They are finally making proper Targetmasters for Classic figures:

I am already happy with FP's Sidearm for Firebolt but would love the other 3 for Scouge, Blurr and Kup.
Note that this 'Fracas' comes with a 'C' clip so that he can attach to the head in jet mode.
i thought this was pretty good considering i did not want the exclusive minicons that were assigned to the 3. hopefully the price is reasonable too.
I suspect that they will probably be a better priced than the Japanese exclusive PCC repaints. I am glad I didn't buy them.Quote:

I would be interested in picking up the 3 you mentioned Kup also, as I too am quite happy with FP's Sidearm as Firebolt plus these look far more like Targetmasters than Minicons. ;):D
They look much better than the minicons, but I can't say I'm all that impressed thus far.
I do like how Kup's targermaster is called Shot Piece, could it be a Dr Smoov reference. :D
Sometimes I wish web forums had a "Like" button. I LOVE this. I'm a huge Targetmaster fan and I'm so happy someone has finally done this. I swear if they get the green light, then I'm going to have to find an Inferno to paint up as Artfire :)
I can't wait to see product shots when they're available. The Megatron and Browning look horrible though.
Courtesy of Seibertron.com, MasterShooter Collectibles have recently updated their Facebook page with some Prototype photos of their upcoming Not-Targetmasters for Classicsverse Kup, Scourge, Blurr and Rodimus:
Holy heck, Kup's partner is Shot Piece! :D
I am actually excited for these. They look cool!
Naturally FP's Sidearm (not-Firebolt) looks to be a superior sculpt but these are still pretty nifty. Assuming they are reasonably priced, I will probably buy all of them except Firebolt as I already have Sidearm.
Yep noted that above, though Scourges partner Broomstick is pretty amusing too, most people probably don't realise the "r" is there.:DQuote:

I do like them, I may pick up a set of these when they come out.
The Japanese exclusive Targetmasters were free at select outlets with a purchase. Kinda hard to beat that price. ;)Quote:

That is not an option nor a factor for people living outside Japan so it's totally irrelevant to us. We have to pay aftermarket or re-seller prices.Quote:
