    Clear Mirage, Starscream's Ghost or Candy Striper Strafe do anything for you?

    Wow, so much neatness. *_*

    I'm just loving the cover art, and the toys are looking lovely. I really can't wait for them to come now. *stares at preorder page*

    Not so much - I got each deluxe for around 10-16$ each (except Cyclonus who cost 19$). For some reason, Sideswipe is sold for 10$ only... There are good sellers (who do not think "combined shipping" for 4 deluxes is 4x18$) in China too, you just have to search hard.

    I wish I understood the comic, from what I get, Octane is already imagining Megs will hold a party in his honour, but what is Cyclonus doing at the solar panel station and why is he retreating?

    Also, why is Red Alert smiling? Shouldn't he be, y'know, jittering from nervousness? :) 

    The toys are ace, just when I said "there is no way on Earth you can make me buy the Prowl mold one more time" they did it again... Must say, as much as I love Prowl as a character, I hate the mold - the wings are very hard to pose and always fell off, he is a pain to stand properly, and he has sticky paint on doors/top of car syndrome like Bluestreak or Ironhide...

    No sticky paint on my Smokescreen (first thing I checked actually), and the wings didn't pop off once. Overall he felt very tight, unlike the Classics version.

    How about a ghostly candy striper disruptor bot? Seriously though, yeah i am digging those, there are going to be a few more exclusives to my understanding on the horizion, was just just hoping that the line would directly continue...oh well...:)

    Right on. You know what I'm hoping to see is Breakdown, to go with my Drag Strip. And a Gears from Hot Shot.

    It looks soo cool. Now if Hasbro (or whoever) would just release Red Alert to us as well as over there then it would be even better!!

    The last two that I have been waiting for a long time or at least seems like a long time. Both of them look great.

    Red Alert is so sexy. And I'm glad they went with blue arms for Smokescreen, rather than that gray we saw a little while ago.

    Gears out of Hot Shot? Wow, that's a stretch. I totally don't see it.

    The domehead is what made me think of it. That and the car is fairly generic otherwise. I never thought of Gears as much of a truck anyway.
