    The little guy in the packaging?
    I've honestly never heard the name either, so I'm guessing they couldn't use the original Targetmaster's name: Firebolt?

    I guess you might be correct in that Hursty... someone must've gotten the royalties and TM for Firebolt coz that certasinly looks to me a targetmaster partner. Offshoot (the name) was used in Energon series for one of the members of the Omnicons.... guess they couldnt find a newer name or they wanted to secure TM to the name so prolly why they used it instead.

    Wonder if they fixed the problem of him not able to hold his weapons......

    Has there been any confirmation on price yet (apart from what Krayt was told at the DOTM event)?

    Loving the gun details.... There was nothing to break up the Japanese gun, so a tiny bit of paint will make me happy.

    Interesting changes to colour, damn i wish we had pics of the back of the box to see carmode

    Agreed, I think it's Awesome that TRU is feeding us this info, just wish it was the new takara MP09 2.0 version, that's the one I'm super keen for.

    He looks amazing and especially enticing for MISB collectors. I think Hasbro have really outdone themselves this time by giving us a significantly different product with a few easter eggs, rather than the watered down arguably crappier versions we are used to.

    I on the other hand, will probably still grab the V2 Takara release over this guy because I don't own the mould yet and really want the trailer.

    So... it's Rodimus Prime without his trailer?! That's a shame. I'll just use it as Hot Rod I guess.
