    How do these guys attach to Blurr Rodimus Kup and Scourge in their Vehicle modes?

    There are pics under the Additional Images tab on any of the product pages on Captured Prey that illustrate, with printed prototypes, how they look and work with the figures.

    Rodimus - You can flip up the center of the back section. Or, word is that the new United Rodimus coming out soon actually has the engine remolded to take the Micron Targetmaster Takara just released for him. Which means Bolt Action would fit there too.

    Scourge & Kup - Attaches using the 3mm clip system.

    Blurr would take modification, since he has no readily available way to connect on the vehicle mode, but it would be simple to do.

    If Spinister is indeed true for BotCon, which seems highly likely, his set can use the existing 5mm peg holes in the hands and wings, and the 3mm clip points as well.

    they need to start releasin some classics Targetmasters/Headmasters. I guess they've put out most of the original Ark crew, so maybe the Steelhaven guys are next?
    It seems like they'd give us a Chromedome an Brainstorm by now.....They are in the comics finally so maybe not far behind.
    Anyways, damn I need a job , stuff is comin out faster than you can shake a stick at it

    The additional images on captured prey show one attached to Kup in vehicle mode. I'm assuming it's just the clip system on the roof of his truck right?

    You're right, it is attached...I'd forgotten that Kup has a pair of clip spots on the roof.

    Just wanted to say that the response on these has been GREAT! The regular set is selling very well, and the exclusives, both for Captured Prey and for BBTS, have sold through more than half the initially planned numbers. If you're interested in any of the exclusives, it may be best to order them, because while the production numbers can be increased, there's a limit to that!

    Also, just a reminder, the free bonus figure with purchase of the four-pack is also a limited offer. MasterShooter has only provided me with a specific number of those figures to give away.

    Oh, another idea, how about Targetmasters for Runabout and Runamuck done as Bevis and Butthead? They just seem to work for me.

    Bevis should shoot FIRE FIRE FIRE! His official name should be Cronhole-EO (are you threatening me?!)

    Butthead should be a brain-drain gun that makes people, like stupid and stuff.

    Or maybe a gun that is based on Quickswitch's gun mode.

    TFSource now have the 4pack as well as the Automated Robots and Deceptive Constructs, so I don't think they are BBTS Exclusives.

    Shooter Master - 4 Pack - Core Assortment Set of 4
    Shooter Master - 3 Pack - Animated Robots Set of 3
    Shooter Master - 3 Pack - Deceptive Constructs Set of 3

    They are exclusive to BBTS (I know, I handle the distibution for MasterShooter). What TFSource has done is purchase them through BBTS' Wholesale program (why Joel chose to offer his exclusive at wholesale that way, I don't know).

    And still more for the 4-pack. And no freebie. :wink:

    I see, I figured if they were exclusives TFSource would have gotten them from BBTS in the same way they got the BBTS Exclusive Piranacon. And about the 4pack, I do have mine pre-ordered with you :)  That price can't be beat especially with the freebie.

    BBTS did offer their Piranacon, after a while, the same way. So yep, you're right on that. Now, Piranacon took a lot of units to happen, no doubt, so that one doesn't mystify me. Based on what I know about the sales for their Master Shooter exclusives, I am left rather confused as to why they did that with them. But hey, if that means they order more units to fill that extra need, I'm sure MasterShooter Collectibles will be glad to let them handle it how they want to
