Last month we have reported that there is a new ROTF 2-pack - Super Tuner Showdown Box set.
This set consist of 2 deluxe figures - Blowpipe & Sideways. However we do not have any other information about the availability and release date.

TFClub has listed the above mentioned box set at Chinese online auction website Taobao.com for sale. From the new images of the box set, this ROTF box set is set to be the exclusive item for Walmart.

Blowpipe is a repaint version of Dropkick from Transformers movie 1. Click our gallery here on Dropkick for comparison.

Somehow, I think Blowpipe's actually supposed to represent G1 Minibot Pipes, and stealing a Targetmaster gun's name was the closest thing they could trademark.

Oh great another WM exclusive #-o

We need more Target exclusives imo, even though I'm not really feeling this one.

Couldn't hasbro user another mold besides the dropkick/salvage mold!
for god sakes!! hasbro will kill this mold too!! I think they should have used the breakaway (07 walmart exclusive) mold into Windcharger or done a redeco of Big Daddy mold into wheeljack and use the Dead end repaint for the super tuner showdown!! now that i would buy!!!
and would everyone agree???

Maybe Blowpipe is a relative of Huffer.

I believe that Blowpipe it's not relative whit Huffer. I think it's related more whit G1 Pipes because of the color.

Except they were originally molds from the Cybertron line... Look up Hot Shot and Downshift respectively. And it's only the second repaint after Salvage. So no, I don't agree.

Sigh.....

Ever since I ever saw Salvage the first time I have always wanted Hasbro to do a slight retool of this to be Trailbreaker. Either him or the other figure that was released along with the Walmart exclusives Breakaway, Fracture, Big Daddy and Dropkick figures (I can't remember the other figures name but he was a blue Police SUV and he could have worked as Trailbreaker too.)

I already have both molds so im gonna pass. Hasbro is really getting lazy these days. Stop putting out useless repaints and just make more of the figures that are out already. Still cant find Longhaul and a few other figures. I knew that hole "we dont make repaints for the sake of making repaints" statement was a flat out lie.

I have saved so much $ from what I have not bought from the ROTF line! This included.

Has no one noticed that this is been listed as "Super Tuner Showdown" when it says "Super Tuner Throwdown" on the box?

If they MUST repaint Dropkick AGAIN...can they at least get rid of that dopey claw gimmick? Seriously, you can take that bulky piece off the toy completely and it still transforms perfectly. It gives the vehicle a trunk bed.

How many of you who own ROTF Sideways will pick this set up just for the Dropkick repaint? If you do what do you plan on doing with the extra Sideways figure?

I prob won't be picking this up, but if I do, I'll just leave the extra Sideways in alt mode and display him that way.

I'm a mixed MISB and loose collector, so I'll just keep this MISB.
