That for sure helps. Not being US releases AND not being a fan favorite figure(like some other international only figs were) is a major reason he passed me by in awareness.
As soon as I read Powermaster I looked closer so thanks for reading my mind(or fully reading I felt it was more Throttlebot-esque).
I attended 10 Botcons consecutively from '99-'08 and can't say I ever saw one of these G2 Powermasters at any dealer. Maybe its cause G1/BW/BM/RID then Movie were the big fan draws and dealers catered there.
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
Bit of a shame the G2 toys/characters were never really promoted in any media outlet; some of them showed up in the short-lived G2 comic book, but that was mostly concerned with continuing the story of G1 mainstays like Optimus and Grimlock, and the Generation Two cartoon was just G1 with CGI interstitials awkwardly woven throughout the episodes.
Take my dreams, childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze, please just be there for me
My inner child is screaming at the Shockwave figure with the prisoner Prime head.
Ohhh, the poor Optimus Prime figure my cousin and I broke to replicate that plot LOL!
Skybound is reprinting marvel and gijoe comics.
Omar talked about this on near mint today. Said he is still not allowed to talk about it till its announced by skybound but this looks like was not supposed to be announced yet. Second time hasbro leaked comic news!
As for reprints hope the universe handbook and uk comics are included and the transformers and real ghotbusters uk crosover is not left out or the gijoe shang chi crossover.
