Size isn't a factor, seeing as we already got Leader Class figures out of the Combiner Wars. All I see they need to do is just change the arm kibble cannons to something shorter, broaden the wings and you've got Figuroa's War Within designs ready. And for a little splash of creativity, make their Titan-Master head facial expressions different, snear for Starscream, frown for Skywarp, and a smirk for Thundercracker.
Uh no we aren't retarded. I like the seekers at deluxe scale because they scale with the autobot cars in root mode. Nothing "can only be" a certain thing, and just because they don't share your point of view, doesnt make them retarded
Azrelproductionsplus. Just ignore him, with a name like Starscream you know where his opinion stands. Guess he's a little upset over the Warrior class figure from RiD.
A jetformer with an awesome vehicle mode, an awesome robot mode, and NOT suffering from 'Robot wearing jet as backpack for vehicle mode'?? HOT DAMN YES. Don't even care that he's a 'headmaster' instead of a targetmaster, this update is so worth it.
Hey Emgo I've been watching your reviews for a few months now, and have recently subscribed. I enjoy your review style and your various running gags, especially sad pac-man, but more particular to this post is your use of the word Transclearent. A word that is not a word, but if you have the basest grasp on the English language you know exactly what it means. Apparently if you google Transclearent the first couple of links direct to you. To this I say continue to spread the use of Transclearent good sir. Shakespeare invented hundreds of words during his career, I think we can allow you the one. :P
Triggerhappy. A name that best describes him as he loves indiscriminately firing upon friend and foe alike, not stopping until he runs out of ammo. Also no surprise that he is a cackling madbot. I could see how he can remind someone of Star Wars, as he looks a lot like an X-Wing in his jet mode. But cooler. Way cooler as blue is an awesome color. The only problem I have with this figure is that is side guns should've been detachable and his primary weapons (in this case, more isn't better). Also, as with all Head/Titan Masters, instead of a head attached to a robot, actually have the head transform into one. Other than that, a fantastic looking figure with a fantastic looking alt-mode from a review that's three years later
$20 says that we'll see at least one repaint/remold of this *exact* figure (excluding the Headmaster figure) within the next year. This transformation is too good to not use a dozen times if not at least once more
It always bugged me in some promotional pictures for this figure that the yellow eyes aren’t sunk in because *someone* painted yellow over the blue part as well. If the final product was like that I probably wouldn’t have bought it.
Read about him with Skullscruncher in a 1987 Marvel Hardback comic which I still own now and I wanted to get a G1 Triggerhappy but by 1987, the TF phase was starting to die out. So I wait around 29+ years to get him now! I was that wrapped and O.P. that I bought 3 of him!!! He'd be very hard pressed to beat, feels great, looks great, interesting all the way. Finally our Triggs gets the credit and recognition he deserves!!!
Just need an updated version of Crosshairs,Sureshot,Pointblank,Misfire and Slugslinger and then we got all 6 autobot targetmasters and all 5 decepticons targetmaster updated in this I guess classics line
Marcus Rodriguez Wallgreens was the only store(s) in my area that stock wave 2, however only Chromedome and highbrow (and occasionally a brainstorm). The best way to get figures is to ask when the stores restock. My Walgreens restock every Tuesday, so I go there that day or Wednesday when I want figures.
Specific BBTS link to the figure: www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS25246&mode=retail And no, they don't have it yet despite Emgo actually reviewing it (it's still on pre-order with an ETA set for next month).
Man, this figure looks even better after i panel-lined all the off-white parts. Love this figure so much, tied for first with my War for Cybertron Prime as my favorite deluxes.
Just picked up this figure today. He is cool, but mine had a loose connection between his arm and his body in jet mode. I had to build up the tab with superglue to fix it. Other than that, he's got tight joints and all his paint apps are clean. He is really interesting to transform. I don't know if I would say he was the best so far, but he's got some nice engineering going on. I have no connection to the figure at all, but I'm still glad I picked him up.
Glad to see Triggerhappy is decent, would have preferred him to be a Targetmaster. I can also see Misfire done using this overall frame, but how to do Slugslinger with his twin noses? I have a soft spot for Slugslinger since I had him as a kid.
Emgo, I noticed a couple of ports on the bottom of the jet mode, I think these were meant for a flight stand or to attach something. Hopefully you can make an update video on that
This is one of the best Deluxe figures ever made, (Definitely the best one I own) but on my copy the guns are slightly misaligned so if you look at it from dead on one cannon (or thruster from the back) is pointing slightly upward and one is pointing slightly down.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I can not for the life of me get triggerhappy’s feet to stay down when turning him into jet mode I will not ever click idk why so I fold the feet up instead and it still looks cool
This figure has a special place in my heart,mostly because i got it the same day my dad came back from afhaganistan (I don’t know how to spell it)same with twinferno
Real disappointed that his arms can't bend enough to touch his shoulders. I thought having him try and copy Armada Demolisher's arm transformation would be awesome with those huge arm guns.
What a stunning TRiggerhappy :) It almost feels wrong to have a Triggerhappy who's arm flaps don't flop down do to excessive use :p Really lovely transformation, if anyone is on the fence don't be, such a cool figure
Hey EmGo be careful with Blowpipe. The first one of this figure I bought the plastic inside the Titan master sheared apart the first time I took the head out. I think it's because the clips were so tight fresh out of the box. Suffice to say, I did return and exchange it so I have a still together Triggerhappy and Blowpipe
