    Did the rattler have those winged cobra logos? I don't remember them. I guess the red chest is designed to evoke wild weasel? Not sure I like that.

    Also, some day groove will get a good toy, but it IS NOT THIS DAY!

    Warpath is exceedingly whatever.

    Viper is cool. I hope that mold gets repainted as Hothouse and possible Tailwind (though he got somewhat similar colors) somewhere down the line.
    Not very impressed by Groove.

    Yup! The winged Cobra insignia is the symbol for the Cobra Air Force which is on the Rattler toy. Not just the chest but also the head is also similar to Wild Weasel's.

    Yes the Rattler has the logo on its left wing and the right one says Z 06
    The only difference being the obvious decepticon logo centered in the cobra logo.
    But it is THE Rattler!
    Great idea from Hasbro/Takara and who knows we might get more of this idea..

    Groove looks interesting.
    Warparth I might get as I don't own the two previous Classics versions.

    So Viper is a nod to Wild Weasel and the Rattler. Pretty neat but I don't think I'll get him. Wild Weasel's face fused with Powerglide's head ehhhh dunno about that. Groove has a pretty cool bike mode but not liking the robot mode so much(at least with these stock photos). Warpath I'm getting for sure. Not exactly what I was hoping for but he still looks pretty good to me, no where near the level of the Gen or the Legends, but still a descent looking figure.

    Viper would probably work well as a gun for Bruticus

    I must have Viper. I instantly fell in love with him in Battle Tactics, and this is a repaint that has long time in coming. And as optimusmegas pointed out, pure genius in having Powerglide's face remolded to look like Wild Weasel. And due to the main colors, it can act as a pseudo nod to Tailwind too. Epic win all around with this guy.

    Groove is definitely a must, as he seems that he might be fun to mess around with.

    That Warpath is still a pass for me (damn what a missed opportunity in getting Slammer out of that mold).

    Let's see

    Viper: YES for the novelty of it
    Groove: love the concept of it being smaller than the rest, but the Geewunner inside needs it to be a limb.
    Warpath: NOPE NOPE NOPE. Need the cannon on the chest.

    Looking at it again, I'm wondering if maybe they missed a step on Groove and his legs aren't meant to be that long. The feet look like they were possibly meant to touch the wheels, so that black extension that serves to elongate the legs at the bottom possibly moves up somehow. If this were true, I think it would make Groove a lot more aesthetically pleasing for me and probably a bit more stable, as well. Just a thought.

    Oh wow. Viper is definitely coming home to my collection!

    Love the homage to GI Joe. All it really needs is the gattling gun under the nose cone... :p

    Possible. Then they'd have to come up with a sixth member for the Technobots.

    Viper will look great next to Serpent O.R. from the Club. I think these could be a preview of more cross overs done right!
