    was ravage really necessary?

    that mould has been used so many times recently and there is a new version and laser beak is just as bad

    Rumble, ratbat, one of eject or rewind and ramhorn would have been better received

    I'd have welcomed Rumble/Frenzy (despite having a pretty good Frenzy) but I have 2 x Ravage and Lazerbeak/Buzzaw. I suppose Eject/Rewind are kinda neat, but I can't help but feel the cassette set has all the least desirable modes.

    Still, I'll probably buy it anyway :p

    Henkei! Mini-bots are intriguing. Can't wait to see the packaging...hopefully they'll continue the trend and come w/ the tech spec trading cards!

    why can't they reissue something that hasn't been done? 2 deceps and 2 auto in a BIG MISSION? instead of ravage and beak.. why not steal jaw/ and the rhino with rewind/eject as the big 4? or frenzy/rumble and 2 dino cassettes as the decepticon big 4?

    As so many has posted I will go out on a limb that the following can be assumed.

    1: The molds of any other cassette is not avalible. If the likes of Rumble and Frenzy were to be around it would have been reissued with the fact Soundwave/Soundblaster has been reissued the last 6 years in so many form they would be bound to come along one of his versions. They are just as big characters as Ravage adn LAzerbeack.

    2: It needs to be profitable and except hardcore fandom I doubt the other less famous cassettes would be a big seller. Sure Raindance and Slamdance are a nice set that you have to pay for alot if you want but I can not see them as a reissue that would reach much outside the fandom.

    my 2 cents.

    yeah Um, PASS on all counts.

    I already own LASERBEAK, BUZZSAW and RAVAGE and I'm not much into Blaster's cassettes. as for the legends why on earth does anybody need them they have already been massed released everywhere by now.

    I bet they haven't been mass released in Japan. Or for that matter, most countries outside the U.S. ;)

    Would have preferred Buzzsaw instead of Laserbeak. Hopefully they would re-release the latter cassettes like Ratbat and Overkill.

    But why Henkai? Why not Encore? At first I thought we got new molds that might lead to a new Blaster or Soundwave. Meh. I might pick it up.

    I guess the two Legends sets are Henkei and the G1 Reissue set is Encore.

    Too bad it isn't Frenzy/Rumble vs Eject/Rewind.
