Yup! I vote for FireLaserMan!

That figure looks coooool.

'GO! Fire laser Man! The children are in danger!'

Hey Cobotron, I never commented, but I read one of your comments awhile back about MP 28 and how you prefer the beefy look of the G1 toy with the exhausts and wheels on his legs instead of his animation ballet dancer self, and it got me thinking; what if it was possible to make a Hot Rod figure where you can choose to keep those bits there, or move them off-looks like TR Hot Rod can do just that!

Hinomars, you been lurkin' the 'Tron?

*goes and looks at TR Hot Rod for the umpteenth time*

Hey, you're right! I wonder where those pipes went? Hiding behind his calves maybe? Honestly I like Rod to have pipes on his legs in plain site. Just bolsters the idea of a "Hot Rod" for me. I like car parts hanging off bots. You know what this TR version does? It gives us the best of both worlds. He maintains a slender cut to his legs, but has some nice sculpted details on his shins. Although those shapes on his shins are simplified from past versions, the still evoke the the triangles and shin intake that is so prevalent on the older toys.
So are you thinking those panels with the wheels could swing back around to the side if you wanted the wheels to hang off his calves?
I like everything about this new Hot Rod, and can't wait to get one!

The set would include Fortress, Chromedome, Hardhead, Highbrow, Brainstorm, Skull[cruncher], Wierdwold and [Mind]Wipe. No accessories, just the heads, which in the case of The Headmasters are the characters themselves. Kids are going to lose heads anyway so this would target both collectors and fans of the cartoon and parents who need to replace the heads of their kid's favorite toys. Everybody wins! Make it so, !

Great, now you've made me want something that may never exist.

No, only Americans win. Everyone else would lose really bad since HTS charges a ton to ship internationally and since they would be exclusive HTS, everyone outside the states would be stuck importing.

Name an international company to add as the other exclusive. I would not want TRU because they overcharge for everything.

Also, no slingshot included with Wheelie

Even more than before I want to rip off Alpha Bravo's arm and smack Wheelie with it...
