...Orion Pax?!

That's so bizarre, and yet it's a surprisingly good fit for the mould.

It's defentaly bizarre in a good sort of way I just wonder what the Wheele repaint will be called.

There's a photo of the Wheele mold in shadow with a "?" on it, so I'm guessing that Wheele will get a repaint as well.

Nice find. It works, even if it's a shame that the Kup mold is such crap...

Am I right to assume then that regular Kup will be his Targetmaster incarnation?

There's still two open slots in Takara's Headmasters numbering for Kup and Blurr.

Now I've just come to realise that he looks a bit like War Within Prime, minus the head. Actually just in vehicle mode. I would always wanted Kup to have a trailer but nevertheless 'tis a nice find and a funny looking head.

I thought that was a manipulated photo.

Might have to get that, even though I'm not an OP fan . . . or a fan of the cartoon for that matter . . .

Please dear God no!

Eh...the only thing that makes it look okay is that Orion Pax was just as crap a design as Kup.

Heh, no way - what was Magnus' form before the attack? I'll put my money on that one

Im guessing Wheelie will become Chromia, in teal/blues...

I like it. Now we just need an Optronix and we'll have a near complete set of the (known) evolution of Optimus Prime out in physical form.
Personally, I hope Orion Pax isn't a Targetmaster as his having such a sophisticated weapon seems silly considering the war hadn't really even started when Megatron fried him. Then again, maybe he liked to head out to the firing range during his off hours.

Hopefully the Wheelie recolor will be an all-new character as I just can't see either Ariel or Dion looking like that. Maybe he'll be one of the injured Alpha Trion is treating.

Quoth Nevermore:
There's still two open slots in Takara's Headmasters numbering for Kup and Blurr.

No, there isn't, at least not between C-107 Crosshairs and (C-111) Doublespy AKA Punch/Counterpunch. C-108 is Artfire and C-109 is Stepper AKA Ricochet, leaving C-110 blank, and we already have a Targetmaster Hot Rod. The only place where Targetmaster Kup and Blurr could really fit, and still be in the Headmasters numbering system, would be after C-131 Raiden.

Quoth Brave Maximus:
...what was Magnus' form before the attack?

There's no proof that Dion (the third pre-war Autobot seen in "War Dawn" and the only one seen to transform) survived Megatron's attack. There is no solid evidence that Dion was rebuilt into Magnus, only fan speculation. (For the moment.)

Bodycount · Post by **Bodycount** » Mon May 30, 2005 8:56 pm

Magnus wasn't even conceived during the time of that episode mini-series...I think Dion just died, unless he is Ironhide...which I'm sure they could have explained.

I say Dio is dead.

How about C-113 or C-115, then?

And TM Hot Rodimus did get a C-110 designation.
