    If it IS a mailaway, I doubt it would be Axor... Axor was revealed via someone hacking into Wal-Mart computers or something... If Axor is the mailaway, why would he be in the Wal-Mart computers?
    Here's my two cents worth: It's a mailaway campaign. The mailaway is the white Decepticon muscle car. I'm thinking a repaint of a Bumblebee mold (Bugbyte?) or Lockdown (Runamuck? Breakdown?). Of course, I have been wrong before...

    That RPM's Lockdown that is a Blue car would have made a fairly decent repaint of Lockdown.

    It might have been nice though if another version of the lockdown mold had a chainsaw instead of a hook.

    So would the Generations line start around the same time? Or is that one slated for August-ish?

    I don't want too many figures from HFTD line, but if there is a decent mail-away figure; I'd buy a few more than I wanted.

    i don't see how a news cast about a white car would actually be newsworthy, but i'm still excited for this... can't wait to see what they come up with...

    White muscle car... in the middle of the jungle. That would seem pretty newsworthy to me. *shrug*

    Don't forget, it's a white car IN A JUNGLE IN THAILAND.

    Unless white muscle cars naturally occur in Thai jungles, something must be up.

    If being a white muscle car in a Thai jungle is turning heads I'd say this character must be inexperienced. He's kind of missing the whole "disguise" aspect.

    This has been very enjoyable thus far, and it's cool to see Hasbro cranking it up a notch :) 

    As for "Hunt for the Decepticons", I'm having enough trouble hunting a HA Mudflap :lol  "Hunt" indeed . . . .

    THIS is the most exciting news from the land of TFs in quite some time, for me.

    Really chomping at the bit to get into HftD!
