There's always that 3rd party set, the gears of war. But then you have a large ladder attached to his arm.
I have it on his back...don't even remember off the top of my head how it stays attached, but it does. Sure, it requires a bit of part-forming, but it looks a heckuva lot better.

You can't, you'd have to be a Japanese resident.

Maybe they're hinting at something?

Perhaps some Neo-classics Headmasters? With actual Headmasters?

It wouldn't be the first time we've seen Million Publishing tease about future releases through teasers. Afterall, the first hint they were doing Artfire was in their Generations book's comic.
I, for one, welcome Chromedome should he decide to make a Classics appearance.

Just don't be another Classics Hot Rod retool...

Here he's seen posed with their previous exclusive Stepper and G1 Chromedome.
Would love to have a Classics version of Chromedome and it's absolute silliness that SDCC and Botcon had nothing in works for our headmaster friends next year.

Or a Hasbro Commemorative Edition. He was supposedly on their short-list

waiting from there to here
It's been a long time
But Artfire's finally near
I'm excited. There's been a space by Stepper for almost a year now waiting to be filled.

And if I got him than I'd have to spend another 85 to get Stepper......Seperation anxiety, Ive seen it and its not pretty

No. There was a rumour there was going to be one, however that was a mis-advertisement. This is the only Artfire we'll be seeing for a while unless Encore puts one out.

This version of Artfire will include two partners, Nightstick and Sparks, and be a limited edition.

I don't trust that prodcut listing. Tfsource stated UN-32 Artfire turned out to be misinformation. Let me do some checking, but I have a feeling they just never updated their info.

There is no UN-32. It was believed that there would be a non-Million Publishing United Artfire that would be UN-32, but that turned out to be an error.Stormrider wrote:There is a UN-32? I haven't seen that listing.

I'm sure there'll be a UN-32 sometime in the future but it just won't be Artfire.

Maybe the recently rumored Hardhead or Reflector.

Thanks for clarifying. That's what I thought. I remember when this news came out people were so excited they kept referencing each other "UN-32". It makes it confusing to figure out what is fact and rumor.

Technically only Sparks uses a Mini-Con mold. Nightstick's the same mold that came with Universe Cyclonus, which wasn't a Mini-Con.Rated X wrote:Nice. I cant wait to get mine. They played off the crane hook real well with use of the mini-cons. But I wouldnt be suprised BTS does a repaint of their ladder upgrade with holes for the mini-cons to plug in.

The Stepper reissue was one of the most under appreciated shelf warmers of the past 10 years yet it was hands down one of the best reissues because they went above and beyond the call of duty with him by releasing him with Jazz's accessories in gold chrome (the original Stepper didn't come with Jazz's accessories).
Same goes for Star Convoy because the reissue had so many improvements over the original.

You're referring to the bookstyle, right? If so, yes - excellent reissue.
