Last time there was one was almost a decade, right?

Yeah the collector's club exclusive that was a slight retool of the car mold that they used a lot. I mean something more of it's own toy that isn't just a mold that has been used a bunch with a new head.

Because it would be difficult to develop a figure with 2 robot modes, and even more difficult to come up with possible retools to reuse the mold.

That was 10 years ago, and Hasbro is more interested in any given figure's redeco capabilities over anything currently.

Soo to the others who own PotP Hun-Gurrr, what is the selected prime for it? I want to see if any of them are stronger than Vector Hun-Gurrr.
