BotCon 2012 Toy Reveal – Heroic Treadshot

The fourth toy revealed in the BotCon 2012 box set is the Heroic Decepticon Treadshot. Treadshot is a remold of Reveal the Shield Special Ops Jazz, with a different head (possibly the alternate head created by Hasbro itself).  Treadshot is primarily blue and yellow (the same colors as Armada Side Swipe).

And he’s GORGEOUS.

Wow.  Wow wow wow wow wow!

This is what I want to see from the convention! This is an absolutely gorgeous toy. The blue body, the yellow windows and lights, the grey spoiler — this is not only a great homage to Side Swipe, but it’s also just a fantastic deco.  I admit that blue and gold is one of my favorite color schemes (thanks to being a Marquette Universe alumnus), but this isn’t alma mater bias speaking here.  This is just pretty.

And if the car mode is pretty, then the robot mode is just pure sexy.  Blue, yellow, black and grey (with a tad of red)… wow.  I can’t say anything bad about this toy.  The head is fantastic, the deco spot on, the color scheme drool-worth.

This makes up for any flaws in Gigatron and Soundwave.  Home run, man.  This is the home run I wanted for Metalhawk, and I got it with Treadshot.  Well done, Fun Publications.

Now, can I get a grand slam for Metalhawk?
