I didn't even know about this since I wasn't following Classified at the time, but dayum!

Yeah, I would gladly take any of those. Probably two or three of the different versions...
 
I still laugh that so many wanted the purple one because they misread tactician as technician and thought it would go better with the colors of techno vipers. The red and black was a better color way to match the Hiss.
 
Oh shoot, there were FIVE, that's right! In my memory there were only three options. I do think the most thematic won, and he looks PERFECT with the tank, but I dug the others, too. (The purple was my least favorite, and while he makes no sense, the midnight blue really sung to me.) I could see them dropping Charlie or Echo as a regular line figure, though.
 
Yeah, Charlie and Echo are very cool. I would go with 'Alfa', but whichever they do, if they do, I would be very happy.

I voted Delta because he reminded me of a grape Jollyrancher.
 
I'm kinda surprised Alfa and Bravo didn't split the vote looking back - more red piping on Bravo but both similarly slick designs.

EDIT: Looking at the promo shots... I have been criminally neglectful with not putting batteries in the tank. I have so many childhood memories of batteries leaking and destroying toys that I never leave batteries in casually but that also means I never just... y'know, push the fricken button and enjoy the tank.
 
Dammit... how am I going to save up enough to pay for the Snow Cat AND buy all the SDCC exclusives I want AND pay for all the preorders that inconveniently come in at exactly the same time. SIGH.
 
Not terribly interesting but I removed Darklon's arm to figure out why it kept getting stuck, and it's just an overly-tight shoulder disc. I wonder if Raptor had the same issue. Slicing into the sides of the disc with a knife I can see a thin layer of plastic that was maybe cut but got stuck somewhere. This line would be 10/10 if I didn't have to disassemble and fix/improve something every five figures or so.

Think of how much fun it will be when you take it outside and fly it around while making plane noises with your mouth!

It's truly what I want to do. There was a sprinkler hitting the sidewalk the other day and people were avoiding it even with the heatwave, and I just danced right on through. I don't care. It felt so good. I could just feel my inner child.

You're right. I'm going to keep it and I want to swoosh that thing.

I'm also glad that the Baroness vest comes off. I don't think Glenda's does, and it was a concern of mine.
