Bigger than my haul:



Just got Autobot Rescue Force "Drillhorn." AHM #11 I got from Phantom Zone.

Here is my Haul:



Thanks to Iceburn, Kyle and Liege for the MP Roller, Dev parts and Micros.

Thanks to Skyshadow for the WST Prime and Pulse for spotting the Micromaster Combiner.

Thanks to Zed for the comic.

Smallest haul at the Fair yet...



roller: got you that fist for Devy you wanted - another right one though.

Whos the black seeker? he looks awsomely evil

[liegeprime]

That would be Nightfall Rampagesss. He's my official mascot, mostly appears in my haul pics for a year now. He's on my avatar as well .

I had him officially for me by Stencilator from leftover seekers when I commisioned for my own versions of the Botcon seekers back then.

With thanks to Gamblor and Tobler:

finally got myself ratchet and robot heroes sets

Is the Robot Hero called "Hard Shell" - Bombshell renamed ? If so does anyone know why ?

Fungal Infection - Nice Haul!

In response to an acquisition of four toys - Hardshell (Bombshell), Snarl (Slag), Sharkticon (Gnaw) and Perceptor (Perceptor), shouldn't you be asking why Perceptor is actually called by his real name, rather than why Bombshell isn't?

Yes, Hardshell is Bombshell - I'm assuming it will be a trademark issue as usual. My best guess as to why is that DC does have a Teen Titans character called Bombshell and thus perhaps Mattel has trademarked the name just in case they want to make a figure. I don't know why Hasbro went for 'Hardshell' rather than 'Decepticon Bombshell'. Maybe as a pun, because 'hard sell' has similar fiscal connotations to 'kickback'. Then again, who knows why Hasbro does anything?

It's also possible that Hasbro thought that Bombshell was a politically incorrect name because bombs are bad mmmkay? Kind of like how Wheeljack was made evil because Wheeljack is an 'evil' name in Armada or how Slag was renamed Snarl because Hasbro reckons it is rude in England despite nobody complaining about him in the 80s when the character was very prominent there.
