kickback's chest
Stephen McCargar
I just bought a kind of crappy Kickback today. His entire chest is
missing, almost. His front chest plate is gone, so I'm wondering what
exactly was supposed to be on it. Is it something important or not?

Steve,
Sounds to me like you're just missing out on that yellow
chest door that all three of the regular Insections have. It serves no
real purpose, as far as I'm aware. The only important thing on it was
the Decepticon emblem.

the shoulders and hips).

Spacecase repaints as Spectre, Cutlass, and Phantom, all original
characters. Spectre is tan and silver with light blue trim, and can turn
intangible (like a hologram). Phantom can turn invisible. Cutlass is
tougher, and has a piar of swords in addition to the integral weopons, and
is the best in a knock down/drag out brawl with better armor and a piar of
smal energy-absorbant force sheilds that manifest on the forearms. Wow,
this is a long Quote.

More suggestions? I'll probably edit them a bit, but the original idea gets credited

No, the Insecticon designs came waaaaay before Capsela (I received my 1st
Capsella set 10 years ago). The chest compartments, like the Dinobots and other
TFs, come from a Japanese toy line known as Diaclone. They had little plastic
men with magnetic feet. They would pilot these non-sentient robots to combat
evil alien forces. Pretty neat...

been able to determine (and this includes Japanese people I've asked),
there never were any Diaclone cartoons to be dubbed! Now, these may
be Chinese-PRODUCED cartoons using the Diaclone designs (with or
without permission). That'd be something else entirely. I'm sure
we'll all be interested to hear about what you eventually receive...

That's what I was asking about, the Capsela pilots were only
mentioned because they fit and so could be assumed to be about the same
size as the original pilots.
