic (two bot heads) kind of fits double dealers too

 

I wonder if Hasbro would have the guts to make an exclusive retail pack featuring just these types of ramp-bots...

minimal transformations around, but would be a boon to those who love their city-making dioramas...

Tell me you didn't enjoy the bios and stats back in the days

 

Twinferno has become one of my favorite Transformer names. I totally support the change and vote that we all retroactively change the 80s to reflect this.

Doublecrosser can have this name. It’s fitting for both his bot and alt mode.

 

Eh, it’s a little to on the nose for me*, and I liked how Doublecross referred to his two brains not getting along... plus, with Inferno already being an Autobot...

*but also: still a great pun
