    ....another Brawl? What does that make, four? Couldn't have made him Quake or something...?

    Still, the rest look nice. :)  Good to finally see Cliffjumper and Sunstorm showing up. And the Decepticon fire team looks interesting. And even though I've never cared much about the Aerialbots, my interest skyrockets when I see they have two little Powerglide repaints in the mix.

    The set with Cliffjumper, Sunstorm and the Aerialbots are buys. I don't really care for the flippers and spinners or whatever the next generation Botshots are called.

    Hmm, from what I can tell the new Shockwaves aren't repaints of the chase one. I'm still looking for a chase but can anyone confirm if these Shockwaves are new and unique molds from previous ones?

    Not crazy about these new ones unless there's more in the assortment. Could use some more different characters instead of Brawl and Bumblebee... Haven't warmed up to Bot Shots yet but still want chase Shockwave. I am looking forward to new gimmicks like the articulation and jump shots though so I'll see about those.

    I'm not celebrating until we get word of official release. I already got the Stunticons and Polar Assault Team.

    That said, DO WANT.

    I have an adverse reaction to characters that already have Bot Shots (Bumblebee, Shockwave, Ironhide) getting the "Other Shots" treatment. I enjoy ticking off boxes on the giant checklist of possible character choices for Bot Shots ("Ooh, they made Dirt Boss!"). But with Spin Shots, etc., it's a whole new checklist starting from scratch, and that's frustrating.

    But I face reality. I'll probably buy them all anyway. I've been waiting for Sunstorm for so long. Yay!

    Awesome. Two more Shockwaves for my collection.

    Make that three. Just noticed the Shockwave in the Fire Assault pack. Not crazy about the colors, but a Shockwave is a Shockwave.

    I do agree, I'd LOVE to see some of the other major player Autobots (& Deceps) that have been left out. Thinking about Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Hound, Wheeljack, Tracks, etc.

    Glad to FINALLY see a red Ironhide, though. Bravo on this whole wave. Some great offerings in the box sets and loose.

    mmm the shockwave in the pack and the one sold as a single are the same mold, the pack one just got some oranges parts like his action master namesake

    i will get the single one, that's one more on my Shockwave themed showcase,
    i remember when, a few years ago, he was so under used by hastak..thanks guys he needed to be back :p

    I guess you could consider The red Starscream as Thrust - however there's a new mould for the Coneheads (seen Dirge already) so maybe not.

    Oh and this is the 4th Brawl there's already 4 ;Tan, Blue, green and now another green (more if you count the Blue Becool one). That said I don't count the Blue one as Brawl I think of him as Tankor.
