Random thought. Anyone else notice Road Pig doesn't have any of the usual awesome diorama promo photos that the Hasbro photographers do? Wonder what happened and if they actually took some and just forgot to upload them or maybe they are delayed going up?

Anyways, noticed this on Friday and meant to mention it on here.

Kind of sucks such a great figure didn't get the cool photo treatment that he deserved lol I love the photography for the line so it was disappointing to see Road Pig didn't get any.

I noticed that two because I went looking to get some better photos him wearing his masks.

I assume they'll just be uploaded or sent out later. We saw this happen with the crossover SOundwave where the diorama photos went up after it was sent out.

Let us hope because I know what is coming from Slice, and I want.

Well, even before the comics, the file card clearly established Hawk as the guy in charge. That was why I was so confused and affronted by Duke in the cartoon.

But I have enjoyed the updates to Rock n Roll, Stalker, Grunt, and Clutch. I don't even hate Breaker I just wish he came with gear.

I will say I'm pretty psyched about the retro card ones though. I'd love to see most of that team in as original looking gear as possible (also that card art is amazing).. but honestly as long as we get at least one version of each.. I'll be pretty dang happy.

It is kind of funny to me that things got more garish and neon as time progressed, which happened to coincide with the introduction of Colonel Courage, whose file card depicted him (as I remember it) as kind of a stickler for rules and regulations.

Oh, I didn't know that had happened before. Good to know! That actually gives me hope they'll pop up eventually. I also noticed NF Shockwave also does not have any.

While on the subject of Road Pig, I love that his belt buckle is a hog. It's little attention to details like that make this line so awesome.

This happens a few times with Transformers products too, I wouldn't put much thought into it. I'm sure they'll come up later. It could be possible they wanted to use him for a different diorama, since he wouldn't really fit in with the mountain scenery that a lot of the recent stuff has been using.
