Elite Guard Dion! A mock up is on the club website now!!! He is a repaint of Universe Hotshot. EDIT: A full character profile for Dion will appear in Transformers Timelines Issue 4. .
He is a character from the G1 cartoon. He was besties with Optimus and his girlfriend Ariel before the great war. Dion was killed by Megatron or his minions. Not sure which.
Looks okay, but I'm probably passing. I'm guessing this means the next 2 figures will be Orion Pax & Ariel, since they said the next 3 club member figures would be connected.
Let's hope they use the Japanese version of the mold with the cut out for the tail pipe. Otherwise that backpack is a mess.
That... no. that's bad! Dion's shoulders shouldnt hurt! Maybe if they managed to budget some fucking PINS in the shoulder hinge, then okay! but if not, NO. BAD.
Holy crap, yeah. Totally forgot about that. :O Well, It would definitely make up for this, assuming they use good molds for Orion and Ariel.
Huh. Was not expecting Dion at all. I.....guess that's cool. Don't have much love for the mold, but hey, I'm still a member. Free toy. That cover for #30, however, is freakin' badass.
Wow, I tell ya I was really feeling the love when they announced Punch / Counterpunch. I thought, they are listening, they know what we want! NOW THIS.... I have been a member since they took over and after this I am having my doubts.... Come on FP you can make better decisions that this....
I'm kind of intrigued by this choice myself. They are giving us an obscure character that only has one version of a figure and that is a Japanese exclusive toy. So, they are giving us something different. Personally I prefer this over another Starscream, Jazz, Grimlock, etc.
