groundhog7s Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 but in that case I go with Swordsman I thought it might be Swordsman too, but, to use your logic on Scorpion/Venom, AFX would show off his sword. I'm changing my opinion. I'm convinced this set is Power Pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDurg Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'm convinced this set is Power Pack. God no, I'd kill myself. Well, can't Gargan make the tail come and go as he pleases, if I'm remembering things correct. I can't see it being Swordsman, since I would imagine he'd also have a sculpted helmet.

Bob Harris Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I thought it might be Swordsman too, but, to use your logic on Scorpion/Venom, AFX would show off his sword. I don't think so. Hercules will come with his mace, but it's not shown on the picture. Scorpion's tail however would be, I guess. I can't see it being Swordsman, since I would imagine he'd also have a sculpted helmet. I thought about that as well, but it would only have minor detail and for that it might be the shadow picture that doesn't show off those details in that angle. Who else would fit in a box set with Radioactive Man and Penance? The ones I mentioned above - aside Venom instead of Swordsman being the one on the right - don't fit those characteristics. I also tried to outline the four figures, since it's pretty distractive. The sculpted head and those mighty boots the mate on the bottom should help us to figure this one out, right?

vbpanizzi Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Okay I will through my hat and two cents in... Penance for top middle is a lock. The bulky one on the left could be Radioactive man or Headsman (He too, has a hood and something strapped to his back.) The Right most character could be Paladin, Swordsman, Nightwawk, or Atlas. The front middle could be Black WidowII(She is the current leader and we just got the other BW), or Green Goblin unmasked (the only "Target Exclusive" we have yet to get.)

winkerbean Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 the front one could be songbird but with her hair in a ponytail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Bob, I had thought paladin also, but also thought it could be Nighthawk. It's the stuff between his arms and chest that make me think it's some sort of cape or wings or something. And I'm starting to think the one in front could easily be Mac Gargan Venom. I can't wait to see that we're all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 the front one could be songbird but with her hair in a ponytail I thought that too. I guess I'm the only one that really dislikes Penance and would be super, super disappointed to get a Minimate of him. Speedball forever!

Monkey Lord 5000 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Does anyone else think the one at the front is holding something?(hint to swordsman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrobotC Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Thunderbolts. Dear God let this be Thunderbolts!!! I'd love a Penance. And the spiked helmet does give me hope, I could live without a Radioactive Man, but I hope we get Penance. Maybe the larger guy is Gargan? i think its gargan,but then the head is too plain,like they would put a helmet on him if it was venom/gargan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I think they will call this a Thunderbolts set and will have a mix of former cast: Top - Penance Left - Radioactive Man Right - Beetle Bottom - Baron Helmut Zemo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I guess I'm the only one that really dislikes Penance You are not alone. He's too emo for words... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) I don't see why there is a discussion either. It is clear as day that the mates in this set are as follows: Arnim Zola Baron Zemo Ultimate Arnim Zola Purple man And yeah, Penance is not cool. He may have a neat new costume and hang out with cool villains, but he is still speedball under the costume. And speedball is a bumbling idiot and he caused the civil war.

Twisted Two-Face Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I think they will call this a Thunderbolts set and will have a mix of former cast: Top - Penance Left - Radioactive Man Right - Beetle Bottom - Baron Helmut Zemo I agree with ALL of these EXCEPT Beelte. I think, knowing AFX, we'd see wings. It might be Gargan, but i'd rather see Paladin. I think it's Atlas. Which'll suck. I love how we all disregarded the fact that Zemo was the original "leader" of the team. I mean really?? He wore a jacket, had a "sculpted" helmet, and has been on our effing wish lists for a LONG time. This is looking to be a more-classic team, so he was obvious.

cesium salami Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I don't know about Penance. Why would the spikes not be on the left side of his head? And the one with a cape/wings doesn't make any sense. I could see a War of the Kings set out of this too, as it is the companion crossover to Dark Reign right now. The one one the right could be Black Bolt or Darkhawk. The one on the right could be Ronan the Accuser, and would explain the shoulderpads. The one on the bottom could be anybody, and the top...Starlord, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzerd Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I don't think Ronan's hood would have those wrinkles on the sides of them And the spikes do appear to be on equal sides of the head, the mate just isn't facing directly forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDurg Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Knock it off guys. You're just gonna hurt his feelings and make him bash his head against the wall again... lol, but he's gotta' do deep stuff!!! Honestly, I think he's damn cool character. He has one of the best costume designs ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 As much as I sympathize with the guy, that last panel was the last straw for me. "Their blood is on my hands, I'll feel their pain every time I throw a punch"? Okay, even I found this kind of silly-sounding. Does that make me a bad person?

The one on the right is the real mystery. It really looks to me like he has a half cape or some type of wings. Of all the Thunderbolts, Penance and Zemo are the most recognizable so I'm fairly certain they would be included. Who else? Maybe Atlas, but I would think they would use "duck feet" as part of the design. I think the person on the RIGHT is flying. Look at the position of the feet. This is what they do with flying characters. Edited April 18, 2009 by Jatta Pake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, didn't realize that Ahhnuld, Sarah, Miles, or T-800s could fly. You'll believe a robot can fly... I definitely agree with that the two on the left look like Penance and Radioactive Man. No idea who the two on the right are though. In any case, I really need Songbird and Moonstone to go with them. Come on DST, more Thunderbolts! This may be my favorite set to date if we're getting all thunderbolts. Hopefully we get Swordsman in this set, as I don't see him getting made in a regular wave (whereas Zemo, Atlas, and some of the others seem more likely).

TENIME_art Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I need help getting the SDCC exclusives, and I made this thread for anyone else who needs help, as well as those who can offer their help: http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.php?showtopic=5898 I pray the thread is pointless, as the "limited to 2,000" means they'll still have enough to sell on their site, but just in case...
