Okay, Blastoff as a tank kinda-sorta makes sense -- but really, Swindle as a helicopter? Must've been some weird upgrade he'd stumbled upon. Really imho doesn't fit him but probably some headcanon/imagination of _why_ ROTF made him a chopper.

Humorously, according to TFwiki this and rotf blazemaster use scrapped springer copter designs (ROTF is for bayverse springer and this one is unspecified beyond "it's G1"). The bot mode of blazemaster here was apparently recycled from a scrapped design one of the 2010s TF MMOs too, hence if you up his og design it looks very different

The "A" refers to the side. Side A (the first side with half the track list) and Side B (with the remaining songs). The 60 refers to the rotation rate for the tape. Older cassette players had variable speeds, and so a lot of tapes would tell you what speed to set it to so the music would sound right. I actually used to have Raindance.

I feel like they'd used this mold as Motormaster in Japan but I'm not sure. The lasttime I checked/remembered, HasTak didn't repaint the RID15 guys into anything. Imagine getting an Ultra Magnus out of this mold or Cliffjumper and Bugbite, imagine Sideswipe getting repainted into Sunstreaker and Grimlock into Gnashteeth (BW Megatron) Why didn't that happen? And with Jazz from RID15, no ricochet or Movie Jazz repaint? Atleast I _don't think_ he was repainted into Ricochet...
@BobsYourUncleReviews17 күн бұрын
Whilst they didn't repaint them into different characters (for the most part) I remember plenty of repaints/remolds. Like this Optimus was repainted into a power surge, just like the rest of the main cast, minus drift and Grimlock. TransformerLand has a great guide, they show just about everything that a mold was repainted for! But I do like your ideas of the repaints we didn't get, especially that Jazz into 2007 jazz!

Actually, it's a styracosaurus, according to official documentation. Plus I can't find "strachiosaurus". Anyway, I've always thought the idea of the PCCs were unique, though the execution was kinda botched. One thing I've wanted to know, are they compatible with Energon Combiners? It looks like the same joiny joints. Also, I can't explain it, but his head looks more "dopey" than I expect from a Dinobot. I know most of them _are_ about as intelligent as a retrorat with its brain module missing, but they at least *look* imposing.
