    Agreed. We have Red Alert, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, P/CP, and now this. It is too much. Couldn't they have done something using the Hound mold (G2 Swindle?). At least it hasn't been repainted yet.

    I love the mold and welcome more additions to it. :)

    It's a good mold, this will look good with Drag Strip, even though the colors are G2. Breakdown had a mission in Miami or something and he got a repaint.

    I believe its a reference to the Action Master G2 Breakdown.
    BC - Botcon
    FW - Fort Wayne
    94 - 1994

    The toy of that year? G2 Breakdown.

    As for the toy itself, I really like this. Not enough to buy it at exclusive prices, but to admire from afar.
    Im really glad they went for something different this year, instead of more uninspired, soulless G1 Fanwanking.

    Is that supposed to be a typo of the 90's, because that's when G2 was. If you hated the 80's, that would mean you hated G1 :p

    Umm...isn't TFW not supposed to link to anything that belong to KOtoys?
    Oh well. =p
    G2 was just before my time, so this doesn't really hit me.

    He's great. He looks like he should be tearin' ass around the cover of my Trapper-Keeper. If you don't know what I mean, you don't get the allure of the toy anyway.

    His color scheme reminds me of my the cover to my copy of Sirens of Titan. I'm still waiting on seeing Clench to see if I want this set or not though I'm leaning towards just buying clench separately.

    Definitely one of the better figures we've seen for botcon this year. Blows Streetstar or whatever out of the water.

    Action Master Breakdown was BotCon 2004. 1994's toy was a regular G2 Breakdown. (That is, the otherwise-unreleased combiner limb redeco.)

    If I had a choice of any G2 figure from this year's Botcon, it would be that guy as of the present. It's the only figure that really looks appealing this year; everybody else just looks to clashy for my tastes (especialy Pyro, who looks like an LSD trip).

    Still waiting to see G2 Skybite, though.

    Perish the thought that something not from the 80's get some attention.

    Yes, because nothing that isn't from the 80's ever gets any attention ever.
