    All the seekers should be released at the same time, anyway, hopefully we get the other colors, like acid storm, sun storm,etc.

    Based on the animation it was thundercracker who became scourge and bombshell becomes Cyclonus because that’s who was in the foreground when each was named, so Skywarp wouldn’t have become scourge

    I really hope this is not some walmart or Amazon exclusive and Kapowtoys will carry it...
    Wow, Fracas??? So we now have a targetmaster for Scourge! I do wonder what Shrute stands for... or what that word even means.

    Dude, we only have 3 molds of them, and one is single barrelled - Blowpipe/Caliburst. The other two are based on targetmasters who were double barrelled in G1 too, Firebolt and Aimless.

    It’s a reference to Dwight schrute from the office for having a similar personality to hairsplitter. Funpub was unable to secure the trademark for hairsplitter so they named him shrute for the tfss release of spinister

    Oh for a second there you made me worry Funpub is releasing them... Funpub died with TFCC, thankfully.
    That's a weird color scheme for Hairsplitter, if it's meant to be him. I wish the limbs were purple and the body grey, then. Would make the weapon purple as it should be...
    So does this mean that the guy released with Sideswipe then is meant to be Nightstick to go with Cyclonus?

    No trenchfoot shares his colors with pinpointed, peacemaker and spoilsport being red and black so he’s likely colored to fit in with them

    The insecticons are the sweeps, Thundercracker and Skywalker become Cyclonus and Scourge. Like Rumble is Blue and Frenzy is red and black.

    Then why was bombshell in the foreground becoming Cyclonus?

    Okay I just checked... I only remembered the black color. Well, here is hoping the next WFC line will have the autobot targetmasters then.
    I had to look up whether you meant Dwight Schultz instead... never heard of Dwight Schrute. Oddly, that word does not mean anything in german either...

    I was thinking the same thing. I’m looking forward to him getting one.

    And annoyed that it wasn’t Thundercracker instead. I want those Targetmasters but I’m only getting TC and Redwing from this mould.

    Just be careful when putting in that toy plumbing. If it gets clogged you have to snake it out with a Fright Zone hand puppet:

    Because Bombshell is an asshole.

    That's what you're concerned about? I'm more interested if it was Luke or Anakin who became Scourge :D  :D 

    Seriously though, I maintain that Unicron moved them as he reformatted, I base this solely on the fact that Armada promptly buggered off leaving the fighting to others. Sounds more like an insecticon than a seeker.

    @tigatron2002, animation error. No way a side character, becomes a fearless seasoned veteran bad ass. Plus, Bombshell was not loyal and tried to take over, forgot the name of that episode.

    If I get the set the targetmasters go with their respective owner. Meaning TR Scourge gets his gun. Don't think it is a big problem. Problem is shelf space.

    I’m in the Skywarp is Cyclonus camp. Unicorn was probably just introducing them right to left. :)

    Yeah. Old argument. Here's the storyboard:

    [​IMG]

    Only guy in the shot is Bombshell. Then "Cyclonus" is formed. I'd like it to be Skywarp too, and there's a lot of subsequent stuff that suggests he is in other iterations/continuity, but the storyboards really show only Bombshell turning into Cyclonus in the movie.

    Headcanon whatever you want, though. Transformers has so many damn holes in it, I could probably make an argument that Hello Kitty was turned into Scourge.

    Yeah lets go by animation! If you look at the battle of Autobot city youll see Ironhide flying by when the decepticons are attacking the city. Also Cyclonus and his armada... Well the 1 extra Cyclonus is never seen again after that scene.
    When Magnus actually takea out the matrix rather than put it in his chest.
    You understand? There is loads of animation errors. And still I love the show and its movie. Yet I put little weight on what they animated.
