If anyone wants to scalp me, please let me know. I'm saving money as of yesterday. MP Hot Rod can wait, Delicate Arcee can wait, this year is for Cobra de Aço and F-14 Starscream!

I jsut saw the pics. I'm on the fence about it. One one hand, it's one of my favorite Joe vechicles repainted as G1 Starscream with a new CC figure. On the other hand, he doesn't transform out of jet mode. Action Masters wer one thing, this I'm not sure.

The front page may need to be corrected as it refers to The Megatron that comes with the set as a 'Luger' when it's clearly pictured as a Walther P-38 with the Man From Uncle style extentions as it so often is.

Scalptastic!
Speaking of scalptastic, considering the extreme want for this I may have to try to get one just to resell. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Maybe we'll get Shadow Scythe as an SDCC exclusive…
Blitz.
the Info was released during the Joe part of toyfair. But given how it carries both brands unless theirs say a HA toy with a repainted human as say Duke I can see it just being a single joint exclusive.
But really I'm happy for it as this is really the closest we've gotten to the much desired Joe TF cross over toy line (not counting Ti Megs… he does not exist)
MegaMoonMan
Not sure, I hope there's an actual TF exclusive.

I only read the first few posts, but isn't it the Joe SDCC exclusive?
MegaMoonMan
So the SDCC TF exclusive is nothing but a repainted GI JOE vehicle?
Count me in the minority for a big fat pass. I don't collect GI JOE.

Why buy 3 to repaint when you could get the mass release new skystriker which knowing sdcc exclusives will be cheaper.

Thats a nice toy there…. SO… Who will be the first to make the thing transform for the Radicon's forum now?
On a side note… Anyone else kinda ticked that they still only tease us with the cross-overline?
My take here is that they are expanding the human alliance stuff to see how to do it .. Kinda Prototype. Then when the movie stuff/Prime stuff to finally wind down and when they need a new line they'll pop it on us.

So tfomers.com is saying other figures will be announced as SDCC gets closer. So that takes the edge off for me. Cause as cool as this G.I. Joe toy is, I really want a transformer exclusive too.

there is going to a ton of pissed off Fandom when this shit pops for like 3 seconds..then immediately to SOLD OUT for the rest of the time it is listed on the site.
Shadowbreaker
Awesome.

Exactly. This thing doesn't transform. It's just colored (and not very well from the pics I've seen so far) to look like StarScream. And a tiny gun. I really hope they announce another exclusive. One that TRANSFORMS.

So is this considered a SDCC GI Joe Exclusive or a TF exclusive? I ask since I do not remember seeing a TF Exclusive in all the pictures, but there is already a GI Joe Exclusive (Zaranas), SW exclusives, and even an Indy exclusive
