    Default Sixth 2015 Subscription figure and mystery figure

    Just been spying on Twitter in and out of package pics of Krok and the mystery figure: who is a Nightracer made out of Tailgate.

    Check out @thatjohnd on twitter.

    Tailgate's partner is repainted as Shakar and is also female (like Nightracer)

    Bit surprised by Nightracer, to see them used that particular BotCon character to be honest. And not one of their own.

    Image mirrored here if there are issues with finding it on twitter.

    The partner robot (Shakar) is an anagram of Raksha, which was the username of an American fan who hosted BotCon 1995, of which the Nightracer toy was the exclusive for.

    I thought, Shakar is an odd name, and couldn't quite place the TF homage it was going for, despite at the same time thinking it odd that FunPub had used Raksha's character from her BotCon. But looking into it they have used Raksha's intended colour scheme for the character instead of the actual BotCon toy's yellow, so it is respectful.

    Spoke too soon... Just picked him up from the post office. And both wing bits are the wrong way around (like Nacelle.)

    Oh well.

    My Krok and Nightracer arrived today... plus the spares for two others... so keep an eye out for them if you are getting them.
