    It seems most likely that we won't see him (or Rumble) until at least March. Classics won't have anything new then and we'll have that two month gap to the movie preview toys. That would seem to be the perfect time for Hasbro to be shipping out those two Alternators molds. It still makes TF offerings extremely weak for two months (being limited to 2 Alts. and whatever Titaniums are released), but at least it's something to fill in Hasbro's wave-based release strategy.

    Does anyone know what the case breakdown is going to be? Knowing Hasbro, we'll have one Ravage per case and the rest will be the same crap still warming shelves.

    Good question Pimpimus. Entertainment Earth is where I look for case breakdowns and I found this. Curiously, it's cancelled. It lists Mirage, Rumble and 2 x Ravage.

    I was making a jab at the fact that Hasbro has a hard time redoing head molds and colors at times. :thumb

    Yeah, it makes you wonder if we're actually going to get these in the US. Have we even seen any US packaged samples yet?

    Well, I'm happy to see Alts. again, especially new Decepticon recruits. Looking forward to their arrival in the states here.

    They may just have changed the case contents, and assigned it a new number.(?)

    IIRC There were also reports of a case with 1 Mirage 2 X Rumble 1 X Ravage.

    Hasbro may have knocked them back a bit, but if Rumble has made it as far as testshots, and Ravage has made it to retail overseas, it would be a waste of research/design money for them to just can them at this point.



    Speculation:

    As for repaints/retools, the fact that it's so readily available in the U.K and Ireland, and that it soon will be in other European countries (most Alts aren't released in Europe at all, never mind first) makes me wonder if Hasbro don't have any concrete plans for a second use of the mold.

    Perhaps they have instead decided to make as much money from it as possible by making it available in as many markets as possible.

    I say we all take turnes standing outside Hasbro in RI., and stare at them menacingly. That will put a fire under there backsides.

    actually it only turn down. but you can rotate the neck base so he can turn his head left/right as shown.

    really prefer the US package. intl package, besides no art = no bio :( 

    also, the shop i bought it from had the whole case filled with ravage. he was quite happy with that since he'll be guaranteed no shelfwarmer of alts from previous wave.

    Ramjet and Cliffjumper was also spotted and obtained by some of my pals in Missouri. But my store shelves on all the big names are completely naked. We've had nothing but Hot Rods and Mirages for months.

    these are Hasbro toys, not Takomy ones, so yes they'll reach the states.

    Be thankful that you haven't heard an american butchering a foreign language, then. :)  I took French for three years in high school and I'd still be embarassed to attempt to say anything using the language even in Canada.
