    Airazor is the best Kingdom Deluxe, even above anything G1 released in that line despite of favoritism.

    The artist did say that Override was one of the few that he didn't have a reference for and just used the cartoon model. As for the rest it probably comes down to having the reference (Knockout or Dragstrip) or just deducing the easy repaints/retools (Hauler), while the others where their own designs or based on old ones (Breakdown and Ricochet).
    As I don't think the Thunderclash was based on Legacy Motormaster.

    Autostringer and Autocrusher might be too similar to their G2 equivalents Road Block and Dirtbag for them to bother making both, but Sgt Hound and General Optimus would definitely be fun.

    As nice as things like big Breakdown and Armada Sideways would be, I was talking about using the comic as a way to preview things confirmed to be coming. Don't think Thunderclash is a reflection of an incoming toy just as I don't think we will be seeing an Aileron. Probably just a holdover. That being said, the shins and feet do remind me a lot of the consistently pimped out Siege shin area although I'm not positive.

    I've got nothing against a G2 Sgt Hound as long as we get an Earthmode Hound.

    Given Thunderblast is pretty much the dictionary definition of a shellformer, they could just easily retool the Arcee/Elita mold to make it accurate to the original, lol.

    At the risk of pissing people off, I just want a new Thunderblast that 1) isn't a shellformer, and b) isn't only a boat. Hovercraft? Sure. Helicopter that turns into a sub? Sure. Submarine that can be a spaceship? Sure. A car that turns into a mini-sub for which Hasbro already owns the IP? Yes, please.

    A Thunderblast that turns only into a boat? Please, no.

    Edit: I mean if that's how the cookies crumble, I won't whine about it and I'll be happy for those who got the "accurate" Thunderblast they wanted. But if had a vote...

    Seeing this Override/Nitro Convoy figure, I have full confidence in HASBRO for more faithful UT revamps in the future.
