Velocitron Surprise!

So I finally opened the speed set I picked up on clearance last week.
When transforming Quickswitch, there was a second Rodimus Prime titan master hidden inside his helmet!

This is awesome, now I can display him simultaneously in head mode AND be one of the more colourful Hasbro TMs in little robo-mode

Re: Velocitron Surprise!

Did this happen to anyone else? I remember it being reported that POTP Micronus allegedly sometimes had an extra PM inside the pretender shell

Re: Velocitron Surprise!

Did your set also come with Quickswitch's Titan Master, or was it replaced with the second Rodimus?

When I picked it up, there was enough re-taping evidence on the box seals to make me nervous about something like that (contents not being 100%, etc)

But yes, all four TMs were included, in their regular spots on the insert - this extra Rodimus head was a surprise, found inside Quickswitch's helmet during transformation

Re: Velocitron Surprise!

That is an awesome bonus!

Now that these sets are being sold again, I aim to find someone who wants to sell their Nautica.

I *DID* get a special surprise in my Velocitron set!!

Quickswitch came with two fewer wheels than he was supposed to!

Re: Velocitron Surprise!

For a set I initially passed on, I am really warming up to it in hand

RP -> colourful (a big plus for Hasbro TMs)
Fastlane -> Kind of stodgy, his spoiler pops off incredibly easily
Nautica -> being able to pose it yourself really helps this fig, the promo shots of her look pretty horrid
Laser Prime -> face is awesome, sword is awesome - stickers are pretty bad (as expected), thinking I might try removing some and double-sided-taping them down more securely
Quickswitch -> limbs are a bit loose, but the Sixshot mold is nice, colours are cool
