Just been spying on Twitter in and out of package pics of Krok and the mystery figure: who is a Nightracer made out of Tailgate.
Check out @thatjohnd on twitter.
Tailgate's partner is repainted as Shakar and is also female (like Nightracer)
Bit surprised by Nightracer, to see them used that particular BotCon character to be honest. And not one of their own.
Image mirrored here if there are issues with finding it on twitter.
The partner robot (Shakar) is an anagram of Raksha, which was the username of an American fan who hosted BotCon 1995, of which the Nightracer toy was the exclusive for.
I thought, Shakar is an odd name, and couldn't quite place the TF homage it was going for, despite at the same time thinking it odd that FunPub had used Raksha's character from her BotCon. But looking into it they have used Raksha's intended colour scheme for the character instead of the actual BotCon toy's yellow, so it is respectful.
And here I am still waiting for Starscream... Ah well, should show up soon.
Me too... we all can't be as luck as Griffin :pQuote:

Got mine today, just under a week after Starscream.
No connection to Nightracer as a character, but I like the deco - works well. Will help pad out my Decepticons army.
Krok was one of the main draw cards for me for this TFSS, so I'm quite happy to have him on my Classics-verse shelf next to Botcon Spinister.
I picked mine up from the post office yesterday. apart from opening to make sure it's all there. I haven't spent any time with them yet. I'm currently stickering up my Generations Metroplex that I've had for over a year, while watching telly at night. as you could imagine it's not a quick process.
I'm still waiting for screamer, he's waaaay overdueQuote:

did you email or use their site form. It is very common for their site form to not actually workQuote:
