FOMO. Also, might no longer be applicable but around 2002 at Orchard Road, Not all Car Robots/RID were available at then viable TRUs. Had to get them in specialty shops when I was assigned for EMT International Training.
The American perspective: FOMO plays a factor, but it’s also because options to buy previous Walgreens exclusives have been so scarce here. Ratchet and Bluestreak, I got through Walgreens - I don’t recall any other outlet that had solicited them officially. Red Alert, I got through Pulse, because he was only a Walgreens exclusive in theory, not in practice - he may as well have been a mail-away that you save UPCs and send away for.
Please no. If he’s made from Minerva, he’ll look VERY feminine and they’ll most likely make him a female to match, causing him to become a waste of an update, similar to Velocitron Road Rocket.
So what exactly happened was. I rung her up and it error and had to wait for a associate. He came over and scanned her again and typed the upc on the checkout but it didn't work. He then just looked up the upc in his device and he said it came up and it was just the Hasbro logo and was about to scan that for normal deluxe price.
Road Rocket is fine and doesn’t look feminine at all. You can still use male pronouns for Road Rocket as your personal canon and not see a female mold.
Maybe, but seeing how we already got Elita from the mold, that might be enough reuses and they'll do Nightbeat from something else later on.
im australian. we dont have any semblance of walgreens over here so unless someplace like zing/ebgames or JB HI-FI gets here i'm screwed
I just hope we can get a unique Nightbeat with a proper Minerva retool/repaint and a unique Siren repainted into Goshooter. A new Hosehead could be retooled into a Pyro (as demonstrated by Fans Hobby) too.
Relatable. I wouldn't be a fan if they made Nightbeat a female either. With Road Rocket I GUESS it's understandable because Road Rocket's not had the most media appearances, but Nightbeat's had a much more storied past in media, backstory and all, so it'd be a bit too odd a move to just say "Well Nightbeat's female now!". Though to be honest I'd be more upset if they didn't make Nightbeat a headmaster.
I don't doubt that they could mess with her proportions to make the mold more masculine. Pretty sure it's happened with other figures before?
