    Bluestreak would be cool, especially if he was done in two-tone silver and black, like the Universe and cartoon deco. He never came out in the TFC line.

    Im not a major fan of encore but I'll suck if it ends soon. I was so happy to here I'll be able to get my mittens on Steeljaw, Ramhorn, Slugfest, and Ratbat. Not only are they cheap in comparison, they come all in one package!

    The fact that no Diaclone blue Bluestreak has appeared in any reissue line (or from EHobby) makes me one sad panda.

    Yeah, I'd get both decoes. The all-silver of the original is pretty boring.

    Also, I don't think either Red Alert or Grapple had TFC reissues. If they could pull a Hoist and remake those, I'd scoop them up too. I consider it an upgrade to go from the TRU Commemorative neutered launchers/no chrome reissues to a nicer-looking poke-yer-eye-out with chrome missiles Takara toy.

    Well since Sideswipe is in ROTF an Encore Sideswipe is likely. With Red Alert to go with him. Ala Ironhide/Ratchet and Trailbreaker/Hoist.

    I know. That's why I specified. I'm not buying those overpriced things.

    If they did, I'll bet sales will go through the roof. But the price will probably be an arm and a leg.

    Well there is that often thrown around theory that the movie line has been given priority at factories, thus causing delays in several recent and upcoming Takara toys.


    Can't wait for them to kill of Encore so they can reissue Megatron, Convoy, Soundwave and Starscream again.

    They're starting to remind me of comic book companies. Restart the line with new numbering and sell the same shit over and over again!

    Don't worry. Remember after Encore 12 - Metroplex was announced? It was MONTHS before we heard about Encore 13, and everyone was speculating Encore was finished. They seem to do batches of 4-5 in rapid succession then take a break...
