    What's the bio say? "FLYWHEELS and MACHTACKLE something, something something something, something something TRIPLE CHANGER something"? :horse: 

    Hmm...I wonder if the same is true of Thrust from the Coneheads set? It would explain how they could get away with the short missiles shown in the package....unless that one isn't planned for U.S. release at all.

    Are these upscaled? Is that a regular G1 Blitzwing in that pic?

    Look closely, that "G1" Blitzwing is the same size as a G1 Combaticon limb...

    For sec I did think these were bigger when I saw that WST pic, but yeah when compared to the Combaticons.

    Happy for whoever wants this, but really want pics for the Dinobots and Trypticon. I would like more substance for their release bc I'm looking forward to them the most.

    Actually, now that I know that Astrotrain is a Machtackle tribute, suddenly it doesn't look so bad to me.

    It's the neon orange, I wouldn't mind it so much if it was red-orange, like MachTackle

    I would repurpose Blitzwing as a new Junkion character, but the colors seem too dark.

    yep still look crappy, I dig BW its not a bad choice of colours, AT is ass however. I just dont get how they dig these 2 designs up after what? 10 years and just go so off the rails. If they had G2 stickers and a G2 box I'd get it and maybe even buy them but as is No thanks.

    Also if they reissued AT in the Anime colours or something even close to the E-Hobby toy they would sell even at the crazy prices they are asking for these "platinum" reissues

    Are there stickers or are they tampographed onto the toys?

    Would people have preferred them more if they were actually called and characterised as MachTackle and Flywheels?

    Flywheels then. And it shouldn't matter that the colors are dark if you want him as a new Junkion.

    I will always welcome another Astrotrain to the collection. Can't wait!

    I'll be selling the Blitzwing though.
