Buzzer's as worthy as any 1982-1986 Cobra character IMHO. The Dreadnoks were significant players. Hasbro's said they are continuing the line into 2008...more time to make more Dreadnoks. Making one Dreadnok for starters is not odd to me, they certainly did that in the "new sculpts". Making just Tomax or Xamot without the other brother...that would be odd. Keep in mind UK and Europe fans never got vintage Torch in Action Force, just Buzzer and Ripper!

Likewise, South America never got Buzzer and Ripper...of course their characters and "universe" were bit different there.
I like Bludd, too, and would be happy for a good since I didn't like the DTC one. But some characters can be saved for next year. I think they are over-rangering the line already by making both Stalker and Beach-Head (if that is who they are making)...I think a good ol' helmet G.I. type needs to be in the line-up.
Another forum showed the cardback Serpentor sillouette to match the shape of the "Order of Battle" artwork for Serpentor.
I don't even comprehend the "dead character" stance. Especially since these are tributes to the past, not even a new storyline series. I've never heard of any other fandom where some fans won't buy figures of "dead" characters. But everyone collects in their own way.
In the Q&A, didn't Hasbro more or less say that things like Tiger Force and Python Patrol wouldn't be done anytime soon?
Also, I don't care about the wolf's color.
The archer ninja? Don't know...don't much care...too many ninjas already.
