    Thunderwing is looking sharp with that black paint.

    I dig Rodimus too. Going to have to see how that mold looks in the Protector armor first though.

    Also, Wipeout is tempting!

    Why use this mold again? How many people aren't happy with classics, henkei, BiS or the SoC sets?

    If you're talking about being G1 accurate, this United figure is the real deal. The Henkei colors are more vibrant along w/ the gold foil wing! My other figures I love are Windcharger and Wipeout, they look amazing! Might have to order some! :D

    Had the Windcharger and Wipeout figures on preorder for awhile now, this has reinforced my choice. :D

    That warpath looks way too purpley red for my liking (especially in the secondary "point" pics below the main two)

    Alright!

    Liking Wipe out and G2 Megs more and more.

    Maybe Rodimus retooled engine can hold a Targetmaster/Minicon?

    Henkel Rodimus was reissued not long ago, why a new Rod? I don't want to spend another 30ish for just a repaint.

    March 22nd of next year. ;) 

    I really like this iteration of Rodimus/Hot Rod. And that says a lot because I can normally take it or leave it with the overseas versions. But there is just something so......rich....about the applications.

    And while Thunderwing's extra black, provides a very nice visual contrast to his beige/tan, I still prefer the US version.

    Wincharger has extremely little, if nothing at all, changed. Wipeout looks to be the reason to by this set. Love the metallic blue on him.

    Warpath, US version is perfect with me.

    Megatron, meh

    I completely agree, a large portion of the classicsverse line needs new molds. I am not a big fan of how many moulds had grim frowning faces throughout the line, well on the Autobot side anyway. The Autobots should not look more evil than the Decepticons. :inquisiti

    Am I the only one who has noticed (or cares) that the "G2" Megatron has a G1 Decepticon logo on him? The EZ G2 Megs has the G2 logo, I wonder why they didn't add it to this one.

    And.....

    Wipe Out is going on my shelf of G1 classics comics only bots.

    That re-release wasn't released in Japan but areas outside of Japan. So they haven't gotten one since 2008 (unless you count the clear variants).

    There is also a debate on whether TakaraTomy actually sanctions those re-releases like that or if the factory just produces them due to demand (I'm not saying either is true, I've just heard that before).

    That's random. When was one even announced, as there hasn't been.

    Probably because the United G2/Laser Optimus didn't have G2 logos.

    No plans to import. They are all lame repaints.

    Weak.

    All looknig really, REALLY nice here! The Rodimus I'll buy purely for the fact I missed both Classics AND Henkei versions (And I detest the BiS version) but the overall colour scheme is really nice. Thunderwing and Warpath both sport some really nice colours too, so deciding to go for either these or the Generations versions... And that G2 Megatron is gonna be my Classics Archforce! ^^

    The Windcharger/Wipeout set is my main problem... Already have RtS Windy, and I see no notable differences on the United version other than the actual symbol... Not sure If I should splurge the cash for this set just for a Wipeout. Thoughts?
