It isn't surprising that it is a mirrorverse character, as they managed to squeeze in a couple of toys in this final set from their two original story universes - pre-Beast Wars, post-Animated and Shattered Glass. Anyone else who does a toy of those themes (like the MP Shattered Glass Optimus last year) are homaging FunPub's input into the Transformers Universe.
The character (to me) just doesn't look right... it is the wrong alt-mode and robot mode... to me at least... so I just don't "feel" it.
Anyway, when it starts arriving at Australian houses, I guess we can talk more openly about it (but I doubt it, as there probably won't be anyone left who doesn't know who it is).
I wonder how many people here are getting this fifth subscription set. I wonder if it is even more than five.... and how many of those will be genuinely surprised when it arrives in a couple weeks time.
I couldn't wait so I had to find out. I'll admit it definitely surprised me as I thought the same (regarding Sunstorm). I'm happy with it though I may use it as something else and not the character it's meant to be.
