    The Bludgeon name in action again is, as they say...cool beans.

    Since they're just NOW being released it kinda makes you wonder why Skywarp and Ramjet aren't repaint of the NEW ROTF Starscream mold??

    Good to hear the Bludgeon name again, though not too fond of the repaints. It would have been nicer to give Ramjet the conehead styling, and wasn't the recolour of the former called Wreckage in the comics?

    On the plus side, since Skywarp's finally arrived, G1 Movie Seekers unite!

    As I've said before, it's so they can work with the G1-ized Starscream and Thundercracker from the movie line.

    Well, looks like I definitely won't be getting Skywarp now, unless I get him from a fellow board member (I don't plan on gonig to a Walmart ever again). Probably won't get Bludgeon anymore either, as I have no real interest in Whirl. Though theres a chance I still might get the set. It'll depend on how they look in-person, but I have a feeling I won't be getting them. Oh well, two less figures I need to worry about getting this year.

    Why couldn't they make them as the new molds?

    Probably because then people would complain that they don't have the G1-ized Starscream and Thundercracker in that style too.
    Easier to make all the Seekers with the mold that they started out with, than having to remake all of them over again.

    Skywarp looks pretty good, but I'm kinda meh on Ramjet. Call me picky, but they could have at least TRIED to make him a bit conehead-ish. They got him right with Classics, couldn't they have fiddled with it some for this?

    SIgh. Everytime I see the retooled seeker head, ala Skywarp, I wonder why they didn't use that instead of the Birdscream face. I'm going to get the Seekers to round out my movie seeker collection.

    I seem to be the only one who likes the bird head Starscream mold. I'll probably get Ramjet. Maybe.

    Knew these (except Budgeon) would be exclusives, hopefully I can get a chance to pick them up during Botcon weekend.

    I think Whirl, and possibly Bludgeon, could fit in the Universe line as well. They aren't the most movie-centric of molds.

    The recent Springer now has a heli-friend.

    @Prime Aspect: What do you mean "movie-centric"? Also, how could these guys fit in the Universe line?

    @myhobby: A miserable day? Why?

    Aw dang, now I'm going to buy that Master of Metallikato set. Bludgeon is cool, and I need a replacement Whirl.
    Not interested in Ramjet, Skywarp is one for my brother.
