    Holy crap, there's something strangely appealing in this redeco. Might get it.

    Dragstrip looks especially cool.

    I'd jump all over a G2 CW Bruticus. Man the 90s were weird.

    Definitely getting this craziness.

    edit. I love all the G2 symbols. I love that they're all on there and no G1 Decepticon ones. There's even a super tiny one on Motormaster's front.

    Are those real toys or CGI renders again? The colours seem a little oversaturated.

    In any case, I wonder if this set will lower demand for the real G2 Stunticons....

    I think these are physical toys, there's a distinct clarity and lack of texture to the CGI ones. These have a painted look to them - so they're physical toys, but probably painted in a way we won't see on the finalized toys.

    I'm not really the crowd these redecos are made for, but I'd love if they decided to make fake G2 Offroad :lol

    Hmmm...does this mean Blackjack is now Road Hugger?

    (For that matter, is Powerglide now Hothouse?)

    They just couldn't paint Motormaster's wheels, could they? They really like to always be a step shy of greatness. Other than that (and Drag Strip having way too much blue much like the main release has way too much maroon), this set is really great. But the unpainted wheels on a premium release suck and have got to stop. They never ever paint wheels on Voyagers or larger anymore and it really makes vehicle modes look like shit. Stop cutting corners please, especially on "Platinum" releases.

    I'm impressed you recognized him! So what does that make Powerglide?

    I need these, I love figures based on things never released! That and I love Stunticons.

    But, where are these exclusive to? That and Victorion and Superion I want to know where these will be available at.

    I was absolutely sure that I would hate the neon rainbow of G2 (since I hated the rainbow Dinobots). Then, I saw the pictures of the G2 Combiners. Wanna guess who has been added to my currently small 2016 "To Get" list? Of course, I still want to see what Takara's version of these guys will be like.

    It's great, and I love the idea of a box set, just wondering how much. Wouldn't it be great if we actually got a price cut for buying 6 toys at once? $95-$105 is about how much they would be individually.

    Really digging Drag Strip and Motormaster. I may have to get this set, i really like the blues used. Just to have a set of something i never had would be cool. I never had any G2 stuff except red chrome Hubcap.

    I was thinking the same thing about Blackjack. So I guess I'll make them Road Hugger and Hot House in my collection now.
