    I'm pretty sure it's a BD repaint.

    As long as he has a new head, I'm all for a Breakdown repaint.

    Looks like it's true that there will be a Takara Jet Vehicon and from the RK description, Swerve will be a Breakdown repaint.

    That would definitely be interesting, but unless the
    Autobot part of the original translation was incorrect too
    I have a hard time seeing that being the case. I doubt that
    Silas would team-up with the Autobots
    .

    Being a Breakdown repaint makes sense. Should be interesting to see how the deco turns out, and whether or not it'll have a different head sculpt. If there is any in-show connection, I hope they repaint the Legion figure too.

    Probably they don't want to use the same mold on the same faction at all, that's how it seems to me. Wheeljack's mold is being repainted to become a decepticon, ratchet's with the new head in the instructions seems like it will be a decepticon too...so Breakdown's decepticon mold becoming a package listed autobot doesn't seem too out of whack--but the except IS Hotshot who is a repaint and in the same faction..i dunno.

    Well, there's also Kup, who's going to be a repaint of Ironhide with a new head.

    Are you talking about a commander repaint, or is there actually going to be a deluxe ironhide?

    So far, we've had no actual confirmation of a deluxe Prime Ironhide.

    We have a deluxe Prime Kup scheduled for wave 5. Chances are, we'll get a deluxe Prime Ironhide remold of Prime Kup.

    Asia Exclusive Swerve is a remold of Generations Deluxe Kup.

    Prime Swerve is going to be a Voyager.

    Seeing as how RK had listings up for deluxe ironhide a while back, a repaint sounds likely.

    Though I don't like the trend of the 2nd characters getting the toys first. (Like dreadwing, and in this case kup)
