    Aw, nuck futters. You mean I have to get the crappy Legends Starscream mold just to get Smokescreen, and I have to get yet another Legends Bumblebee just to get a Nemesis Wheelie?

    Damn you, Hasbro! Damn you and your marketing strategy! :mad

    Legends Smokey looks damn good! I would've rather seen the Jazz mold used just for consistency's sake, but the Rodimus one will do just fine! Awesome! :thumb

    Shadow Striker?! What an obscure homage. And of all the figures to do it with, Wheelie. I would like to see some artwork for this figure. A feminized Wheelie, how strange would that be?

    I'm happy I don't have any of the repaints, or Starscream or Bumblebee. Now I can justify my purchases! Those things will be mine! ^^

    I'd get Shadow Striker if I could find it. I only ever saw four Universe Legends TFs.

    Shadow Striker? Cool.

    Loving Smokescreen's vehicle mode. Not too keen on the robot mode, seems a bit too bland.

    Something tells me this Shadow Striker will be male. But if it were a fem bot, I would be very very happy.

    Glad people will finally get the chance to play with the Wheelie and Rodimus molds. They're fun.

    That being said, I may get that skids and flap two pack. Devastator needs something to eat.

    Glad to see they're getting the rare Universe Legends out in SOME form. Both are instant pick-ups, though I'm getting really tired of the Bumblebee "I've got one new paint app!" re-re-re-re-releases.
    Skids and Mudflap look alright, they're probably in the camp of "JUST different enough to be worth picking up" redecos, like FAB Sand Attack Bumblebee.

    And that is soooo Shattered Glass Wheelie...

    What I want to know (for some reason) is whether Shadow Striker is a fembot, like the Universe 1.0 version. Also, I betcha that FunPub will eventually repurpose that one as Shattered Glass Wheelie (whom if I remember was some kind of barbarian lord who defeated SG Skylynx).

    Shadow Striker is definitely the pick of the bunch but what the hell kind of name is that? *scratches head*

    Smokescreen's alt-mode is nice but the rest of them can stay on the pegs.

    originals and I'll just repaint them,Why I ask you Hasbro Why you didn't release more of
    the first ones instead of the recolors.

    If these are in 2-packs, then surely Smokescreen will have a bio on the card back. I wonder how they are going to explain his deco going from "Holy horseshit" to "Holy shit!".

    Cool how they're repainting some of the awesome Universe Legends, which actually work pretty well. Hope they do more since I know the last few were hard to find for some.

    We're getting a Warpath repaint in the Target exclusive 5-pack coming soon, so this just leaves Cosmos. I vote for Pathfinder. :D 

    Something weird I just noticed. Yesterday I was at home getting ready to go back to college and I decide to bring two more Transformers back with me. Guess what? Universe Smokescreen was one of them. I dunno, I think its strange.
