    Well they're determined I'll give 'em that. Unless this is the Afterburner mold and they really didn't go make a new mold.

    A shared basic design like Streetwise and Dead End seems about the best thing we can hope for (?)

    I agree. I think the idea of it being Legends Groove being attached to Rook is at least worth mentioning, but this looks like a deluxe for sure.

    No way that's Groove attached to Rook, you can see the build of an actual bike in the silhouette. We got ourselves a new mold folks! :D 

    And with the legends figure we can now have a size accurate protectobot team while using the deluxe as the size changing giant bike leg we all know and love.

    Oh! Very nice for those among us who really, really want G1 accurate limbs!

    Personally, I don't really care. Groove is in the Hasbro version as a chestpiece and looks great, so I'm good, I guess. But even Hasbro will probably release it as another exclusive in the end.

    I hope so. That way Hasbro has no excuse and we'll get what we want.

    Just like Wildrider and Slingshot :D

    This is wonderful.


    Now I'm even more convinced that they did indeed give Scrapper (and maybe Long Haul) better arms than Hasbro.

    Damn I'm fond of Groove so I'll probably have to go for this version.

    Hope the colour scheme of everyone else is good.
