At first I thought it might be an Arms Micron repaint of Ultra Magnus, but with the United designation I'm baffled.

Also interesting to note UN-32 is 59.95 vs. 139.95 for the Million Publishing version. I have to think this is a mistake of some kind, I mean Takara wouldn't directly compete with on of their partners like this. Maybe it is refering to one of the PCC sets.

I was trying to make it a United EX release of Smolder or Stakeout. But the number is wrong, price is wrong, and there's no "Master" in the name.

Maybe the Million version comes with the PCC Mini-Con Targetmaster extra and the United version only has a Nightstick and maybe minor deco differences?

-------------------- "When there's gold feathers, punch behind you!!"
. "Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." -- C.S. Lewis |

Random speculation!!!!
It's priced as a Voyager, but United has already given us Deluxe molds at the Voyager price tag. Although, what did these releases have in common? They were all Cybertron Deluxe molds that were not released in Japan. Alright then. Which Cybertron Deluxe was not released in Japan, and would fit a robot named "Artfire"? Any fire trucks? No. A car? Actually yes. Downshift. An odd choice, yeah. But wait a minute. There was something else that those United Deluxe-as-Voyagers had in common. They each used the existing paint masks that the US releases had. Well, then... Downshift didn't have any flames. I guess that rules him ou-- Oh wait. Hasbro released him as Big Daddy! Hello flames! They're not on the hood, but the ones on the side of the car are a fair enough match for the ones on the side of the Spychanger. Hmmm... Still weird, but I suppose if you squint Downshift's head looks sort of like the CR character... So in conclusion, random speculation says that it's Downshift in black and white with Big Daddy's flames and other paint masks. Yeah. That's it.

So, basically, you're suggesting they flip the white & orange from BD for something like this? Can't as say I much like the result, but I wouldn't be buying it anyway, so *shrugs*...

The price point definitely says bigger than Deluxe.
This is really confusing. Randy -------------------- |
