Well, TFWiki points out that Rad is possibly an ex-motorcycle. I think "car" is another possibility, but the way his chest slopes at the sides does seem like a motorcycle's front cowling, and he has some details on his torso that could be considered enginelike.

I think we do need a new Wreck-Gar. Neither the RTS nor PotP version is cartoon-accurate, and neither of them is really the right size to be dueling with SIEGE Springer.

That's valid. A lot of people had issues with the RTS mold breaking and I don't believe makeshift Combiner Wars characters really work well outside of a CW setting. He'd have to be a really tall Deluxe (can't see them making a Voyager motorcycle), but maybe if they can reduce his parts count enough they could manage that.

I think they might go for it in Wreck-Gar's case, since he's a movie character. His design has enough meat on the bones for it to work, and it would ensure he was not only the right size but had both his axe and his wheel shield and maybe even his gun.

And don't forget the big honking head. That's what disappoints me about the PotP figure. Everything else is pretty good but his head is waaaay too tiny. Gotta have a big ol' dome with handlebars.

I could really see this happening, just for the sheer cheekiness of it. Cybertron Crosswise, planned name Smokescreen, out of a Smokescreen.

I heartily encourage people to see what fun they can have with Weaponizers and Unicron Trilogy figures:

Who is that figure in the second pic!?

That would be Cybertron Wing Saber.

Cybertron Wing Saber (who surprisingly has no gallery):

Ah, the magic of standardised since 2002 5mm ports

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 10:31 pm

Actually the 5mm standard goes back G1, where it applied to most larger toys. Beast Era toys that had hands also tended to use it.

A number of Unicron Trilogy figures offer additional potential in the form of protruding 5mm posts thanks to their Mini-Con hardpoints.

Praise be to 5mm!

For anyone still looking for Refraktor, Amazon is taking orders for the standard $20, shipping in the next couple days. They just got a batch in, I got the last one, but more are on the way. I wonder if Hasbro is finally offering those solid cases they talked about last year?
