*sigh* If only I could find 'em. Local stores have been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind in terms of inventory lately.

What figures are also in this series? I only saw the Voyager Prime repaint, Bludgeon and Recon Ironhide in the stores...

This combination?

It's a matter of not flipping the shoulders all the way down on mindwipe and sliding skystalker into the chest cavity from behind. It looks awesome, but seems too finicky to me

once I get theese two I'll probably pose them like this

 

Mindwipe says...

 

Couldn't resist the joke. :D

 

In my experience, ever since they started this Rivalry concept, they've been releasing the pairs of figures that have corresponding rivalries. Recon Ironhide popped up along with Bludgeon, and Mindwipe showed up with Defender Optimus Prime. If Prime is in your store, then they either have Mindwipe in storage, or worse, sold out their current stock. I've never worked in a retail store before, so they may have other ordering and display practices that I'm not aware of.

Does Skystalker really deserve being on the Elite Destroyers[my name for Con's Elite Guard]? Seems all bots are in the Elites now...... It started in R.I.D., and only for large figures, tanks, jets, and stuff like that. But ever since Animated, everyone seems to have the faction symbol wings of Eliteness.

 

Btw, before anyone else says it, Skystalker is a drone jet, and a small one too. I meant stuff like B2s, B17s, ones with 4+ missles on each wing and automatic turrets, you know, stuff like that.
