    ... wait, do you really not know the difference between a Phase Sixer and a Six-Changer?

    I mean, no blame for not knowing what a Phase Sixer is. Lots of people don't read IDW and that's fine. But thinking it's synonymous with a Six-Changer is odd.

    You are acting trigger happy, and a bit nuts to be honest.

    This is what I could provide with on how they're similar but I could be wrong Phase Sixer - Transformers Wiki Six Changer - Transformers Wiki

    They're not the same. Just six shot correlates the two.
    But I'm most looking forward to black shadow, though we really need a blue bacchus as well.

    Not completely out there to equate Phase Sixer and six phases.

    I had no clue prior to encountering the term; luckily enough I always just google anything TF related I come across :wink:

    I'll have you know that I'm trying to not be hostile. Its very hard for me but I managed to do it. So please don't judge my style of dealing with things and yes, I already know thread haters will be in this.

    And for those haters on my thread, it was a mix-up so there is no need to get snippy with me. No one's perfect.

    You know, I have two thoughts.
    1. Why not make six-changer toys of the other two? I'm always in favour of Hasbro pushing the envelope on transformations. The newly announced Black Shadow TR toy already has 4 modes, stretching out 2 more is not impossible. There is at least one probably mode beyond those, based on the original toy in which you could combine the tank and jet into one big jet thing. Wouldn't be surprised if this is doable with the new toy as well.

    2. Where are the Autobot counterparts to these Phase Sixers? There must be balance with the matrix! There were autobot six-changers, so there's that...

    I used to follow Idw, and I don't remember an uber unstoppably powerful autobot.

    the phase 6ers always bothered me, because if they were that ultra powerful, why did megatron keep them only for specific purposes and not to, like, kill all the autobots. (though maybe it was last stand of the wreckers and Mtmte that made this a problem. I remember that under furman OPtimus could still effectively fight six shot.)

    No balance with the matrix = Me laughing at the face of Primus as Unicron returns.

    Megatron did this so when the other Decepticons wore the Autobots down, then the phase sixers would come in and exterminate the rest.

    I think the implication is that Megatron relegated them to that position in order to keep a leash on them. They all started out as the Warriors Elite and served that role of just being all-purpose killing machines, but when the war shifted focus into an infiltration-based protocol system, having a bunch of uber-powerful nigh-unstoppable rage monsters running amok would be a liability. So under the branding of Phase Sixers, they have much less free reign on what they can do, which is why Overlord rejected immediately and Black Shadow eventually defected.

    More to the point of the thread, Six Shot is my favorite of the group because he always strikes me as the most interesting. He's not a psychopath and doesn't particularly seem to overtly enjoy what he does, he just does it because it's his job, and he finds it mind-numbingly boring. It's a shame he hasn't been seen in IDW in years, as I think a story about him trying to fit into society during peacetime could be really enjoyable.

    And then after Black Shadow defected and Overlord comepletely rejected it, Megatron sent his death squad, the DJD.

    Your comment is irrelevant. You just wasted probably 30 seconds to type this? Oh the humanity.

    I am just saying, you cannot make friends around here acting the way you are acting. You will most likely end up on the end of a Bannhammer.
