As most if not all of you know that Redwing is a Target exclusive that you could only buy using your REDcard. I know other sites like Robotkingdom, Ebay, TFsource are selling him, but at that moment when he was released you could ONLY acquire him through Target REDcard purchases. Me being a Transformaniac...HAD to have him immediately! Thank you life for giving me a family, otherwise, I wouldn't have a REDcard. Since then he's been chilling next to Starscream. Recently, Toyhax gave him a nice needed upgrade to break up the red colored jet.

I've been chasing Shockwaves forces for 3 weeks straight now! I read online that someone had found them in a local store (Target Exc.), and I bolted faster than you can imagine to get a hold of them. Total bust! I was angry...I asked the stock boy what was the deal, even to the point of giving him the stocking number. They didn't exist. Hmmmm.....I wondered if they were a myth at one point. I was going there on a daily basis. I went to a few Targets A LOT. I gave up on chasing them for a couple of days. I made sure I researched anybody that was acquiring him, or even selling them. There were a few on Ebay, but they wanted $130-$180!!! Come on people that just isn't right! Scalpers suck. They ruin the run of chasing bots, and just make the TF fans angry when we know we can find them for stock price at some point. All that put aside, I have the rainmakers in hand! Phew! Not sure how long these boys are going to be around, it's nice to get these quadruple jets over, and done with early. 

Exact same bot, but two different names. Japan calls him Stepper, US calls him Ricochet. Honestly Ricochet sounds much cooler lol. Here is my Ricochet with Toyhax labels. Excellent job! I highly recommend this set. The gold finish makes this the perfect looking Ricochet to be made outside of his G1 model.

New edition Lancer added to the party! I figured I needed to incorporate all the female autobots, so I added Windblade from the generations line also.

WOW!!!! I'm sure the whole TF Universe has seen this bad boy with eyes like Tom & Jerry hahaha
​

The deal is that Hasbro needs to have 8,000 commitments by August, 31st to start production. The big issue is that he is going to cost you $575!! I'm assuming that is not including shipping. That is a very hefty price tag on a figure that is 27" tall! 

Don't get me wrong; he is absolutely amazing!!! The detail is incredible, the colors, the size, everything about it is what we have ever imagined the king of destruction should be. I'd love to display him behind all my masterpieces looking down on them with complete disgust ready to annihilate their population. Too bad that isn't going to happen...I'm hoping (along with many of my TF friends) that someone will 3rd party him, and cost much, much cheaper. In my opinion, if he was around the $300 price tag  A LOT more people would be interested. Hell! I would be a "backer" 1st in line! Either case he is currently reaching the 1k mark of backers right now. With 46 days left it will be interesting if he makes it to production. I don't think there are that many out there that are willing to shell out that kid of cash for him. Who knows...I'll be watching it every week.

Here are the 6 of the 7 female Autobots for the Generations line over 5 years in the making. Arcee being the 1st when she was released in 2014 part of the thrilling thirty line. Unless they release another one this is the closest you are going to get to a G1 generations scale accurate Arcee. Only 4 of them are the combiner parts to make up Orthia. Once Lancer shows up, I will add her to the party, and re-post it.

We have been patiently waiting for over a year now to complete our first ever G1 female combiner. If i remember correctly we got Eltia-1 first. Moonracer, and then Novastar (aka Firestar). TF fans were definitely getting excited because we knew we were getting a female combiner FINALLY of all the G1 women! Well then chromia comes out...what a disappointment. They retooled her to not have the combiner port. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!??? And that excitement became anger...What are you thinking Hasbro!? You were given the perfect opportunity to finish this up, and you blew it! So months later out of no where Greenlight shows up on an Amazon Exclusive buy! WOW! Buy, Buy, Buy!! Not only did she have the combiner port, she comes with a battlemaster! Awesome one too! Here we are today with 4 of the 5 combiner girls:
Elita-1
Moonracer
Novastar
Greenlight

Of course, just in,  we get a shining light from the TF gods that we are getting this little lady
​

The final piece to our female combiner!!!!!! Poor Chromia shes just going to have to sit this one out. I'm sure someone will figure out how to make her the 6th part of Orthia as a weapon of some sort. No details as of yet. But this is living proof that we can finish Orthia off without using other transformers combiner bots. Stay tuned as I will be updating pics of the currently released female bots.

Soundwave...my favorite transformer of all time. This line FINALLY got it right with making him true to his G1 homage. Besides the masterpiece bot, this is by far as close as you're going to get to a G1 Soundwave. He is just absolutely amazing! The bot mode I have no complaints about. He comes with the right weapons FINALLY!! The shoulder cannon, and the blaster in one package! There is another gun they added, not sure the purpose of it, but why not, MORE WEAPONS! Now his alt modes are a little funky. He turns into some alien spaceship. Hasbro promotes that in packaging, and on the instructions. People have found 2 other modes: Lamp post mode, and his G1 tape deck mode. Both of which are weird to me. They knew TF fans like us would figure out how to get him to look like his original, so why didn't they incorporate that into this mold. Instead we are left with this awkward looking tape deck. It's not bad, you get the idea. Just not as fluent as it should be. Either way, I'm still super happy about this mold! He is a MUST buy for you collection. Of course, I have Toyhax labels on mine. It definitely brings him out further than you have imagined.

My newly acquired SS. Toyhax labels once again out did themselves. His alt gets all the love in this set. Best part is the fin to give him the pointed top like he is SUPPOSED to have Takara, and Hasbro!! Are you guys listening here?!! A simple little add on makes a great difference when you're trying to replicate something of its past time.

I'm not sure if we got an actual The Last Knight Cogman released when the movie came out. If they did my Toys R Us/Walmart/Target never got it. There were certain characters that I chased, and he was definitely one I wanted. Recently, Hasbro has decided that they want to release alllllllll the movie characters over again, BUT in the movie studio series line. They are supposed to be very detailed than the original ones released years ago. And they ARE! If I had known that this day was coming I would have waited to buy them. Now I won't waste my money re-purchasing the movie toys. If anything the Siege line is far superior I NEED to get as many as possible. 

TLK Cogman is a must have if you run across him.
