Carnivac had a decent run in the comics, your basic Wolverine type of character. I can't believe we've never gotten him out of any of the various wolf transformers.

We got a Carnivac in 1988. I'm not saying he couldn't use an update, but he's not a comic-only Transformer to begin with.

Not sure what I was thinking there. Forgot for a moment that we were talking about characters that never had a toy, not just ones that needed an update.

A rare toy is still a toy.

You are correct. It was unreleased. I didn't read the text under the picture beforehand.

Please do not take this as an insult to those who do like Animated, but I have just never liked the Motormaster design because I hate Animated aesthetics. The only animated toy I still have in my possession is a heavily customized Arcee figure that I turned into a new character with Prime Airrachnid's head.

That being said, I can respect what they were trying to do with him. They were trying to give him this big, bulky persona of a wrestler (which I despise wrestling as well so that's another negative against him) which I think they did a decent job with back with the original BotCon design. Hasbro was just trying to stay faithful to that original design, which even if you question the aesthetics, I think they did a good job of.

Honestly, it not looking quite right is part of the charm to me, since they're supposed to be undercover. It's just the right level of "off" to make him feel like something is amiss...

The box kinda makes me think of Scott Steiner's chainmail hood. Wrong wrestler (and Steiner's a dick), but I can at least sorta make a connection.

"You know, they say that all bots are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Optimus Prime and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another Cybertronian, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beatin' me. Then you add Sentinel Prime to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See, the 3-way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Sentinel KNOWS he can't beat me, and he's not even gonna try!

"So Optimus Prime, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. See, Op, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice!"

But neither of those can turn into a jet, or a horse (at least not a convincing one😆).

This conversation jogs my memory that I want Stardrive, they can even release two versions blue and turquoise and silver space knight (if licensing allows).

And while they do have Diaclone toys I don't have $500 to drop on them (going off of ebay), but I've wanted the triple changer jet/helicopter since I've laid eyes on it, and more recently Dia-Attacker who they used as Exarchon's original body.
