Botcon 2009 Exclusive Flak Revealed
...In some odd way, that reminds me of the snow vehicle (snow cat?) from the original 80's run on GI Joe.
I've seen more than a couple of people mention the resemblance to Movie Wreckage.
Wreckage - Movie Main Line - Transformers Resources
With the white, grey, and red accents, I don't think they're far off.
Flak is probably my favorite figure out of the boxed set revealed so far (I'm still having trouble deciding if I like Skyquake and Leozack more or less due to using the Energon Starscream mold). And I love CD Scattorshot's mold!
I've always liked this mold, but I don't think I'll go out of my way(and my wallet) to get this. I love the name Flak too...always have.
The color scheme is definitely complimenting...but as someone who doesn't collect many TF figures, it's hard for me to see picking this up as the same mold is shelf warming at my local target.
This is the only figure I like from that entire boxset. I am SO glad I decided not to order this at the last second!
