will have to get this set for Dirge (I have the red Starscram from TRU a few years ago that could double for Thrust....)

 

I like Roadbuster and I like Ratbat, but I don't care for the voyager counterparts since I have those molds already.... Anyone wanna trade?
@_@

 

"Unless"? I think you mean "especially if"! He'll go great with my GF Starscream and Cyb Thrust. (I don't care how the maroons at Hasbro labeled the box, I just cannot see that paint job as Starscream.) Now I just need four more to paint as Skywarp, Thundercracker, Ramjet and Sunstorm...and some paint skillz.

At this point, I just want Ratbat and Dirge. I have CD Hot Shot, and I've never really cared for the Evac mold for some reason...maybe I'll change my mind once I have "Springer" in hand.

 

Can't wait to get these guys and the Springer/Ratbat set.

Not sure where I'll put them all though as I have the BotCon Springer and Dirge.

Dirge and Springer MIGHT work their way onto my Cybertron shelves.

 

Now that you mention it, GF SS (the toy, not the show) is very Ramjet-y in colouration.


Non-conehead-coneheads, UNITE!

 

Two quick questions:

1-What's the price for those?

2-What molds were they? It looks like Dirge is Cyb Starscream (smaller size) and Roadbuster is Cyb Hot Shot's upgraded form? I skipped a good part of Cybertron, so, I can't tell accurately enough.

Thanks!

 

i preordered the 2 comic packs....but i dont like dirge at all...probably sell him off..actually, i just wanted springer/ratbat, but had to preorder both..so i might probably sell of the second pack misb

 

In the U.S., $29.99 and exclusive to Target. Only out in Canada so far, though.

You are correct, sir.  

 

I got my sets today.

Its a small point, but I'm sure the comics are in the wrong packs.

The molds are very good with little sign of degradation on any of them.

Hardest thing I had to do was decide where they went on my shelves.

 

man o' man can I NOT wait for Dirge to get in my hands....

 

Cool, thanks bud! They look rather cool, too. The paint jobs on them accent the "Holy hell, look at the weaponry!" aspect of each mold.  

 

I can't stop playing with Roadbuster. I never owned the mold before. I really like the colors, although the paint is a little sloppy. Dirge is great too. I went to pick up the Ratbat and Springer set, but ended up leaving with this one.

 

I have the same problem. I can't put eitehr down, though Dirge more than RB. Which sucks because I just redid my shelves all nice, so I put them at the front.

 

Hey - when I get the 2packs, my concern will be shelf space. I now have all the Universe/Classics figs in vehicle mode, and my shelves with them are pretty full.

And that's with my Classics minicons relocated to Primus and Unicron.

 

Nice pics, I'm looking forward to this set!

 

Got the set today.

Dirge is a great figure. I have the GF Starscream mold already, so I knew what I was getting with Dirge. His colorscheme is very well-designed. I'm transforming him though with the tailfin folded up (rather than down) in robot mode and his wings folded back in robot mode though, to give him a "conehead" and set him apart from Starscream.

As for Roadbuster...well, my biggest criticism is that he had no Autobot insignia anywhere on him. So I had to use a Reprolabels Autobot insignia I had lying around to rectify that. Now his allegiance is declared. My only other criticism is the face - the headsculpt is REALLY crying out for a faceplate.

Great figures, and they'll go well with my Universe shelf.

 

I took some quick comparrison pics of these guys and the previous versions of the molds;

 

nice pics ^^...damn, those molds are overused  

 

Bendy Prime is over-used.   Arm Sideswipe is overused.     If I had to say any of those are overused it would be SS, but it's counter-weighed by the fact that he's never received a non-exclusive release in the US/Cnd.  

Actually, almost half those dudes are exclusives. I never noticed that. Also, big thanks to BigPhill for those pics!  

 

Thanks for the funny review!
I was on the fence with these guys but if they're 29.99 I won't pick them up.
Maybe on sale though...

I thought these guys were going to be 20 bucks at Target like the Magnus/Skwarp 2-pack.
Dam I won't have the cash for these.
