That's the problem. Villains should be all bad.

I meant the banned line bro. Not the movie figures.

I just realised something that should have been obvious to me earlier on.
Which is because of the colours he's dressed in Cobra Island Roadblock displays rather well with Night Force Characters such as Shockwave or Shooter as well as a potential Night Force Flint at some point.

I'm guess Night Force Flint will be an adaptation of the Retro Flint design if/when they make one.

That said I do think that regardless of any other considerations Danger and the Docks (Grey) Flint does make for a look I'd very much like to have in Classified. With or without the Vehicle.

It's not like I am going to complain if they sold him solo and made the grey Vamp with a Clutch Repaint.. I'd like that just as much too.

Overall though I really don't object to some gentle re-purposing.

Kinda like if they did the Croc Master repaint then it should be "officially" Python Patrol when/if they do make it in 6" scale.

Or like how I mentioned the other day how much Roadblock Version 5 is rather similar to Mad Marauders colours.

It's basically the exact thing that I was saying they shouldn't do: writing comics for old men like me instead of creating something new that a kid might call their own.

I think it works in the short term, but I don't think 40 years from now people are going to be on message boards nostalgic for Dark Energon stuff.

I'd love to be wrong on that though.

I don't see that as any different than including Colton in ARAH. You need that to bring along the older fans, that familiarity, while offering something new that gives that "fresh" feeling.

I forgot to mention to mention that he makes a good base for Mr. T custom. I made one a few years back:

Random Question: Has anyone see a photoshop mockup of HasLab Wild Bill recolored in 1991 Wild Bill Colors? I'm curious how it would look.

I havent but im sure someone has done it .. I don?t mind the sunbow colors, but that would be the one wild bill that I would buy only for parts and just to have an extra , i was never a fan of his bright yellow vest . Ugh
But thats just me i would buy an extra to do a night force version maybe and also to have an extra western belt/holster and cowboy hat plus revolvers as well .

I hope eventually they make a joe with a removable baseball cap , like maybe cutter of that one tracker figure .. does the new alpines hat come off .. hmmmmm
