    Good call. a Wheelie redeco would have been more fitting even with the goatee.

    I think it's time for a new Rodimus figure.

    Funny that they used the new Windblade mold over the first version.
    I think the only figure out of both sets I'd want is Springer. He looks good with the added paint apps.

    I wondered why that Windblade looked different. The generations one was a bit too finicky for me.

    Brainstorm looks great.

    I agree. Though the T30 mold has plenty of uses.

    If the plat were split into two it would be great. I want Springer and Arcee. The others I could pass on. I like Magnus but I have no place in my collection for leaders anymore.

    I cannot believe they included that idiotic Minimus Ambus figure again instead of doing something as obvious a repainting that as Daniel in his Exo suit.

    Did anyone else notice that Springer's waist/crotch is backwards? It looks like it's got screw holes facing the front.

    Minimus Ambus should have been recolored into Daniel wearing his exo-suit.

    That Autobot Heroes set is gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Love all the figures they used.

    That Titan Force set is 2/3rds cool. They gave Windblade Fort Max's color scheme for some reason, yet they missed a great opportunity to give Sentinel a Blue and yellow color scheme. Its nice they at least made the RID figure look better, but really? Its just a simplified generations Windblade with a different color scheme, big whoop.

    for once my wallet is actually thanking Hasbro; too much rehash for me although i think the sets are cool.

    good news is i feel like i can get Victorion and the G2 sets without remorse now.

    I feel like the ambus figure should have been Spike or Daniel. Major missed opportunity.

    Which one? I've got the Gen Arcee, and don't see where its required for anything. I didnt even know she had storage underneath until I saw a video.

    They could drop the Blurr figure to cut costs both on Hasbro's end to make and the price it will be on shelf. Reason being TR Blurr will probably be on the shelves at the same time and will make some potential buyers have second thoughts. I also wish they could make Magnus' guns white already... Otherwise it is a decent set.

    TFTM set is pretty nice, and Brainstorm looks awesome.

    Autobot set is a huge skip especially if your like me and have/pleased with the original figures.

    I want to like the SDCC set but I don't want to pay for a repaint of Windblade when I get the better version for 15 dollars later on and then theres Brainstorm. Can he please get a retail release!? I want a Brainstorm I can actually like.

    OOH! I like the looks of that Autobot Heroes set. It has a few molds I never got, in superior decos.

    That Brainstorm coloring looks nothing like the image Hasbro gave. Is this a mishap on Hasbro's end?
