Raptor with a flock of birds instead of a singular one is in line with his introduction in the comic. I don't want to read too much into what we're seeing, but if that's where they're going then I'm probably on board for it.

You got a guy who dresses like a snake man, a guy who dresses like a bird man, and a guy who dresses like he?s into hardcore BDSM. I think its kinda humorous how many of us draw the line at Raptor. |

On the surface this is a valid point. But once you consider the fact that most fans accept Serpentor and Mindbender, it starts to become less about the design choice and more about preference.

If being a shirtless dentist who builds mind control devices is considered to be fleshed out, then sure. That being said, Im not an expert on how Mindbender was portrayed in the comics. But in the cartoon he was pretty damn silly. Dont hear what Im not saying though, I love Mindbender and I dont mean to come off as combative. I just think literally all of GIJoe is pretty silly when you think about it. It?s interesting to me how some characters are considered too far. Seen Ice Cream Soldier mentioned today as well which surprises me a bit. His codename is ridiculous, but his design is pretty cool. Tone down some of the colors and he would make for a pretty awesome Classified figure. |

His load out is decent and his colours are not too far off Blowtorch. Could pair well together and form their own subset. Even Barbeque CI is orange. Could be a thing

Gung Ho had a huge tattoo on his chest. Zartan figure had the ability to remove chest Torch looks like he belongs in a San Francisco bar. Quick Kick is just about naked except for loose fitting pants and a miss america sash. Mindbender, Thrasher, Zandar, Big Boa, Raptor, Steam Roller, Road Pig, Gnawgahyde, Night Creeper Leader - all in various states of bare-chested-ness. Yet, the best we ever got female-wise was Baroness in a tight-leather bodysuit. |

Well, by definition yes, the rule is gatekeeping "to control access to something, or determine the legitimacy of people's claims to a particular status, by unilaterally imposing criteria for acceptance".
And that's fine but I understand why they said it's gatekeeping and if Hasbro doesn't want the info out and it's a "leak" then rewarding it with praise or credit will result in more and more. Personally I like being surprised by the releases but I'm not going to fuss about a picture, but I don't want to really praise the person who leaked it either. But if it's out there you can't put the cat back in the bag as they say and trying to say that only images with proper providence and attribution can be shared is understandable but wouldn't the original leaker want to be anonymous lest they incur the ire of Hasbro? Unless it's someone who had permission to leak it in which case it isn't a "leak" but I guess guerilla/viral marketing. Quote:
It is not about gate keeping but rather protecting this site. I am a moderator on a 24/7 sports site and just recently learned it can be illegal to post other information if it came from behind a paywall. This most likely did not but there are some podcasts and social media that do offer members premium content as part of a subscription. Examples of this are on discord and Reddit from what I have learned.
It can just be something simple as saying saw this on a Facebook groups post or on Twitter just so we know it is not made up or coming from a premium access site.
