onslaught86 of TransformersNewZealand.com has posted a review of the new SWTF Darth Vader figure: "Vader caught my eye in the initial line-up. At first, I thought he?d make a grand G1 Scourge, and was tempted to wait for a review to see how his head?s attached. However, curiosity got the better of me. So I went ahead and had a friend nab me one..." Read the Full News Story Here

Just got the newest issue today. In it was the typical cool stuff. The comic, the old TF premiums reviews, a new bio... but something caught my eye. A purple repaint of Gasket/Ransack(a female TF named 'Quickslinger') showed up on page 6. I read closer, and to my dissappointment, it said 'custom'. I continued through, now reading the comic section. On page 12 at the top left of the page, I saw what looked like a Minicon right in the middle of the comic. I looked closer... and it's Quickslinger! Are they trying to trick us into thinking that it's an exclusive, or do they throw custom TFs in their comics all the time? Is it even possible that QS is the next combiner…

how do you think about it? :tflaugh
