    I really think the term "reshell" should see more widespread use especially in the face of various recent figures that deserve being described that way.

    This is awesome. First Aid is one of my favorite characters. It is great to have an up to date version.

    This is the only decent thing out of Combiner Wars. It sure looks identical to the IDW First Aid.

    I wish they would start taking pics of them in limb modes other then their default one. He does look good though.

    I have to admit, he does look pretty damn nice. Still getting Guardia over CW Defensor, but this is pretty well done. Good job, Hasbro.

    Random prediction: The Takara Transformers Unite boxset of Defensor will have a new mold Groove who will be heavily retooled into Afterburner, much in the same way First Aid here is a heavy retool, or vice versa, of Off-Road.

    I don't know which Combiner I like the most. With limited space I want to limit myself to only one complete set if I get any at all but I don't know which one I want. lol. Right now I really like the way the Protectobots look though.

    Me too! First Aid has been a favourite of mine since I first saw "The ultimate weapon" in the mid eighties. He looks great, can't wait.

    Looks cool and I'm really pleased with how he looks like his IDW character! He's probably the one I'm least excited for though since I have Offroad.

    So they've shown off everyone but Hot Spot and Groove? Or did I miss that?

    That is a major retool. So much is different. I love when they change the head and a small thing on the toy. This is overboard. Good job Hasbro.

    I've been thinking the same thing. (Although re-shell doesn't necessarily go far enough in some case, Air Raids transformation is different to Skydives.)

    Somewhere along the line calling something a remould of something else becomes a poor description.

    Firstly they are almost certainly designing Springer/Sandstorm, Off Road/First Aid etc simultaneously so its just not accurate.

    Secondly when you get down to, I don't know, less than 30% shared parts it just seems dismissive of the effort.

    I think it will be more mix and match. Rook seems like a potential Nosecone. One of the Ariealbots could be heavily remoulded for Strafe. I kind of hope Lightspeed is a new mould just to give a few extra options for future repaints, but if that was going to happen I would have thought it would be used for Sunstreaker first which doesnt seem to be the case.
