    But when it comes to someone like Mirage, who knows who's side he is on. I mean, Cliffjumper didn't even know

    My point is that guys like Mindset and Fallback makes it kinda hard to figure out what faction they're in, so the whole 'Reveal The Shield' thing would be cool except for the fact that they advertise the faction logo on the back of the card, which makes the whole thing stupid.

    It should be restricted to something insignificant, like drones or cannon-fodder redecos - like the Minispies from 1985... The toys themselves only had the rub sign, but were randomly packed in with other TFs toys, so you had to get them out and rub the black square to find out if you had another Autobot toy or Decepticon toy in your collection. It defeats the purpose doing it with established characters, or with the allegiance symbols/bios on the packaging.

    But I'm more annoyed that it means there probably aren't any allegiance symbols painted on these RtS toys, which I like seeing on them when displayed.

    So far with the current releases, they don't have the faction symbols painted on anywhere, however, Strafe sorta makes up for their absence in one go (biggest Autobot insignia ever - have a look at the wings!)

    Talk about hidden in plain site... I hadn't noticed that on Strafe yet. That is just bizarre.
