    Gonna get Override (neat homage to a more obscure G1 character; better use of the mold than Groove) but skipping Runabout as I already have the deluxe club version.

    Whoa... They look great. Glad I preordered them. Still strange they haven't shown up on HLJ or AE yet..

    Edit: I spoke too soon!

    Override?! The G1 Triggerbot? So random I have to pre-order him. Also best version of that mold so far. Blackjack also looks pretty cool, but I hate how they all have those stupid RiD logos on them.

    But Override, that's like some BotCon figure attendee figure that you'd have to pay $100 aftermarket to get. And they'd probably piss all over it, slap a red Decepticon logo on it, and call it SG Armada Sideways or something just to mess with everyone.

    That's a pretty clever way of hiding the Barcode Sticker on Override. Kudos to TT!

    I wonder if it's too much to ask to have Runamuck to go with him...

    I wonder if Override is going to try to sneak onto team Victorion as, uhm, "support."

    Classic Override is cool and bought. I already own the Club Runabout and Runamuck...so I can skip this guy the same way I'm skipping Rodimus.

    Why does Runabout have so many Decepticon logos?

    you know given how they sold the older Windcharger as a 2 pack with a repair I'm shocked they didn't do it again for this guy.

    I'm all over those Q transformers but I wish Soundwave was not just a GTR convoy repaint.

    Actually, that's not a bad idea. Out of all of the new legends team members for CW, Wreck Gar is the most out of scale. At least Rodimus has a Micromaster G1 figure to homage.

    They were easily removed from TAV Shrapnel and Bombshell, IIRC.

    So maybe they didn't have to change the molds of Runabout & Override to put the stupid stickers on them? I could definitely see trying to get Override since he looks like the best use of this mold yet. Runabout is way more of a maybe since I already have Blackjack, will get another version with the G2 Stunticon set, and might get Rodimus.

    Override's sticker placement is awfully clever! Still not getting him though. That mold looks weak as fuck to me.

    Override looks terrific. And he'll fit right in with (or at least be a nice little pint-sized enemy for) the TFCC Triggercons coming out next year. Now gimme CW Backstreet and Dogfight! :)
