    Haha what the hell is that about a cottage in the translations?

    This is my favorite though:

    I like what hasbro is doing with these. their names are referenced on them.

    1MJ9=brWl
    $=S(windle) + money

    ON
    SLT= Duh, Onslaught

    V1 = V(ortex), but I'm not sure what the 1 designates or implies

    Haven't had a picture of Blastoffs marking yet.

    I will probably get this but a whole Combaticons set of new molds would have been a dream come true.

    True, but I got excited for a second. I thought it was maybe a hint of reissue Monsterbots. :D 

    I had Grotusque and he was kinda neat...

    Meh, just two more character that deserved new molds, but now are less likely to get them.

    I might buy these simply because I never got the Energon ones. If I had the Energon versions, I would probably pass them up, unless I really liked the mold.

    Re-paints like Leo Prime and Predicon Scourge, I'm more likely to buy because of their color schemes(even though I already have the original molds of them).

    These guys colors aren't growing on me at all.

    Thanks for mirroring the images. :)  I got called away from the computer, and didn't get a chance to do so.

    I'm sorry about the name mix-up, these toys have been repainted so many times, I keep getting the new versions confused! :lol 

    Also, thanks to the moderator that fixed the thread title and tags! :D

    No one knows as of yet, we don't even know if these will be mass released or exclusives of some kind.

    Hrm.. these molds look pretty cool. And knowing they are part of a combiner team is tempting me. But I just have a hard time being excited about recycled molding. I just wish they would finally make a combiner with great articulation. I realize that would be expensive, but I'd buy it. Masterpiece Devastator anyone?
