75C's Transformers Collection

Offshoot
"My true talents can be seen in battle"

OFFSHOOT is the twin brother of OMNICON SIGNAL FLARE. Like his brother, he is a skilled energon welder and weapons craftsman. Unlike SIGNAL FLARE, OFFSHOOT is not very dedicated to his work. He feels that welding ENERGON is more of a burdensome task then a true artform. He would rather fight in battle than work the energon mines. OPTIMUS PRIME has noticed this Omnicon's impressive fighting skills when thwarting TERRORCON attacks and has asked him to accompany his team on several offensives against the DECEPTICONS. Though a skilled warrior, OFFSHOOT often lets his guard down during battle when trying to impress his AUTOBOT comrades.

The box

Likes
- weapon does not have pinkish hue found in Signal Flare's version
- the blue colour is quite attractive
- transformation process is quite unconventional
- huge right arm allows for some dramatic posing

Dislikes
- very inarticulate - head can't turn, thighs can't bend backwards
- vehicle mode is not very intact and firm
- weapon is very lame - it is supposed to be some kind of elongated buzzsaw but comes across as an oversized squash racket
- Signal Flare's overall colour scheme is still better, due to a more coherent scheme.
