    Gears turned out better than I thought. I'm slightly disappointed by Beachcomber's face though. His glasses look too big. Out of these new reveals, Swerve looks the best, but I'm most excited for Beachcomber because Beachcomber is a cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything.

    Even if pre-orders go up on the iGear site I'm not going for it because (1) iGear is shoddy as hell in terms of communication and (2) I didn't pre-order Hench and UFO and I ended up getting them faster than the people who did pre-order.

    I'm surprised more people aren't annoyed by Beachcomber's light blue.

    Am I too OC about this??? :)

    And now I know 100% TW won't be getting my money. Thanx for the info Sid.

    One has to wonder, just how much is on iGears plate to have 4 big MW's not see the light of day this year? I hope this means we finally get the sharkicons and the rumoured Voyager Dinobots. :)

    I only need one version of a character for my Classics collection. I was going to eventually get the TW stuff but I like iGear and now that they are making Throttlebots I will stick with them. I don't need two versions of these guys.

    Gears is amazing! Wow, these are more classics than the Hasbro classics. Would love to see a whole line of TF figures in this aesthetic.

    Cogz looks fantastic. Can't say the same for Duneraker... I mean one has plenty of paint apps it seems... the other... largely unpainted.

    Sid knows about the inner workings of iGear, he said Throttlebots so I believe Throttlebots.

    It was the first thing I noticed on the Facebook pics. I thought TFW2005 would be in an uproar about it! Guess I'm out of touch, lol.

    Gears is excellent, and I love his big chunky size! Even Beachcomber looks good in colour (maybe it's just the angle of the pics but the legs seem much better. Could maybe use some different size wheels).
    Gah, this just makes me more sad that iGear didn't give Outback a remolded chest :( 

    It's not too late iGear!!! :poke

    I might need a Cogz to hang out with a Marvel Universe black costume Spider-Man. :)

    Sid hears things and passes on his theories. Nothing is ever 100% ;)

    I missed this. I'm pretty sure I remember you saying there wouldn't be a Windcharger (could be wrong) so this makes me very happy!

    Heard anything about a much wanted Rager upscale? With the rest of the minibots all being to scale to each other it would be sad (not to mention look stupid) to have Rager and Spray literally half the size of the rest.

    Just my opinion of course, not saying I'm right or wrong, but for me personally -
    Gears looks amazing!! Really excited about this figure.
    A darker blue for Beachcomber, upscale Huffer then perfection!
    Maybe I'm being fussy over Beachcomber, but I'd so love Huffer to be slightly bigger.
    iGEAR's miniwarrior line really is cool!

    I'm not a fan of the light blue. It was the first thing that stood out to me. Kinda like that neon green they did with cosmos.
