    After seeing bot mode pics, I have to quote myself:

    I imagine it's stuck in that position, since that's how the design in the comic going back to Spotlight Blurr was.

    hmm picture of the head doesn't look quite optimus-primey for me. And i don't mean the lack of a face plate either.

    would be way better if there was a way that the weapons folded up into the truck mode somehow. I really like self contained figures. Megatron looks great because his weapons are all hidden in the bomber mode. Orion pax looks more to have the newly accepted standard of having the axe and the gun pinned to the side of the truck...lame...

    I really like this mold. A must have! Him, Megatron, and Hoist are on my list. And maybe Trailbreaker too.

    I really hope you're right about Scorch, the Botcon release was a horrible missed opportunity, the Hound mold would have worked so much better for Turbofire instead.

    I'm surprised we haven't seen test shots for Roadbuster, Impactor, Topspin or Twin Twist yet.

    The flap behind his head somehow doesn't look obnoxious anymore now hat you've pointed that out.

    This looks to be the best of the four. I really like the proportions.

    So now that Trailcutter and Hoist are out of the way, that just leaves Skids, Brawn, Huffer, and Gears for the cars. Dinobots as well, but I will stick to the cars for the sake of argument.

    Oh well, in another 2 years.

    G1 repaint and a new head on that voyager would make me a happy man. I love every custom that has done so.

    He's not bad, but the earth mode doesn't jive. I'd just like to see Kup have a bot mode that feels a little more like him with a futuristic alt mode that is more close to his G1/futuristic incarnation.

    yeah, he looks good. I'd be happy with a Kup retool, but the others don't fit. That big grill doesn't fit for Skids. I could see Gears, but it might be pushing it. I'd rather see some unique molds for these guys.... especially seeing how iGear has upped the ante with some fantastic renditions of the characters.

    So yeah. I'm holding my breath for some excellent Hasbro Skids, Brawn, Huffer and Gears. Do me proud!

    Looking good. If Botcon doesn't release the rumored Electro from the Classics Kup mold I'd love to see one retolled from this mold for sure.

    AND I totally agree with your point. We got a vintage truck mode out of a futuristic car. (plus and earth mode for Hot Rod.)

    I'd love to see the FOC line continue with some really futuristic versions of:
    Kup, Arcee, Hot Rod, Rodimus, Blurr

    Plus missing G1 cars (and their repaints) like:
    Sunstreaker, Prowl, Ironhide, Hound...

    If you regard Botcon Huffer or PCC Huffer as good enough to fill the Huffer slot, then by default the HFTD Seaspray should be good enough for for the Seaspray slot. That toy was originally meant to be Classics Seaspray anyway.

    Anyway, the figure itself looks awesome. I have no interest in getting Orion Pax at all but I'd still be interested in what kind of retool they could make from it.

    I'm amazed people still having issues with HFTD Seaspray not being a classic figure.
