I think the appropriate response is... "fuh!?"
IE, why are we seeing a retconned G1 character rather than a traditional one?
I can't help but feel somewhat confused and disappointed. Couldn't they at least change the headmold?
I think this looks better and would actually prefer to get Ricochet in the box set rather than Evil Autobot Jazz.
Ricochet is the name Hasbro randomly assigned when they decided to "reissue" Stepper (but not call the toy that) a few years ago. Stepper is a repaint of Jazz, retooled as a Targetmaster.Quote:

Ah, no wonder. I even saw Stepper for $15 one time used and thought "bleh, do not want". But yeah, head makes sense but color scheme does not...Quote:

When I saw the alt mode pic I thought it might be evil Red Alert or something. But I don't understand these colours for stepper/ricochet? Wasn't he black?
Yes, he was. I can live with the dark red for Evil Stepper. I mean, you can't get any darker than black. I think Decepticon Purple would have been a better choice, but dark red I can live with. The the use of the name Ricochet - which is a retconned concept - doesn't sit especially well with me.Quote:

that's five flavours of mediocrity right there. (-_-)
