    The same reason we're getting Skyfall instead of Skyjack and Fearswoop instead of Hooligan, I'd imagine. The name probably wasn't available.

    If I aready had the Dropkick mold, I wouldn't need this set. But I don't so I need this set. Looks like I'll be breaking my "no repaints/retools" rule again since I'll be getting Sideways AND Dead end eventually now...

    Two things:

    1) Blowpipe

    -horrible name

    -great toy

    2) Sideways

    -Is there a box set out that doesn't involve Sideways?

    Cool Set Though. Really like Blowpipe, since I didn't get the 1st movie line Salvage/Dropkick. I think he's an awesome figure.

    Wanted to get the set, but there is Sideways, which I already have. So no get. Also, why does two sets in a row have Sideways?

    Well, at least the new figure I want is in a 2 pack and not a 3 or 4 pack. Only one spare fig instead of several.

    Can't quite make out that bio either. I gave it a go, but only 1/4th of it is readable.

    That two back would have been better if Dropkick was repainted into Trailbreaker.

    I am sick of people complaining about the name Blowpipe.
    I mean, tons of other names are worse. Bulkhead anyone? X]

    Aaaanywho, Blowpipe is too similar to Dropkick and I already have sideways.
    Easy pass.

    Blowpipe is the second Transformer I want because of the name, Big Daddy being the other.

    That, and because I have Salvage, the mold is pretty cool. :D 

    Ehhh...no.

    EDIT: They should've packaged him with Thrust, not Sideways. :p

    Not quite.

    There are indeed worse names, but Bulkhead isn't one of them.

    Aw geez, I feel dumb... I saw this guy at Botcon and only now, that you said that, did I make the connection to Pipes. Clearly he is intended as a sort of dual homage. Can't believe I didn't catch that before.

    Well, I was planning on getting him anyway, but if he is essentially Movie Pipes then that seals it. Pipes, Gears, Brawn.... the minibot faction of the movie line is growing. Here's to hoping for a few more.
