    Well played, sir!

    Although I think Jolt had kinda been intended to be Classics-verse, in the same way that Big Daddy, Crasher/Fracture, Crankcase, Getaway were more like Classics toys, but forced into the movie line due to retailers wishes. And what will happen with any "Generations" toy that isn't Deluxe sized, like the G1 Legends figures, Sea Spray, Windcharger, Sandstorm, etc.

    Although Jolt, Fracture, Divebomb, Crankcase, etc were then all put into movie canon by IDW...

    I just know that when I think movie Ramjet, I think white Starscream. And, having set the precedent that the Coneheads need not look the same (Dirge & Thrust) I don't see a reason for the newest repaint to be Ramjet just because he's Black & White. Overall Hasbro's been doing a fairly good job of making sure we don't have multiple different versions of a character in the line (Evac, Dead End, Bludgeon, and Jolt excluded...)

    Next up for the 'twice in the same toy line' trick is Classics Dirge, who already got a figure in the 'Roadbuster/Dirge' two pack.

    I picked it up on a whim - as I said colours are much better in person.

    The rubber nosecone tip is a much softer rubber than Dirge.

    I got this. Great alt mode. Solid as. Bot modes average and I don't like the head at all. Weapons are a bit too Playskool.

    This failed the kid test at my place. Altho it was my eight-year-old son's choice for a birthday present he had stopped playing with it because of the fiddly transformation. Transforming the wings into the legs really did him in.
    So I traded him my Armorhide for Jetblade, the transformation of which he was able to grasp pretty quickly.
    So I wouldn't recommend this one for young kids.. say, under 10?

    Kids still buy Transformers, right? It's not just us grown-ups??
