    Looks great, except for the horrible light gray plastic that Hasbro is forcing on a lot of figures for some reason.

    Hopefully, Takara's version will have more paint apps.

    Incidentally, where are his magnets?

    Wow, he's awesome! Can't wait! Now to get the rest of the mini-bots the scout treatment. Come on Gears and Brawn and Huffer! (I have the Botcon Huffer, but I want another one with smokestacks for arms and the hood in bot mode)

    Awesome! Windcharger was the very first TF I got in '84 and this updated version is awesome. The show-inspired healdscuplt is beautiful.

    Beauty...Can't wait to add this guy to my Classics collection. It would be nice if all the 84-86 minibots were made into the scout class.

    Looks basic...which is not a problem. It's 100% Windcharger and that is what people like :)

    Wonder if the rub symbol is off center on purpose. Looks great otherwise. Kind of a mix between movieverse and CHUGUN.

    I wasn't initially planning to get this, but that plan is starting to change.

    That's the first time I've marveled at a Scout-class car mode in a while. Looks great!

    Hopefully Takara will release this with a real autobot symbol instead of these stupid rub signs, and some paint. I can't stand the rub signs!!

    The second I looked at the car mode I thought of G1 Windcharger. What a sweet little toy.

    I though that he was supposed to come with real magnets, for some reason.

    This may have been answered already, but I'm a little confused. Will the Reveal the Shield figures have "borderless" rubsigns or the square ones like Windcharger is sporting in these pics?
