Today the Mach 5 Facebook page announced their second toy, a remold of their Gauntlet toy, called Piston. Piston is an homage to the Generation 1 Triggercon Crankcase.

Interesting. I doubt that anybody would have deliberately set out to
pay homage to Crankcase with a new design, but it's a good use of an
existing toy and a good way to try to amortize the production costs.
Too bad he doesn't have the spring-loaded Triggercon gimmick.
