And yes, Uhaul bot is the dream too.

I think they could easily get him from Prima with selective remoulding.

I am really here for this line's repaints/remolds. I hope more FFOD cameos are hiding beneath the surface.

This has to be on its way *eventually*.

Prima having that head is wild because I think everyone was sure he'd have the Covenant head, since that was very clearly the inspiration for the body, and ultimately the colour scheme.

I don't know. I kind of like how Prima is a hodgepodge of different interpretations. He has the FFoD head and the Covenant body. That's creative. I love the energy.

I like this brand team a lot but they rarely seem to want to reinvent a design. They tend to replicate the base design as close as they can. Which is usually great, but seeing as the vast majority of the Thirteen never had proper figures before... this affords them a lot of creative leeway and it's awesome to see what they've been cooking thus far.

A Prima in FFoD colours would be pretty funny though, if only because the Random Sunbow BS that were the FFoD designs are amazing in their 80s "designed at 4:45 on a Friday" energy and I'm tickled that seal's been broken on mainline releases!

I bought a toy at Walmart with a FFoD head design. That's both awesome and incredibly wild. Aaron Archer never had the courage

It's time to watch Five Faces of Darkness again. I've not watched those episodes in like 5 years.

Crossposting with the Repaint Concept thread since we're talking about it:

Powerful Robot

Ideally, he wouldn't have the two different shades of blue, but I'm not good enough at picture editing to change that. I apologize for nothing!

 

[TheSupernova]

The two shades DO lend some extra visual appeal, though!

Then I meant to do it. Yeah....that's the ticket.

 

[unluckiness]

I just want a version without the goofy head. I don’t care about FFOD or off-brand Cyclonus.

 

[Undead Scottsman]

I still think they gave Prima the FFOD head because they wanted to give The Fallen his DW head and wanted more visual variety amongst the Primes.

 

[lastmaximal]

I'm good with it, although I'd like the facets/cheek shapes to protrude more like the show model. And for the blue/s to be grayer.

I still think they gave Prima the FFOD head because they wanted to give The Fallen his DW head and wanted more visual variety amongst the Primes.

But they gave The Fallen his DW everything, not just the head.

 

[Undead Scottsman]

They put the alt-version stuff into his accessories: the Reqium Blaster is from PotP and his staff is the Spark fuser from RiD 2015.

 

[Fullstrength Motleypuss]

Well, no thanks to Hasbro Pulse and their foot-dragging I have the entire first wave of AotP after my brother found Grimlock and Megatronus at Wal-Mart this morning!

 

[Rhinox]

I'd buy that repaint. That looks incredible.

So I finally got Slingshot. For some reason Air Raid has been left on the shelves by Slingshot has disappeared.
I'm considering painting his shades a metallic blue. If for nothing else some contrast on his face. And I think the blue would really pop.

Good news is you can pop his head off easily and replace it with one of the inner robot heads from Siege or Kingdom Magnus.

Which also means that includes the inner robot head of Nova Prime!

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Here's an attempt at a less exciting, more tediously TOON one.

 

[Shadewing]

I honestly wouldnt be surprised if we got that as a repaint at some point.

 

[Sabrblade]

I could see Takara doing it in a Dramatic Capture Series 3-pack.

Maybe with an Earthrise Quintesson and another mold done up as the U-Haul Robot, to make a "Gladiator Arena" set.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Yeah but it's Takara and season 3, so who knows how the colors would look.

Presumably the Rhino DVD (but a really old screencap from 2009)

[CoffeeHorse]

Good enough. A Dramatic Capture set could work.
