I hope this is new, if not we can blame Sol Fury or myself for just being slow.

Sweet! More Repaints!

If someone gets this before me i'd be interested to know the colour differences on the Optimus Prime (if any).

Sometimes the colour differences just don't show up in photos (like how 3 pack Bumblebee is actually more of a metal flake gold colour rather than yellow).

To Hollywood Hoist : I believe Bumblebee is a slightly different colour to normal Megatron is a unique scheme of Black and gold and Brawl is Green instead of sandy coloured. As I said though Not got a cue about Optimus yet.

The same set came out in the UK on Saturday too.

Well, this Optimus' eyes are blue, opposed to the other two that are out now, who have yellow eyes.

more power to the people who collect these things..

but..

i feel like they're just further diluting the brand. i wish they'd just nix these things and focus more on giving us better deluxe, voyager, and leader figures.

but hey, if some people like them.. who am i to say that they shouldn't be made. i just have no interest in them

MP soundwave, sideswipe, and red alert just can't come soon enough.

Is the black and gold one a repaint of the green one (or vice versa)? I hate when they do a pack like this and one of the figures in it is a repaint of one of the other figures in it. I don't buy repaints. They couldn't have just stuck a Starscream in there instead of the repaint one to balance things out so it was Megatron and Starscream versus Optimus and Bumblebee? This pack could've been my first Bot Shots purchase just for the appeal of Optimus and Megatron and their trailer things in one go, but that added repaint (if it is) just puts me off. Petty? Probably. But petty has powerful influence when it comes to me opening my wallet or not.
