TFC #20 is announced to be Kup and Wheelie some time back..Expecting it to be available some time ard august or so..For myself i would rather takara release a targetmaster Kup rather than add in an 'ugly-looking' Wheelie in the TFC line.. :mrgreen:

[Stunner24]

Yeah.....then I can place side by side with my vintage TM Blurr ;)

The e-Hobby repaint of TFC #20 Char (Kup) & Wheelie is finally revealed to be Orion Pax...and Dion!

For those clueless, Dion was Orion Pax's good friend, along with Ariel. After being severely damaged by an attack on the factory where they worked by Megatron, Alpha Trion rebuilt Orion Pax into THE Optimus Prime, and Ariel into Elita-1. Dion was fan-speculated rebuilt into none other than Ultra Magnus, supported by the seeming "brotherhood" (Dreamwave and inner robot reference) and "old friendship" (quote Optimus Prime in The Movie).

So, Ultra Magnus was a Wheelie repaint? No wonder he couldn't deal with it :laugh:

[Godmaster]

Hahaha.....Wat a name..I haf no comments for it..This ehobby version looks...colorful.. :laugh:

So is Dion a former of Ultra Magnus anot? :shock:

So is Dion a former of Ultra Magnus anot? :shock:
There is no official word on it. But if Dreamwave had continued, I believe it would have been truely official (I say "truely" since Dreamwave is no more). In one of the Dreamwave stories, Ultra Magnus's team was called Team Dion -- blatent reference to the fan speculation that Magnus was Dion.

Prior to the current popular belief that Magnus was Dion, it was previously thought that Dion might have become Ironhide. I believe this was the more popular belief, until the Movie and Dreamwave established Ultra Magnus and Optimus as "brothers".

Yeah yeah.... Book 21. The last time I remembered they're talking abt Minibots, Part 2.

I just hope that they will release at least 1 Headmaster & Powermaster under the Book Re-issue series. Then can place all the mini little "masters" beside one another :hello:

Sigh..... wonder how long are we going to wait :(

[Stunner24]

[Stunner24]

[Stunner24]

Just got this. Sad to say, see very few pple there :( Seems like this piece is not well-received :(

Anyway, if you see the background of the cardboard, it depicts the tyre tracks of both Kup & Wheelie and they've beautifully packed in such a way that these guys are skidding along the way.

Wow :o
