The announcement of the Dominus set inspired me to dog out my Punch/Counterpunch for a #deskbot today. I realize he& #39;s canonically an Autobot undercover as a Decepticom, but his figure& #39;s design makes more sense to me the other way around...

...He has this vestigal armored cockpit that gets clamshelled inside his car exterior in a way that reminds me of the G1 Dinobots& #39; Diaclone cockpits. Or of those insects that have outer wings/wingcases that mimic a different insect& #39;s appearance.

It seems to imply that his original Decepticon vehicle mode was some sorta small armored scout car thing & when he was modified to with an Autobot disguise he added a shell of "normal" car parts, but in his Decepticon mode (& during transformation) his original parts are visible.

Whatever. It& #39;s my headcanon. I& #39;ll read way too much into the subtle details of the toy designs if I want to https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">

Wow, there were a lot of typos in this thread. My new-ish phone& #39;s autocorrect/dictionary is apparently still getting used to... normal English grammar. Bleh.
