We didn't get the best figure in TF Attacktix

[thecasualoblivion]

If what we saw at Botcon was right, the best figure in Transformers Attacktix was not included in wave 1.

That figure would be Strongarm

Lets look at the stats:

Medium Base
10 move
20pts
Striker Axe
Recover: Leader

Don't know what the success rate of the recover would have been, but looking at other 20pt strikers, 31%(8/26) seems reasonable, but even less than that would be still worthwhile, and more than that would rival a lot of the best SW Attacktix 20pt figures. Any way you slice it, this would have been the best figure in TF Attacktix. It has a solid striking weapon for multiple kills, which only the easily killed and overpriced Scourge currently has. It has Recover: Leader, working well with fellow Autobots Overhall and Super Optimus Prime in all of his molds, which are quality figures. The recover power would also work with other great figures like Princess Leia, S4 Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, Yoda, ect...

Please give us this in the next wave!!

I completely 100% agree that if strongarm had came out with the stats we see from the figure in the glass case, he would be the best TF figure out there.

The only thing that could make him even better than what we have seen, would be a change to attackback. Then he would be able to give those guys from a far far galaxy a real run for their money.

I third this sentiment. After looking him over carefully, it looked like his strike would put Battle Ravage's and Scourge's to shame, and his special power would allow him to be integrated into a Star Wars or Marvel team as easily as a Transformers team. I'd even argue that unless he were to give an Attackback to multiple figures from an Attacktix class, his Recover would be a fabulous power to have.

Needless to say, he'll be a much-wanted addition to my nascent Autobot army

That certainly would've been a great figure for the Autobots. I expect it to be in the next series since (I think) we've yet to see a figure on display that didn't end up for sale.

That is a good point... But we had seen arcee and strongarm before (wasnt it at that big new york toy show?), and they didnt come out. So, lets all cross our fingers and hope that the second time is a charm.
