    I nearly fell out of my chair when I read the front page. Now that I've seen it's not 100% confirmed. Tentative epic win!! I'll buy the shit outta both of these.

    Cool, I've been looking to get some new Insecticons, (missed out on getting the Takara release for a good price) and wouldn't mind a fresh Perceptor as well.

    Normally, I'd be uninterested in these, but a certain webcomic has made me rather fond of the Insecticons, so I may well go and get them.

    Curse you, Insecticomics! :rolleyes2

    This is almost as cool as the Soundwave reissue, which I NEVER FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That pissed me off to no end, almost as much as the Botcon seekers. :banghead: 

    I'd love to have some Insecticons, only for the fact that I could actually kick Kickback's ass. Yeah, you heard me.

    both are so gonna be mine. Now I don't have to get the Takara reissues or worn out G1 incarnations

    I wonder if all 4 will be bundled together or if the Insecticons would be in one box and Perceptor another

    ....reissues I might actually consider buying. I don't believe it, they finally did it.

    I definitely want the Insecticons. Perceptor's also a good one. (He might be a buy.)

    I don't have the actual toys, but if I remember correctly from all the times I've seen them at Botcon the Insecticons are each about Scout class-sized, or the size of a very small deluxe. Perceptor is about Beast Wars Mega or BW Ultra-sized. So it would make sense that one pack is the Insecticons, the other is Perceptor.
