Kinda the good thing about owning something. You can call it what you want once you buy it.

"Covert Clone"? I'm reminded of FunPub's WoH incarnation of Jhiaxus, in which he created "next-generation clones" styled after the G2 G1 Gobots, Sideswipe included... Except that clone was switched out for the real deal.

Very happy to see Hasbro went the mile in naming Grand Slam and Raindance.

:EDIT: Trenchfoot is a redeco of Blowpipe with Caliburst's Fire Blast, not Aimless: single barrel vs. double. Also, we know now the number for the set: WFC-S26.

Yeah, I have, or had (I think I lost it)... Breacher? I think, the Hunt for the Decepticons blue autobot scout class guy that works with Seaspray and turns into that 6 wheeled thing, I think his name's Breacher but to me he is a version of Roller.

Nemesis Primal wrote:...I'm pretty sure that between the number being on the art, both of those pictures being close to the same size, and Jetfire and Omega's boxes being set up similar that that "side artwork" is actually the front of the box. Nice to see that they're still giving alternate names when they release two of the same character now, and all the figures still look great, so I'm still intent on picking this set up. Plus, that little glimpse of Skywarp and one of his minions in the corner there as a cross-sell is enough confirmation for me to assume that they're probably S27, so that's two missing numbers down.

Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce ... Mission

Mission:

After receiving reports of heavy attacks by Skywarp and the Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron on Autobots, Optimus Prime hired an elite team to take action against the attacks – the Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce. The Analyst: Slamdance, the Striker: a clone of Sideswipe with increased speed and hidden abilities, the Sagittarius: a Battle Master Barrage Specialist called Trenchfoot, and an Reconnaissance Team: Greenlight and Dazzlestrike must work together to prevent and repel the Attacks of the Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron. (WFC-S15 Greenlight is sold separately, subject to availability.)
Slamdance needs to analyze the data collected by the reconnaissance team and identify the patterns behind Skywarp's teleportation to predict its actions. Once detected, the Sideswipe clone, along with the Barrage Fireman, Trenchfoot, must use its camouflage and speed as a replacement to race to the predicted location and wait for Skywarp to arrive. The Sideswipe clone and Trenchfoot have to fend off the attack on their own until the rest of their team arrives.
The final attack
Can the Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce outsmart the Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron and put an end to skywarp and his team's brutal attacks on autobots? ... or will the Decepticon team overwhelm the Autobots and continue to perform debilitating surprise attacks on the Autobots. Who will perform the final attack when the Alphastrike Counterfource takes on Phantomstrike Squadron?

*Insert game show "WRONG!" buzzer*
Vermilion is a red-orange color. It's viridian that's green. But it's a dark green, so..

Was it the current Prime ordeal that scared you off, or was it the price tag?

I'm gonna guess Prime.

Prime exclusives suck. some of us do not order enough from amazon to justify Prime or don't worry about it or need it or even want it. So it sucks that it's a Prime members only thing, and that'll be bad news if others follow the trend.

Edit: and now I've realized I'll probably have to pay more, now that I've noticed she's an Amazon Prime Exclusive, which is a pain in the ****ing neck. Guess I'm getting her second hand. Damn it Hasbro I skipped Nemesis Prime because of this but I'm already too far gone as far as Orthia is concerned so I just have to keep going.

00Stargrave00 wrote:Hey where does that Orthia name come from? I know I’ve heard that in reference to the female Autobots before.

And I should clarify I referred to Elita Infin1te by another name in the article it’s just my preference as I think the other lacks a little oomph, coulda used a little more imagination there.

“Another scoop of the mystery meat there please Orthia...” yikes.
