    Breakaway saves me a big step if I decide to go forward with my movie stunticon customs.

    Sigh ... more redecolours ...

    Hasbro, stop releasing more of the Movie line, and concentrate on the animated line instead ! ...

    Well, I for one am happy to see these repaints, even if they really aren't truly from the movie. I stopped buying Transformers by the time I got to high school (beginning of the 90's - man, I feel old, heh), but when the movie line came out I thought I'd start again. So basically this means that I missed out on all the product lines in between. At least this way I can buy TF's at a reasonable price instead of paying something inflated.

    Also, AARGH these new movie toys - between these and Transformers Animated toys, I think my video game budget has gone out the door ;D

    EDIT: Oh snap, I just looked up Getaway, and he's one of the last TF's I ever got before I moved on. Really solid Powermaster, great colors, and cool design. Now I'm SUPER jazzed to pick up Breakaway :D :D :D :D :D :D

    :lol  and I thought Deep Space Screamer was the end of the line! Anyway, I don't mind repaints, especially when they have new names, and these won't be that expensive. :D

    You realize these don't take away from the Animated line at all right? They're just bonus stuff on the side that the retailers ask for.

    I realy like those basics. I seriously love basic sized TFs and was practicaly giddy with excitment when Animated continued them I really hope they do make this a gesault, only using limbs from the other two gesaults aswell. My Zellers always gets these target exclusives so I should have very little trouble trying to find them.

    Hasbro is focusing on Animated

    Target on the other hand, is not.

    Some scout class repaints aren't going to stop Hasbro or Target from releasing the Animated or even the Universe lines. If anything I'm hoping for more of these Scout repaints, and hopefully at least one Deluxe to go with the gestalt limbs.

    Aww, come on! Can the Autobots have military guys in their side? Sheesh...Every military mold I saw (minus Landime) is a con. Can´t we get rid of the cliché "Rar Military bad! Military =Decepticons!" ?

    Gunbarrel's the only one of those scouts that's even a "maybe" on my list. The other two are sure passes for me.

    Breakaway looks nice, though. I'll probably pick him up.

    Eh, pass. Some of the Animated Voyagers just hit my local Wally-Mart. I'm saving for them.

    reverb my exhaust port with that colorscheme the guy might as well be deathcobra from transformers victory

    it is downright uncanny how well that colorscheme works for the character

    all he needs now is is energon skyshadows head to give him that whole cobra snake helmit look

    It's a shame that Cyb. Hot Shot wasn't re-painted as Classics Tracks, as opposed to Classics Breakaway; there was a lot of potential for that IMO... :(

    I never got Gunbarrel's original mold, so that might be a pickup for me. Breakaway is definitely on my want list.
