    In for Ricochet if a targetmaster is included and in for Swoop if it has a G1 toy-based head

    Fortunately for me I have both of the hasbro decos for universe nightstick so ricochet will already have his proper partner

    Richochet/Stepper sounds awesome, especially if he has a seige Battle Master repaint for his Targrtmaster.

    I totally forgot about that. I bet the original plan, before they truncated PotP, was for her to have a symmetrical combiner team.

    Yeah, I always thought it seemed likely. So, cool, El1ta Infinate is complete. These guys will probably cost a bit more than deluxe MSRP, though.

    he's priced comparably to the siege deluxes so he won't have a battlemaster

    They've not really gone near the Cylonus/Scouurge Targetmasters in recent years, since Nightstick was done with Cyclonus in Universe 2

    Cyclonus (2009) - Decepticon - www.tfu.info

    And it would be Nightstick you'd be wanting:

    Cyclonus (1987) - Decepticon Saboteur - www.tfu.info
    Nightstick (1987) - Decepticon| Nebulan - www.tfu.info
    Nebulon (1987) - Autobot - www.tfu.info
    Stepper (1987) - Autobot Multi-Shot Man - www.tfu.info

    Cyclonus had a CW version with no Targetmaster and while Scourge was redone in TR, his Legends version didn't have a Targetmaster and there wasn't one sold elsewhere (as per Blurr's turning up with Doublecross)

    I thought Red Swoop was just some prototype, but I was wrong. Also Ricochet? Odd choice...

    Till yesterday he only existed as a render! But when Blue Swoop was revealed a number of people were keen on getting the red one, me included - see sig!

    Both toys easy repaints of existing toys.

    Swoop's a doddle, just change the colour the chest is cast in. $$$ for next to no work.

    Ricochet is slightly more challenging, change the plastic, roof & face paint and tampographs

    I think there might be a bit more to Swoop then that, if I had to guess, Hasbro doesn’t think just a slightly altered Swoop will sell in the numbers they’d like, and they may be right. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a full on toy deco, including chrome or silver paint.
