    Really wish I could afford to get Kup and Hot Rod.

    But $40 per deluxe figure just isn't in my budget w/my wife out of work. :sad:

    really looking forward to getting Kup, glad that I held off getting the Hasbro version.

    For Hot Rod, I think I prefer the Hasbro version ... hope Hasbro releases the Targetmasters some how but not sure how they would attached though as there is no slots for the guns >_<

    I'll probably learn to live with -- and maybe even like -- the clear hood. But the headlights being half and half is really unfortunate.

    The clear chest is growing on me. It will depend on how it looks in hand. Chances are Reprolabels will have a cover up option.

    I keep waiting for news of a TT release for Fangry/Wilder (so the Headmaster Jr characters will all be accounted for after the God Ginrai release) and still nothing. It seems odd to exclude him. I wonder if it's because they really do have plans to remold Doublecross into Fangry, and the little Fangry would be the extra weapon like all of the other show Headmasters got.

    I'll say it again: Fangry only needs to be a Weirdwolf repaint/remold with a detachable wing backpack in doggie mode. That would be much better than what would be needed to make the Doublecross mold work.

    As for Rodimus, at least he isn't true red. I'd still much rather someone do an anime accurate magenta Hot Rod, but that is a pipe dream, alas.

    I'm guessing that when they get to Blitzwing or Octane, that one of them will come with the Frangry Titan Master Vehicle / Monster. Kind of like Broadside with Repugnus'.

    The silhouette of doublecross is much more accurate to fangry though and aside from minor stuff he just needs new robot mode arms and a wolf head, look at the level of retooling has/tak does these days and that's really not a whole lot

    Especially considering we have yet to see a reuse of the Doublecross mold.. or Weirdwolf, either, now that I mention it.

    Fine, Horri-Bull out of Weirdwolf, Fangry out of Doublecross, Squeezeplay out of Skullcruncher. The Trifecta. Then chase it with Hosehead from Kup, Minerva from Hot Rod as well as a Nightbeat, and Siren from Chromedome.

    I'm usually ok with most of what TakaraTomy changes, but yeah that one is a bit bizarre. Still going to try and grab it.

    The clear flame on LG Hot Rod's chest is actually the highlight of the figure for me.

    I would have been less inclined to pre-order him without it.

    Agreed. I think it's a great change that offers something unique on a Hot Rod figure we haven't seen before.

    I can see why people nag on it since it's not really accurate to anything in a line that's all about cartoon accuracy but they pulled it off so well that I can't be mad about it.

    It's insane how much better these look than the ones we get by hasbro. Really wish they weren't twice the price.

    i dont think that scourge comes w/sweep headmaster for the rerelease, just like the blurr rerelease image indicates you need doublecross for the targetmaster, this image indicates you have to buy the sharkitcon to get the sweep headmaster

    Considering that it's exactly like Blurr/Doubecrosses I have to agree.
    If he came with the Sweep head there would be no need for Sharkticon to be there. God I do wish he came with the Sweep head, I'd put 3 on pre-order immedeitly.

    personally im glad that the sharkticon comes with the head considering its cheaper than buying scourge and i already have two hasbro scourges im going to put the heads on (yes im aware the colors arent a perfect match :p )
