I haven't picked up any of the the Combiner Wars figures but I'm looking forward to First Aid mainly because I like him in that G1 episode "The Ultimate Weapon".

Happy

^ "The Ultimate Weapon" is my second favorite G1 episode, only behind "The Return of Optimus Prime".

As for Offroad, more than anything, I like his face. He just has this really pleasant, satisfied look that befits a Stunticon.

The bio is what really made

The bio is what really made me fall in love with this guy. The idea of a new super chrasimatic Stunticon who is just a little too eager to replace Wild Rider just makes me wonder about how he stalked Wild Rider to the point of actually BEING Wild Rider.

But that's just me.

IDW'ed

The Combiner Wars comics from IDW explained that Wild Rider 'quit' the Stunticons following their first Menasor stint in the ongoing comic, and Offroad's his replacement. Not as dramatic as Slingshot being near death, but a cheeky 'limb swap' to justify the new mold for every other off-road truck/combiner limb.

This figure looks good, but I'm holding off for First-Aid!

Yeah, I read that issue after I got the figure.

I like my version better.
