You can tell whoever named this guy doesnt listen to hip-hop !!!
Anyways, I bought Dropkick and Salvage so I think ill pass this one up. I really wish they would stop issuing repaints combined with figures that most people already bought. And can someone please tell me what they mean by "Super Tuner" ???

It refers to "tuned-up" or "tricked-out" cars/trucks.
I think I'll pass on this one. But, I may change my mind when it's in my hands, though!
Oh yeah, one more thing; what a terrible name for Blowpipe! They couldn't come up with anything better??

They did NOTHING to change Sideways, which is pointless because a lot of us already bought the single version, or Dead End (or both), so there's no reason there. They could of done another repaint/rename if nothing else. Or even just a repaint and play it up as being rebuilt from being sliced in half. They did it for Jazz toywise!
Name aside, Blowpipe looks good, and at least it's a good mold (other than the stupid weapon, thankfully he's got other guns). But it costs too much to get for just him, and I have Dropkick.
Fails in comparison to the Hoist vs Mixmaster set, which at least gives us a new character (in a redeco we long expected for the mold) and a new homage repaint on a VOYAGER figure. Pass.

And which variant comes with Blowpipe? Silver or dark silver?

Looks like the dark version. Autobot Strike Mission is also the dark version, with battle damage.

Certainly looks like the dark one is now the de facto 'proper' edition, and the lighter one is the 'variant'. I remember when the first wave came out, the darker one was a lot harder to find, now the light ones are being outnumbered.
I'm assuming the change was made to help avoid confusion with the similarly-coloured (and similarly-named) Sideswipe toy.

Good thing I'm skipping him in favor of Dead End then Would be interesting to hunt down the silver variant though...

Poor Windbreaker - he certainly gets a rough time of it. Personally, I also think the people who came up with the toy names 'Erector', 'Lube', 'Gas Skunk' and 'K-9' also need to be bounced quite vigorously.
And I know that 'Spinister' is a play on 'spin' and 'sinister', but it also sounds dangerously close to the rather-less-than-macho 'spinster'!
Also of course, 'Slag' is a slang term for a harlot in the UK, and also over here 'Headmaster' is what we Brits call a school principal. So every time I hear mention of a headmaster, it conjures up terrble memories of Mr. Ward, the bane of my schooldays. Yikes!
