Transformers Shattered Glass Treadshot
A reuse of the Transformers Reveal the Shield Jazz*, my one complaint with Treadshot is that seeing him makes me realize that I’m going to want the Transformers United Stepper that uses the same mold. Why is this a problem? Because Stepper was an exclusive release and he’s currently priced over $100 at Big Bad Toy Store, Robot Kingdom, and TFSource. Damn.
Take a look at Treadshot at the Botcon website. I was expecting the Action Masters Treadshot design (TFWiki), but I guess I’m not too shocked that they went with the Transformers Universe Treadshot (TFWiki) since that toy can actually transform.
Actually, digging deeper I see that instead of Gigatron (last mentioned here) the designers could have used the Revenge of the Fallen Bludgeon* mold to make a decent Treadshot inspired by the Mini-Con from 2008 (TFWiki). The colors are in the right neighborhood.
