In the SDCC pics of the Walmart exclusive outposts which are labeled with little placards, we've got the set with resolute Roadblock(rad!) and Tripwire, who seems to be Grand Slam for the most part, only with lots more silver and Flash's laser gear. No mi e stuff, so the name seems odd.
Then, over with the Laser outpost set with Hawk, we've got Hit n Run, who is Tripwire's mold entirely, with jungle stripes across his pads. His silver pads. So close to being Tiger Force Tripwire!
Sooo, what the hell? Did a Hasbro rep accidentally swap the figures? They are practically the same besides their heads. Just seems bizzare to me. And the fact that we were one paint app away from Tiger Force Tripwire. They could call him Batman for all I care if the pads were orange.
It's like they were playing name roulette. Dial-Tone, I get. She's female, people are mad, they changed the character, whatever, but she is a communications officer, so the name makes sense. Repeater: Black, white, he's got a big ass machine gun.
But these 2...it's just odd to me. Any thoughts?
I thought the same thing but it could've been a mistake? Freaking Hasbro!
