As one door opens, another closes. While not officially confirmed, there are abundant rumors that Transformers: EarthSpark will end after Season 2 - just as we're gearing up for Transformers One and all its merchandise. The cancellation rumors led me to splurge on the import TakaraTomy version of Hashtag. Modern Transformers figures are typically released by both Hasbro and TakaraTomy using the same general molds, but often sporting paint variations. I wasn't planning on getting this TakaraTomy Hashtag because she is a distinct dark blue instead of her on-screen purple deco. But I fear the purple Hasbro version may never be released. The most recent EarthSpark releases have been very scarce at retail, and I wasn't about to let this character pass me by. Hashtag is a bit of a modern character stereotype. She is the tech-savvy cool hacker character, which is a dime a dozen character description these days. But I am really drawn to her design and this figure is a very fun representation of her.
Hashtag comes with two guns.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Hastag with her Tacticon figure from last year.
Here are my three Warrior/Deluxe scale TakaraTomy EarthSpark figures so far: Nightshade, Hashtag, and Elita-1.
Here are all the Warrior Class Earthspark ladies so far. From Left to Right: Hasbro Twitch, TakaraTomy Hashtag, TakaraTomy Nightshade, TakaraTomy Elita-1, and Hasbro Skywarp.
Cheers!
