    @Fenrys – very pleasantly surprised this came in at $37, not $40!

    Grabbed Artfire from TCP.
    I know we have Ricochet, but now I want "Stepper" to go with Artfire.

    Same, granted I didn't expect anything else, but still nice to see that they kept it where it should be price wise.

    I was talking about a Hauler custom, but that's a good plan, lol.

    Hi, I'm nobody. Don't care much for Grapple or Inferno but I love rare and obscure repaints like Artfire and Road Hauler.

    In the past I've, mostly jokingly, made fun of the way some people seem to love Artfire despite him barely being a character and not even being one of the interesting Z-listers, nothing about him stands out to me the way other barely-used characters like, say, Torca or Aquafend do, but somehow Selects Artfire here has, sort of, won me over.
    Basically it's the first time I've seen a version of him and thought "heyyy, that's pretty good!", haha.

    I think we'll see Jackpot before we see Stepper.

    I heard UK import taxes are pretty high, maybe time to vote out the high tax politicians.

    This is a great looking set. I love the red face on the little Targetmaster. I always wanted to have a version of Artfire.

    track down United Stepper, it seriously has one of if not the best paint jobs to ever grace a transformer
    (and IMHO is pretty the best deluxe mold of all time.)

    I think so too, based on the existing GDC Jackpot listing on amazon.au, and no listings yet found for Stepper.

    Yeah I get it. I'm hoping we will see him in idw2 at some point. Give him sone more exposure.

    The mold itself is very good. I have both grapple and Inferno and have grapple currently on my bedside locker beside a Quintesson. I've nemesis and cyclonus behind them. It's an odd combo but it works.

    I've noticed that most characters have at least one or two other characters associated with them so no reason why we can't get an updated stepper for Artfire too. I do have the selects stepper or ricochet if you prefer so I can put him with Artfire.
