Dropping MP Soundwave for a repaint of classics Perceptor = mind blown.

 

I'll have to see pics before I decide on Reflector. Hardhead should've been Gutcruncher. And Swindle is interesting, wonder what that's about? Maybe its a Classic-style re-tool of Animated Swindle?

 

Well, I have a reasonably complete collection of Classics-mold Decepticons I like to maintain. Come to think of it I probably wouldn't be getting three at those prices because the mold is just not good enough.

As for MP Soundwave, it's already a big expense that I'm considering dropping. I'm more afraid that a US version would have yellow eyes than that it won't actually happen. Soundwave was on Family Guy for heaven's sake.

 

Might get the Hardhead as I like the Warpath mold. Reflector is also a maybe.

 

I have a feeling Swindle is going to use the Universe Hound Mold as that mold had not received much use.

Who thinks these may be some of the next wave of Asian Exclusive Generations figures?

 

Oh well there a lot new expences for me.

 

With the use of United as a line name, that is more than likely.

And yes, Swindle out of Hound, thank you, I'd been trying to remember which mold was a likely Swindle. It's been done before (Alternators Swindle) so it's entirely possible.

The question then is what happens to the Ravage cassette? Classics Howlback?

 

I'm down with Howlback, definitely. Stripes could be an alternative, based on the recent Encore release, though I'd prefer Howlback personally.

 

If takara is doing the repaint/remolds listed on the old generations figures instructions, this gives me hope we might eventually see the alt heads for lugnut and scourge. Really hoping leozack gets a release in shiny colors.

 

These are Takara, or Hasbro Asia? Anyhow, I hope they do come to the U.S., or we get alternate redecos of the molds. I could see Swindle being made from Hound (seeing as we now see simultaneous versions of the same character sometimes like GDO Brawl and FoC Brawl, FoC Jazz & Ultimate Gift Set Jazz). Maybe just replace Ravage altogether with a bigger gun....

Oh, I totally missed the Swindle part. Hound as Swindle might work with a new head. Then I will have to wait and see if FOC Swindle or the other looks better.

 

And let's not forget dotm laserbeak's alternate head. Paint that toy yellow and black, call it buzzsaw and i'd buy it

 

Could be a mix based on previous listings.

Previous listings had TakaraTomy items distributed in Asia (but not all of them distributed in Japan) as well as Hasbro releases. This is because the listing comes from Hasbro Malaysia which distributes TakaraTomy items in addition to Hasbro's.

I have dreamt about a Swindle with a new head (and preferably a new weapon but I could live without that) since Hound was released back in 2008 or what it was. The WFC Combaticons are kind of cool but not nearly as awesome as most of the earlier Classics/Universe/Generations. I'm also hoping for a Blast Off from Classics Astrotrain.

 

Also they list a "United Shockwave" so that's either the FoC mold in asia (as it is listed by Takara as part of the AM series) or a whole new toy/remold.

I would jump on the Hound redone as Swindle though...

 

If he looks remotely like this, I will get him definitely


Since Animated and IDW I think Swindle is really cool  

 

Also if you click throughh to the other site and read the listing, it has Grimlock and Shockwave at the same price... Not sure what's up with that...

 

what were the alternate heads for Scourge and Lugnut? Got a link??

 

As happy as I am that HasTak are giving Reflector some much needed and long overdue attention, their mold choice is ******ed. As we've now seen with several customs, squeezing an equally overdue Generations Soundwave out of that mold makes infinite more sense.

 

Scourge is (probably) Ratbat (looks like Senator Ratbat from the comics) but the head would make a good Leozack too so hopefully we get both down the line.
I don't got a link though.
