Toy Review - TFSS: Timelines Treadshot with Catgut

[griffin]

It looks nice to me in robot mode, as does Catgut. Just not a fan of the alt-mode choice, since the Gen1 version was supposed to turn into a revolver, which obviously limits the options to do a Classics Treadshot.

I will either be really picky or really excited about this figure when I get it, as Treadshot was my first AM toy, and the only US AM toy I had during the Gen1 era... so I'm quite sentimentally attached to the original, making me more critical of any attempted homages (like with Circuit from last year, which was the only other AM toy I had during Gen1).

Hence why I thought the Classics Megatron figure that turned into a blaster might be a good choice for him, though those big side-wing things can be off putting. Plus that figure had a helmet and similar calves

I'm unlikely to get this toy, so if anyone would care to post a comparison photo of it w/ G1 Treadshot on this thread, please feel free.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the mold choice on this guy given the lack of recent gun transformer toys, but a new head sculpt would of definitely sweetened the deal for me too. They may end up using the mold again for Gutcruncher (hopefully with a new head) but who knows

A few more pics of Treadshot and Catgut here in the Action pose thread + a few with Generations Warpath
