Design for leadfoot

Leader of the scientific expedition to earth. And one of the wreckers, a clan of autobot engineers known for their effective but explosive inventions. He might be a little rude but he means well

Leadfoot is an autobot from ark tyran, a different ark from ark primax, the one most of the autobots we've seen so far have come from. Tyran was once quite the prosperous place, but it quickly fell into decline due to ineffective leadership and was running out of fuel to keep going to the point where the titans that made up the ark had to split to form smaller vessels multiple times to gather energy and return to the ark to try to power it again. Until they encountered the quintesons, who tricked them into believing they were the creators of the transformers and enslaved ark tyran to serve their own pourposes

Leadfoot is one of a few escaped slaves from tyran and witnessed much tragedy as he and his fellow slaves fought for freedom. This tragedy has hardened him to life and never thought him any manners, due to his upbringing as a slave leadfoot is determined to never again allow someone to take his autonomy away. Growing his body and mind so he can overpower any would be subjugator, one day he will rally with his fellow autobots to take back his home armed with weapons of his design to a new age of peace but for now he readies for war.

Upon arriving on neighboring autobot space, leadfoot sought out the wreckers to gain the skills necessary to bring down the quintesons all by himself, ignorant to that fact that was impossible, but he worked hard and got in, and now works to fulfill his promises. But most often his nobel endeavors get misconstrued as rude and aggressive because he has an incredibly short fuse. Even getting the name of one of his machines wrong would be enough to set him off into a string of swear words, and insults, but as a wrecker the young Wheeljack looks up to him and wants to learn how to become a wrecker just like him.

At first he was annoyed at the constant pestering, but he starts growing on it after a while.

Transformers Multiversity!

Generation 2 - Autobot Bumblebee - Function: Espionage - Small, eager and brave, Bumblebee acts as messenger and spy. He idolizes the bigger Autobots, especially Optimus Prime and Prowi, and strives to be accepted. He is the most energy efficient and has the best vision of all the Autobots.

Drench from G2 because I think he's neat

[adam16bit]

These guys started shipping in July but I've only found Jazz in a store once - I've seen leftover Laser Cycles a few times, but nobody else from the deluxe wave other than one fortuitous sighting.

Good luck - hopefully Walmart has a reset coming up with an endcap of the gems of toys, but I'm not seeing much of anything other than one specific Walmart.

Design for Aquafend

He used to be a prolific gold medal winning athlete, but after a string of losses, he joined the aquaspeeders to find a new meaning in life, really taking to the teachings of tlalakan more than his teammates. but now, on earth with competitive bots around, he feels that spirituality that resonated so easily with him comes into conflict with his natural competitive spirit

Aquafend is the aquaspeeder's full time infiltrator and part time heartbreaker, he likes to play with people's emotions and dive behind enemy lines, thats not to say he doesn't value his relationships, he's just been blinded by an unearned sense of fame from being the gifted kid. Long ago, he used to be a racer from velocitron but felt the waters calling to him more than the roads and made a switch. At first, he was successful, but eventually, he hit the glass celling that velocitron only had eyes for racing cars, frustrated by the unfairness of the situation his performance began to suffer and looking for a way out of the whole planet he was looking on the extranet for any autobot team that would take him, where he met the aquaspeeders.

Because their relationship with each other isn't deeply personal, the aquaspeeders keep it professional. But aquafend likes to push it sometimes. He's something of a flirt, and speedstream has never outright turned him down (unlike many other bots in his life). but she is his boss and has been pushing him aside in favor of work. That work is saving the world, mind you, but the effect is the same on him. He feels more than a little neglected sometimes, but he knows he's playing a dangerous game as after his first commitment, changing carrers ended in failure. he's become afraid of commitment as a whole.

At first, he doubted dispensor's ability to turn the tide but hung out with them anyway as an excuse to tell a new person about the aquaspeeders' escapades so he could paint himself as some big hero, but as the Apocalypse on earth continues that image of himself begins to crack but tired of running away, he commits to it, seeing dispensor as the only one that can safe the world and pushes them towards reaching their full potential, after the pepsi incident is over, aquafend's new committed charisma is able to bridge the gap between the aquaspeeders and the stormtroopers allowing them to become permanent allies, as they've discovered a very important reason to say on earth.

Marvel Tales Of The Transformers Generation 2! Cover Date: November 1993 - Storylines: Final Transformations

Watching Bandai's Armored Core 6 PvP showcase. Looks like somebody's a fan of Transformers Generation 2 Megatron (or just liked the idea of inverted Eva Unit 01 colors).

New for G2!

Know what I haven't done in a hot minute? A Patreon-backed @tfwiki pic thread about toys from before the turn of the century! Ha haa god I'm old.

Anyway, let's look at some of the new toys made for GENERATION 2, easily one of my all-time favorite eras of TF. I was the exact target demographic for the original TF line, but it was just one of many toylines I liked. I never had a lot. But G2 came when I started having disposable income, and at the dawning of internet fandom, and the innovations it made turned me into a TF FAN and long-time collector.

And before we start, everyone give thanks to Takara designer Takio Ejima (江島 多規男). He designed SO MANY TFs from this era to today, and is responsible for creating the light-piping and balljoint articulation that first appeared in these years.

The "Autobot Cars" became instant favorites (especially Rapido). The European releases were called AXELERATORS (a far cooler name) and had gorgeous hot-pink translucent parts instead of the US versions' smoky black. (Skram, Windbreaker, Rapido (old pic), Turbofire (old pic))

Of course, the "Decepticon Jet" counterparts, aka SKYSCORCHERS, were also adored. Weapons stored in vehicle mode were still rare, and thankfully the US versions kept that lovely bright-green translucent plastic. (Windrazor, Terradive, Afterburner (old pic), Eagle Eye (old pic))

The LASER RODS didn't just have light-up parts, they were the first super-articulated TFs! They used the G.I.Joe O-ring and steel hips construction, which was very awkward and made standing them tricky. (Electro, Volt, Sizzle, Jolt)

Following up are the LASER CYCLES, which use the Cyberjet ball-joint tech for much more stable advanced articulation. Road Pig and Road Rocket (old pic) also keep their lights permanently plugged into their weapons, where the Rods had you move the light from engine to hand.

On the other end of the articulation are the GO-BOTS, small and simple toys designed to work with Matchbox/Hot Wheels-scale playsets. Gearhead here was first released with clear parts, then again in the second wave with opaques… the first of many, MANY redecoes for this lot.

(No really, the six Go-Bots were released in like TEN different decos each all told over the course of eight years. It's amazing the steel molds weren't cheese by the end of it.)

The last toys released in G2 (in the US at least), the AUTO-ROLLERS (Dirtbag & Roadblock) are absolute units. Their back/lower halves have involved gearing that, when you flip a switch, makes them auto-transform to robot when rolled forward, or to vehicle when rolled back.

There's loads more delightful toys in this line, but I've already done pics of most of them, like the water-shooters (sadly my US versions are pretty rough), Rotor Force, Heroes, and the Australia/New Zealand exclusive Power Masters. Try 'em, you'll like 'em.
