    Default Cannon Bored.

    As one of Cannonball's biggest fans, I... I... don't... like it.

    Seriously, I should be jumping for joy akin to when I did the Machine Wars theme, but this... why don't I care?

    What's wrong with me? Or more likely, what's wrong with the figure? Never have I owned the Prime Ratchet mold, (thus he's going to be another emergency vehicle) so he'll be all new. And yet... it does nothing spectacular for me

    Is it because he has both hands?

    One reason why this mould is a clever choice is because his hand can be swapped for a sword, to make him more Cannonball-like. Apparently at least one of the toys this year will be from Squadron X (i.e. Tornado), which - from Funpub - could be either very well done or a shemozzle.

    Yeah, I loved the Unicron-Trilogy Cannonball - thought he was an awesome toy! But I am also finding myself non-plussed. I think it's the swords and the visor. The original Cannonballs visor had silver around it on one side to give him a sorta pirate-patch look which this doesn't have, just a sharper angled visor and a big grin. Having the swords the same brown colour as his thighs and elbows is just silly.

    The American fans are going nuts over this figure for some reason.


    A follow-up tweet from FunPub claims that TFPrime Ratchet will be the only TFPrime mould used the Boxset. (their wording on a later tweet means that there will be more that aren't in the boxset)

    I like it. It's a figure I'd have bought if I saw on the shelf.

    I'd get that if a I found a reasonably-priced one.
