It's also possible that Hasbro thought that Bombshell was a politically incorrect name because bombs are bad mmmkay? Kind of like how Wheeljack was made evil because Wheeljack is an 'evil' name in Armada or how Slag was renamed Snarl because Hasbro reckons it is rude in England despite nobody complaining about him in the 80s when the character was very prominent there.

If it's because Hasbro objects to having the work 'bomb' in the name of a toy meant for children, then may I please direct Hasbro's attention to Article A:



Hasbro, this is your new toy, the 'Cobra Gunship'. Notice in the background how your toy has just laid waste to the Eiffel Tower, an iconic building that is visited by 18,000 human beings every day? And yes, it's only France, but can you imagine the uproar if - instead of the Eiffel Tower - you had the twin towers of the World Trade Centre being destroyed on the front of your toy box? Also notice that the fine print on the box says, "product shown in fantasy situation". Really, Hasbro? Your "fantasy situation"s don't involve, say... exhibitionistic acts with three sisters at once? And a midget? Your fantasy really involves destroying the Eiffel tower?

Okay Hasbro, in that case, every time you do something as dopey as change a toy's name to Snarl because we might think 'Slag' is a promiscuous woman or remove reference to a 'bomb' from the toy, I'm going to remind you of the time that you killed 1000 living souls on the front of a toy box meant for children. Kthanxbye!

I would say it's a scene from the movie, so as it hasn't been created specifically for the toy, it's justifiable by linking back to the reason the kid is begging the parents for it.... "I want the one that blew up the phallus!!!"

As for the name change..... It IS a GUNSHIP... proper military terminology stating exactly what it is, so the name is justified and proper, whereas "bomb" in a toys actual name can be replaced.

Got my G1 Ultra magnus today

Overall i'm extremely happy with him. Under $100USD shipped and the toy itself is absolute mint. No paint or chrome wear. stickers are perfect except for 2 lifting and 1 missing.

Box is pretty decent. i was hoping it would be a little better but at the same time the wear add a little character

What do you guys think?
