    Silverbolt seems a little simple transformation wise. Fold up his legs, lay him on his face & flip over the plane cockpit. Not much beyond that. He could have been a delux

    I really want to know what that Cheetor is going to look like... really hoping it fits into the style they used for BW 10th Megatron.

    Thanks for those links.

    Lots of great stuff. I like the universe Sideswipe (nice diaclone red sunstreaker homage, which is more what I'll consider him than Sideswipe). Silverstreak's paint apps looks sort of off and ugly though. Love the Thrust/Blaster RHeroes pack. Animated Ultra Magnus looks sweet too.
    They gotta learn to just get rid of the yellow on Bumblebees when they redo him black though. Especially with the all yellow head still, that just looks horrid.

    $69.99 for a reissue prime? I have spent less for masterpiece prime!

    You know that head is not going to be on the final sideswipe.
    He'll probably have different accessories too.

    it says right on the site that it's a deluxe.

    Is anyone else having a problem with the images? On the Universe page, Silverstreak's Robot Mode pic is just a duplicate of Silverbolt.

    So much good stuff. Want Sideswipe, Bluestreak, Ironhide. Can't wait to see some pics of Hound, Cyclonus, and cartoon accurate Brawn.

    Only need Universe Trailbreaker, Ratchet, and Jazz and all the 84 cars will have been released(I'm including Energon Downshift as Wheeljack).

    After looking at the Universe and Animated pictures I could just hear my wallet scream because it knows it's just so doomed.

    The small one is, but if you click on it, the bigger one is the actual Silverstreak bot-mode pic.

    Only one word popped into my mind after seeing those pics. Awesome! :drool: 

    I'm happy to see Robot Heroes Thrust and Kickback but now I regret not getting Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Shrapnel...


    My wallet just jumped out of my back pocket, let out a blood curdling scream, and hid itself in the closet. :lol

    ironhide's vehicle mode looks cracked and broken. hopefully the production version will come together a bit tighter.

    silverbolt looks pretty bland. he's a perfect modernization of the original design, but he still just wears his vehicle mode on his back. I wish he had been a bit fancier than that.
