Swung through three Targets an the last few days, and they each had a couple of Devcons on the pegs, and every single one looked like it came out of a box that had been punted off the truck and then kicked again out of the back room.
Yeah, the one I got also had box that was beaten up looking, but everything inside was fine.
So, now that I finally have a Devcon, somewhere in the dingy backrooms of my memory I seem to recall someone third-party had made a little Targetmaster buddy for him based on Slizardo. (My best guess would have been Prize Inside on their Shapeways store, but Shapeways is gone, so...) It's also possible I'm mis-remembering a digibash idea as actual product.
Can anyone weigh in on this? Does a little Slizardo buddy for Devcon exist, or is it just a cool idea that never actually got made?

I'd love an actual little figure for him, but Toyhax has a fun little sticker in their set for him:
$15 normally, on sale for $11 atm. There is hyperbole, and then there is pitching out to orbit. $90 is what you'd probably end up paying for the 3p Slizardo that barely counts as core class in size.
With a little paint, you could probably make a decent Slizzardo out of Legacy Iguanus. Just say he picked up an exo-suit or something to keep up with his partner.
Those customs out of Iguanus were among the first search results when I tried looking for the thing Haywire mentioned.
PrizeInside was (best that I can recall) Trent Troop.
He moved to Cult3D after Shapeways. I didn’t see a Slizardo on his page but I suppose you could email and ask him?
Googling also turns up (i think?) Ignash's RoGunners, which has a Slizardo (think it's just a green version of one of the RoGunners Targetmaster style molds) for Botcon Devcon.
I'm surprised Hasbro didn't read the (international) room and refrain from such a nationalistic release in this political climate (The wretched thing even has an arguably MAGA red hat on the top of the head) but at least it can be used (as-is or slightly repainted) as a stand-in for Blue-Bolts.
The weapon mode can hopefully be used with Ultra Mammoth maybe?
Failing that, there's an OSKO Blue-Bolts going around.

this is gonna be the first transformer to sell literally 0 copies outside the USA
And just like that…the Legacy thread has returned!
I don't like the mold enough to need another copy.
I don’t give a crap about politics. It’s a hideous color scheme on a mediocre mold that has a substantial chance to break itself.
Why was the Legacy thread bumped for this?
