    Ironhide looks GEWWWD. Very nice. Just proves how good Animated is, even in death.

    EDIT: Good, the pics are up. That new set of Sideways with the Legends Arcee sisters - I can't believe they actually did Chromia and Elita! I thought at first it was a HA Sideways. Aw well. That's an ugly repaint of Legends Jolt with an uglier repaint of Deluxe Brawl. And an ugly repaint of Legends Grindor.

    The Power Core Combiners look good as ever, and the Rodimus Prime looks fantastic.

    Thank you very much! Nothing's loading for me on the news page, so I appreciate the pics. I was seriously close to drooling when I saw that in-box pic of the Seacons. I really hope that's a Target-exclusive like it's rumored to be.

    I can't wait to know the answer to the Seacons question. It says Limited Edition on the box but no mention of SDCC so maybe its going to Target or TRU?

    Don't SDCC toys usually mention the convention somewhere on the package?

    Seacons!

    HELLS YES! There are slight differences that set this apart from the G1 set (like Snaptrap's head) but it looks fantastic.

    I hope we get to apply the stickers and they're not factory.

    But even if they are factory applied, who cares? It's the Seacons!

    The first post says to keep your eyes peeled on the home page.

    Really nice packaging for those battle packs, I like the concept of mixing the deluxes and legends were they are more -or- less in scale. (the BB/Grindor one kinda blows that though, lol)

    Beautiful packaging for Piranacon, I'll get one to keep misb just cuz it's nice looking.

    Rodimus Minor is hideous (the face... The skinny legs...) and Iron Hide's a hot mess, dang. Nice mouth.

    Click the image on the front page. :wink: 

    The box for MP Grimlock is funky. It would have been more efficient to pack him in 'bot mode.

    In the set with the lemon-flavoured Brawl...is that a glow-in-the-dark legends Jolt? Gads.
