And here I was thinking that they would reuse the "Autobot Jazz" artwork. Eh.

Nightstick's artwork comes from the MTMTE series, I think. Not too sure.

It's either directly taken from MTMTE issue 7 or a very good reproduction of the respective artwork, yes.

I like it and I like the new name "Ricochet" very G1 Targetmaster and cool sounding.

Yeah. I just checked. Only Nightstick in MTMTE#7 is black and dark grey while it's light grey and white here.

Hmm. You know, if I didn't know better, that would almost make me believe this was a photoshopped deal.

i just wonder what they will call nightstick when they release targetmaster cyclonus.

also wonder if they will release the targetmaster inferno repaint and if the nebulon will still be named fracas. (tm scourge partner)

I hope they release Artfire. It's be a shame if they didn't.

I hope they have him at TRU this week.

All in all it looks pretty good. Box Artwork seems like MTMTEish... cool.

I don't know...that artwork's pretty terrible. The proportions are all off and he looks like he's using the bathroom. The original G1 box art (overall, versus the Dreamwave stuff) was much, much better.

The price the guy's asking is obscene, considering it'll be retailing for much less within a month or so.
