    kinda disappointed, but also understanding of the fact that noone is doing a replacement blade for the sparkdrinker that can split in half.

    I feel like that sort of thing probably requires that whole end of the weapon to be replaced. Someone might be working on a whole new scoop section that had the splitting, cyber key compatibility, and maybe electronics too. Which is

    Show.Z has this up for preorder with a red version of Drill Bit as a bonus. TFWiki doesn't show Drill Bit as ever having been repainted. Does anyone know what this is based on?

    If TFwiki doesn't know then it's probably made up.

    From what I can find, it might be a reference to Armada drill bit.

    It's one of three things:
    Completely made up
    Obscure reference to a gobot or micromaster or something idk
    Red repaint to go with a metrotitan repaint that they for some reason expect to happen

    Our bullshit here probably doesn't affect Hasbro but man it would be funny if we impacted 3p releases

    That’s an homage to Clench. Remember, the Drillbit mold was a retool of Leader-1, who was repainted into Clench for the Powerlinx release.

    Whoa wait... ShowZ has an exclusive recolor? Assuming it's the same price, why would one NOT get it from here?

    I'm going to hold off on cancelling my TCP preorder in case the red dude isn't exclusive for now. due to using store credit on it... I just wish I knew who to actually ask to know what's up...

    I wonder how the hands would work with FortMax, since that would be a nice feature for me as I mostly want the MiniCon as well.

    i am not sure how the hands would work on plex. you would definitely need a 3d printed offset plug for the wrist. but even then they just might be too small and out of scale with the body. maybe it could work and good luck if you try it.
