Now that I think about it, I'm actually a little surprised Hasbro didn't attempt to make Energon Duststorm and Cybertron Mudflap the same character in their attempts to reconnect Cybertron back with Armada and Energon in the English version, what with Duststorm and Mudflap both being cranes with...
Sure, that's fair. It's just, when goes to a Transformers convention, a cheeky little Mickey Mouse parody comic isn't something one would expect to receive as an exclusive. ;)
Archer Era Headmasters:
Armada Sideways mold
Armada Overload mold
Energon Omega Supreme mold
Archer Era Combiners
Armada Perceptor molds
Armada Sideways' Mini-Con combiner molds
Energon Perceptor molds
Energon Superion Maximus molds
Energon Constructicon Maximus molds

Regarding Sky Lynx, I see everyone praise him as one of the best Commander class figures, but I... just don't get it.
I have him, but mine just doesn't hold together. At all. The shuttle and base just do not want to stay connected in either vehicle or dino bird mode. The connector towards the...
