Just when things can't get any worse, Wheelie becomes excited at the return of “The Master”, as Megatron arrives.Ĭharacters Featured: Slapdash, Ironhide, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hubcap, Klammer, Wheelie, Lockdown, Bludgeon, Dead End Springer, Skywarp, Thrust, Tankor. Tired of not being trusted by the Autobots and barely being tolerated by them he's decided to return to his old friends, and sneaks to Bludgeon's base and betrays the Autobots presence.Īs the Autobots attack they're instantly deflected, with Springer shot down and Bludgeon kills Slapdash personally before attacking Hubcap. However, the group has a stowaway, Wheelie. Optimus, a select crew of Autobots and a NEST team led by Captain Klammer are now preparing a surprise attack. Unless you're as anal as me though this will do.Īrkhangelskava Oblast, Russia: Thanks to the work of Springer and Bumblebee the Autobots have tracked down Bludgeon's Command Hub. As such it should be noted that in previous issues the contents page has used slightly different titles ( A Nightmare B-4 Christmas instead of The Nightmare B-4 Christmas. "Transformers" and other indica trademarks of Hasbro and/or Takara.*Unusually the strip itself is untitled, this is taken from the contents page. Had the robot mode been a little better it would have gone a long way towards improving this toy - 4.5/10 I don't hate him - his car mode is pretty good, but overall it's not a toy I can get very excited about. Lube was repainted as Bullet in Japan.Īn engine cover that's surplus to requirements, a spoiler that's easy to lose and a bad robot mode all combine to make Slapdash a fairly uninspiring toy. The biggest problem is that if you have neither the engine cover nor Lube, you're going to be stuck with a really bad looking chest. Overall, I don't really like this robot mode. He's got rather blocky arms, and a very wide statue. His legs are way too big anyway, and his chest is small. Slapdash's robot mode has a few low points. The front spoiler forms a funny-looking groin. He's got his rear wheels on his shoulders - forming huge shoulder pads, and a red face. Lube, on his chest is dark grey, silver and orange and looks rather out of place (I prefer to put the engine block there). He's got grey elbow joints, yellow forearms and black fists. In robot mode, Slapdash is basically blue above the groin, grey at the groin and yellow below. There's a spot on his back for you to mount & store the rear spoiler and the engine block. Swing the forearms down and the fists out. Swing the arms out to the sides and then fold the two halves down to form the robot itself. Slide the legs down and fold the front spoiler up to form the groin. Fold the two haves down (if you don't have Lube, you'll have to press the little white button where he sits first). If you have him, make sure Lube is inserted. Remove the engine block and rear spoiler. The chrome on his back pretty much gives away that he's real, however. In a way the orange makes him look like a knock-off. His legs are a little long, and his limbs very bright, but he doesn't look bad, just a tad unusual. Lube has a grey torso, grey head, with a dark blue face and bright orange arms & legs. Overall, a good car mode, brought down by the fact he essentially has two engines. He's nice and solid, nothing loose, although the front spoiler can move a bit, it wont fall off or start transforming without help. He's got two Autobot symbols - one on either side of the headrest. Either Lube or the engine block look fine in the engine slot, it has to be said, even if Lube looks unlike any engine a F-1 racer would have. And it really looks bad on the back of the spoiler. The whole concept of an engine block in a Powermaster is pretty stupid, really. He has a detachable yellow engine block, which can go either behind the driver's seat or on the back of the spoiler (if Lube is present). Slapdash's front half is yellow, the rear blue, with grey front & rear spoilers. A blue, yellow, black & grey racer, with black plastic wheels (which account for pretty much all the black).
