Who the f*ck is gonna buy Ricochet? Seriously. Nobody is gonna buy that thing b/c he sucks ass.

 

And that ghey orange Jeep is ghey and orange. WTF are these people smoking? Where are the kickass toys at?

Another thing you have to give credit to Hasbro for is that these 3rd molds only ship in one case each, so far any way. Swerve was here and gone. Sunstreakers only in the current case. Hopefully Bar and Chet will be only in one case *hopes real hard*

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I wouldn't mind if they shipped in two assortments.  I think swerve was a little *too* rare.

 

I hope they rerelease the RX-8 in purple or yellow. It is a decent car for Bumblebee if I figure.

They already put out shockblast.

shockblast is bue.  :tfgrin

In the right light, he's Purple. Then again, in the right light Sunstreaker's shoulders are Orange.

Bunch of whiners  :roll

 

I for one will get all three: Prime, Rollbar and Ricochet.

 

Ricochet: sure, the Subaru isn't the best mold and perhaps even the worst of the alternators with its cumbersome legs, lack of backseats and ill-designed steering wheel mechanism. And sure, it would've made more sense to have Ricochet as a Mazda. But it isn't, and get over it  :tfevil We knew there was going to be a third Subaru and looking at the G1 cars, I think Ricochet is one of the best choices for this mold: he was a hoodformer in G1 and he's so again in Alternators. What other hoodformers did we get? I think we've already had most of them, so this is really not a bad choice. They could also have made him piss-yellow and called him Dragstrip. No, although not ideal, I think Ricochet isn't that bad a choice. Of course, those flame decals are bad and they will go. (I'm also thinking of implementing a different leg transformation (more like G1 Ricochet had) to differ him from the others.) The only gripe I have (besides those stickers) is that I feel Hasbro should have done something to differ this one from Silverstreak: a different head or different spoiler or, best of all, the shoulder missile that came with BT Smokescreen GT.

 

Rollbar: eh, just as with Wheeljack and Swerve, I have some problems with the name designation. Sure, G1 Rollbar was a jeep, but he was green. Not this color (it still looks like red to me, not orange). I've liked the jeep mold from the start and think red looks good on this mold. Don't know who he will be with me (liked lobo's idea of turning the jeep into Inferno and might do something similar with this one), but I will get him. Pitty he's just a repaint.

 

Remember folks, alternators is based on G1, it isn't G1 reborn. If you start complaining "I won't buy Ricochet because he should be the mazda", then sell all your other alts: Smokescreen/Bluestreak weren't Subaru's but Fairlady Z, Jazz/Meister wasn't a Mazda but a porsche, etc...etc...

 

Repaints are the way things are (unless, as stated above, you're willing to pay $ 40 or more for an alt, to $ 80+ for a BT). And of course, there's always the option of: don't like it, don't buy it. I, for one, will get them.

I have a Rollbar Idea. We could take the visor off. Ricky, I dont know....

Spare Meister head repainted? (As if those were readily available :redface)

 

I'm going to wait to see what reprolabels comes up with for Ricochet. I don't mind flame decals if they're appropriate, but these look like someone lit a cartoon fart and snapped a picture.

 

*imagines Skids' flamework on Ricochet*  Yeah, that woulda worked... it's like Hasbro is taunting us.
