    I dunno, I think it'll probably end up going clearance before it sells out. I had put in a preorder yesterday but woke up, found my brain, and realized there's no way I'm paying $100 for this dude. $50, yeah maybe, but not $100. Preorder cancelled. If I never get him because he sells out it's no skin off my back.

    If he made $50 on clearance I'd get him.

    HAHA! I put in a preorder yesterday as well. My reasoning is that I'm basically reserving my right of first refusal. He's not coming out until April, so just in case something happens between now and then (like his suddenly appearing in MTMTE and becoming awesome overnight like Swerve), then I'm safe. If, come April, he hasn't won me over, then I can still cancel.

    Dang, First Aid? Might be too similar to Ratchet, but heck. I'm interested.

    Vanformers:

    Ironhide
    Ratchet
    Diaclone/SG Ironhide
    Green Ratchet
    Energon Towline
    Micromaster Tote
    Protectobot First Aid
    Micromaster Sireen (aka Universe Micromaster First Aid)
    Technically Animated Bulkhead was a van.
    Armada Dirtboss and Midship in all their decos.
    Create-A-Bot
    SG Soundwave

    Oh, and the Gobot character Van-Guard!

    If I had to get one version of the mold, it would be Diaclone black Ironhide.

    Nolan-verse is a head scratcher. Maybe the breadbox van that Joker was tooling around in firing RPGs at Harvey Dent and the Tumbler?

    But I may go for a black redeco, especially if it had a red stripe like the A-Team van and a head sculpt that resembled Mr. T, haha.

    I'm just going to assume he meant Bay-verse :)

    The A-Team variant is for Reprolabels after the Diaclone version comes out.

    I can't see a First Aid repaint. Well....actually the alt mode will be fine but then he'll look like Ratchet in robot mode with a slightly different red head. It just doesn't work......IMO at least.

    I'm guessing the Nolan-verse is actually bay-verse and we'll get a green/yellow version with an alien head, Diaclone speaks for itself.

    You have their ear, tell them ppl want a Mystery Machine repaint. I'm pretty sure that'd sell well....as would an A-Team van repaint.

    I'd guess a First Aid version would just be Ratchet with a First Aid Head, some more red internal parts, and new weapons.

    You realize if they did a SG Soundwave it would cost the same as the official toy in today's market, and be better!

    Sorry gang. Bay-Verse. Guess that was my mind wishing what TF the movie could have been if Nolan directed.

    If they did an Energon Towline version, it would probably be the first iGear product I'd consider. Freestyle and his wacky G1 Towline made me love the guy.

    i can understand Ironhide and 1 repaint Ratchet but when you do 3 repaints. it becomes disappointing like hasbro has become. Im gonna pass on this one. it should be half the cost with only one gun.

    To be fair, Hasbro would've called this repaint "Energon Armor Swoop" or something.
