    Aaaand now I'm sad thinking we won't ever see her again... on the other note, maybe we'll at least get an Iron Factory figure in the future?

    I'll admit, Windblade in that outfit does look interesting, even Chromia. Damn, now I'm kinda hoping someone does make those costumes for the sheer fun of it.

    While I'm sure they'll go back to the classic G1 characters for the start of the reboot, I'll be incredibly disappointed if we lose all of the IDW characters. While it's had it's low points like any franchise, the IDW has been one of the richest offerings in terms of characters in all of Transformers, it'll be a colossal shame if they're lost to time without receiving figures.

    Even if Nautica does show up again, slim to none chance she'll be the same character from IDW. Look at every Windblade incarnation.

    I'm thinking I'm going to be searching Shapeways for a good Classics themed Strongarm head. My intention is to get SG Soundwave from the Invasion Botcon set and customize from there.

    Oh! No. Fishnets on thighs; the shins are "boots". Same way her arms can be bare but her forearm kibble can be cuffs.

    You know, I may try this...

    You know, I have a really hard time remembering Nightracer isn't an actual TF but a custom. I've had mine for far too long that she's just a part of my collection.

    Also, this kind of stuff cracks me up so much. I love it. XD

    Sounds like a good idea. Although it could be hard with the nature of the universe ironhide head. Also that’ll probably cost you a fair bit. Good luck though. Show it here when you’re there!

    Oh yeah that’d work much better. This should seriously be a convention exclusive. Do the deceptigirls as well. It wouldn’t be the least uproarish thing hasbro has done.

    If it rips a little that's okay. It'll give her a classic punk girl look.

    you may want to get the MMC version. I got her about a year ago and she isn't that great. Very blocky, not great articulation, riddled with a gimmick. Also, her mold was originally intended to be a dude, so she lacks any feminine charm

    I know.

    1. I want the Speed Planet Key so I can complete my Omega Lock... It doesn't really do anything I'm just tired of looking at this empty chunk of Plastic and want the Cyber Planet Keys for it.

    2. I collected the entire Armada toy line... I know they're basically glorified bricks but I like some of a gimmicks anyway... it's weird...

    3. And yes I know about Nitro Convoy... however oddly she looks more female than Dinobot Slash or Beast Machines Strika. She's a bit more slender than most other bots though that might have been because she was built for speed, but then there's also this paint work on the chest that looks like clevage despite not actually having boobs... and I have no idea what that would be doing there on the male version. Honestly she doesn't look much like a dude other than not having molded boobs.

    Looking at that picture, and remembering how I said I wouldn't get Chromia because she was a TFP mold, I'm SO glad I stuck to my guns, especially with that lovely new one coming in Siege.

    Isn't Solus Prime supposed to be female?

    Not sure how well she works with Slash.
