    Well Dreadwing is being released in Wave 7 with Goldfire, Swerve and Waspinator. Which is Jan 2014 release date (which will likely be sooner due to the holidays.)

    And in all likelihood Rattrap will be a Lengends class figure which will release after Sharpshot and Tailgate. Provided it doesn't get lost and the Bayformer's black hole of poor distribution and retail SNAFU's.

    Reading the preview it seems that Jhaixus is less mad or am I misreading it

    Swerve is legends, Rattrap is deluxe.

    Yeah, he's seems like a humble scientist going off the dialogue. Or maybe the anomaly is so strange that it confused the batshit insane scientist straight!

    Jhiaxus does not need to go "I'M CRAZY! OOGITY BOOGITY!" every line.

    I thought I posted this first. I guess an admin wasn't on at the time.

    True enough....he wouldn't be much a threat if he didn't act rationale some of the time.

    I'm disappointed that they got rid of Tailpipe's best design feature his four eyes. Now he looks rather plain. :(

    I'm taking Galvatron's chest punching of Jhiaxus, as a "Back off my man".

    Do you really think Nova would have a raving lunatic as a part of his bridge?

    Jhaixus has a cowardly weasel like quality about him. Basically like Starscreams portrayal on TF Prime. Being killed over and over again by Arcee is what officially broke him.

    I thought that was obvious.

    Splendid, do you have a PO Box?

    For everyone questioning Jhiaxus not being an absolute loon here it's obvious. This is before they all went into the Benzuli Expanse portal to the Dead Universe. He wasn't nearly as crazy back then as he is now.

    I thought Nova not being diabolical embodiment of dead universe power was enough to go on. maybe they could have kept that vintage marvel comics style and coloring like they did for the Omega Supreme and metrotitan arc in robots in disguise for this stuff since its so far in the past.

    Then again there probably are better reasons why they did that in terms of cybertronian mythology for the titans and omega surpreme.
