He was the Joe equivalent of Grimlock to me -- tough guy who could take anyone on (though smarter than Grimlock, of course!).LBD 'Nytetrayn'https://www.blogger.com/profile/03558404841371560435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465846926358835088.post-6400767742997521072020-11-27T22:50:36.148-05:002020-11-27T22:50:36.148-05:00Man so many amazing figures I am looking forward t...Man so many amazing figures I am looking forward to.... Classic Storm Shadow, Nemesis Enforceer, Spirit; hopefully a Serpentor with Chariot box set!<br /><br />But if I am picking one character I would really like to see I am gonna go with Dr Mindbender. I think he is the next guy needed in the Cobra hierarchy now that Zartan is on the way. <br /><br />He has that old timey villain look, he pretty much supplants Destro as the number 2 featured Cobra character in Season 2 of the OG Sunbow series and the vest longcoat with a big ol' Cobra logo on the back should come off great in this line. <br /><br />I wouldnt even mind if he came packaged with a Trouble Bubble.

I know he's...My choice would have to be Falcon. I know he's got a boring look but he has always been my favorite. Its because like my favorite Transformer (Hot Rod/Rodimus), he is flawed. I like those kind of characters. In the movie he gets his brother Duke killed, um er I mean put in a coma, due to being irresponsible. Not to mention letting Zarana on the base thinking she was just some hot girl. In the only other arc he was ever in in that era he was addicted to drugs. I like it when heroes show lack of judgement and learn from their mistakes. It makes them feel much more real.Alexis Skrullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701739802700218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465846926358835088.post-57283781796405011052020-11-10T22:25:26.104-05:002020-11-10T22:25:26.104-05:00I'm a fan of Hardball.

I was blown away by Snow Job, Airborne, Gung Ho, and Wild Bill. But my favorite was always Doc.

Not many of them had rooted hair and although I doubt he'd have his "real" ponytail in classified, I think hasbro would still sculpt him a great noggin. Plus, not only was he a dreadnok but a pirate dreadnok!

The DTC and Pursuit of Cobra versions were both ideal upgrades of the vintage figure but I'm really anxious to see how the Classified series upgrades Lowlight.
