General Tekno:
PURPLE FACTION SYMBOLS.
Yes. It's about time.
Hopefully Zellers gets these.
Vangelus:
Can I take a moment to laugh in triumph at every time I told someone "The purple repaint is beyond inevitable, guys"? XD
0R10N P4X:
Purple Longarm? Ewww...
drill:
...
I think I'm going to have to wait until the Shockwave comes out. Beautiful.
But why couldnt have he come with any other activator! I own BB already! I wish he came with Cliffjumper.
Locustreign:
OK I'm waiting on Shockwave til this baby comes out
And damn my love of Sunstorm. I'm trying to cut down on Animated dammit!!!

Dunno about Sunstorm, since Voyager Starscream's had its fair share of complaints, but at least you'd know its head was included! Shockwave is bought for sure.
Sinestro:
Now that is the Shockwave i want!
Obvious Prime:
Definitely buying both. Do want.
0R10N P4X:
Btw, is Shockwave really a lefty?
Digilaut:
Awesome!! I just wish that there would be a voyager Thundercracker though...or maybe one of the white seeker..Dirge? Still, I need this one.
The purple Shockwave is badass as well, but they should have gone with a yellow lens...still good!
Megatronwp38:
Oh I am so waiting for this shockwave! Any time frame or release? I think I will also get that Sunstorm!
Ravenxl7:
Both look really good. I might get the origional Shockwave to display as Longarm Prime, get this repaint to display as Shockwave, and probably get this Sunstorm to display with Skywarp, once I get him. I already have an Activators Bumblebee, and really have no interest in Activators Ratchet, though I'll probably find something to do with them. Maybe kitbash Ratchet as Ironhide or Trailbreaker, and Bumblebee as Wasp. It's a good thing they're Target exclusives, as that means I'll actually have a chance of getting them. Hopefully they don't come out till sometime next year, as I already have plenty I need to buy in the next couple of months.
Hiro Prime:
Gawd-Damn I love Target!
I want all of the Starscream Clones in Voyager size. If it takes having them made as exclusives, I'm all for it.
The Shockwave looks good as well in purple surprisingly. I may just keep this one as my Shockwave on my 'con shelf and the grey one as Longarm on my 'bot shelf.
Omega Charge:
So the purple Shockwave repaint is happening after all.
And the Sunstorm pack Hasbro mentioned is real too.
Cool. I like the gray Shockwave better though.
General Tekno:
Since part of me feels like gloating, even though I'm well aware that everyone was thinking we were gonna get this...

Except for their not changing the red paint apps, I was right.
...Mind you, it was also pretty darn obvious.
G1Wheeljack: 
Definitley getting Shockwave, not sure about Sunstorm yet though.
hutchprime:
Mine. Sold. Now. Yesterday.
When?
AniProwl:
I would buy the glorious repaint of the best traitor of the wonderful world of Animated.
Ra88:
Must have purple Shockwave. As for purple Longarm: Maybe Shockwave gets rid of his disguise after his cover has been blown? *shrug*
Darkravager:
I also like both of them. Depending on that they sell for, I will most likely get at least Sunstorm.

I think I get to share some of that for saying it on the podcast.
WhiteMocha:
YES!
Man, these are an instant buy for me. Seeker repaint + activators I don't own + purple Shockwave = plastic happiness.
FANTASTIC.
I've been jonesing for a Shockwave repaint so badly. I keep him in Longarm mode in my collection, so it feels like I don't own a Shockwave! These cannot hit stores soon enough.
Motor_Master:
Any idea on when these will be released?

Yeah but isn't that tantamount to saying the sun will rise in the east?
djmagic:
I am so glad I saw this thread, now I'm not going to go hunting for a second shockwave. Will purchase both and maybe give away or sell the activators. Any release date on these?

I'm thinking August since that's when Hasbro Austrailia said Sunstorm's coming out, a long wait but pleanty of time to save up as there's so much other awesomeness coming out next year. I'm thinking these will be around $25-$30 pricepoint based on what's included.
Tash:
I only buy show-accurate toys, so I'll be skipping purple Shockwave. Sunstorm, however, is a must-buy.
AniProwl:
I noticed that they finally put a new image of Ratchet as box art.
Omegus Prime:
This is great, now I can have Longarm and Shockwave on display at the same time and they wont even look like repaints... and someone tell me why Target once again is getting ALL of the nice exclusives?!
Otispq:
I dont' mind having two of the Shocky mold. not so sure about the SS repaints though...
shibamura_prime:
Sweet. Glad I held out on that Activators 'Bee!
Deceptigtar:
both are mine!
Prometheum5:
Bah... I want the Shockwave set, buy I already have Activators BB.
Tim Formas:
I'm guessing we've got another endcap coming sometime next year. These two packs, along with the Superion and Bruticus Maximus packs. Maybe some other Hasbro lines on the endcap, maybe some more exclusive Transformers stuff to be revealed.
UltraMagnus2008:
Definetly wainting on Shockwave till these come out I plan on bashing him to remove longarm bitz anyway so this is perfect!
Sunstorm I will be skipping though I bought Starscream and returned his ass that toy sucked!
Omegatron1:
Good. Now I can hold off on hunting for Shockwave. And I don't buy many repaints of fiures I alreadyt have, but Sunstorm...that's tempting.
Beastbot X:
Those two redecoes are SWEET. Looks like Ramjet and She-scream are the only Seekers left to get releases, now, and I'm sure that'll happen soon enough.
What's interesting about Shockwave is that that was how he was planned to be colored ORIGINALLY, going by the concept art in the latest issue of the TFCC magazine, but I imagine it was changed so that in Longarm mode he wouldn't look so obviously Decepticonish.
Sucks mightily that they'll be coming with two Activators that aren't repainted, though. I didn't mind it as much with the current two Target Animated exclusives, as at least we knew about those before the single-packaged Legends figures came out, so we could make a decision on whether to hold off getting the Legends or not. Anybody want a free Activators Ratchet & Bumblebee?
TheMonarch:
Verdict: Waiting for purple Shockwave, Sunstorm FTW
SmokescreenGT:
Nice. I'll be picking both these guys up. I'll keep the purple version in Shockwave mode and the regular greyish one in Longarm mode.
kylash327:
WIN! Man i love Target.
Paradigm-Shift Prime:
Well whaddya know, repaint schemes that make sense! Even if Sunstorm does seem pretty ugly. Purple Shockwave is a nice G1 homage.
Takara_destron:
Im seriously hoping these get to the UK. Sunstorm is a definate buy and that Shockwave is mighty nice too.
Monkey-Hands:
Nice one!!!
GAUGE0001:
FINALLY!!!!! YES!!!!!!! 2 characters I really wanted, 1 I bought last night lol but now the next 2 are cool looking repaints.
THANK YOU HASBRO!!!
† Sunstorm:
sunstorm?! and i dont even like the animated designs (except shockwave, he rocks)
ponn01:
Have to get sunstorm. Wish I would have known about the Shockwave repaint, I would have waited for the purple one instead.
BustaJesse:
These better be coming to Canada!!!! I love them both
Transbot90210:
With the help of an American Transfan I should be gettin gboth these beautiful pieces of plastic crack.
One question or basically statement and correct me if I'm wrong.
There are 5 clones. Thundercracker, Skywarp, Sunstorm, Dirge and the chick.
There are 3 versions of this toy confirmed now(not including activators, I refer to the voyager size)? SS, SW and Sunstorm.
Any word on the others? Mainly Thundercracker becuase he has an activator. I am wonderign if he will get a voyager sized figure.
Having all 6 starscreams including a female version that looks female would be brilliant.
Thanx
Transbot90210
Smasher:
I'm digging these.
But with the faces on Animated toys being so large and expressive, I wish that the Starscream clones had different expressions.
It will look odd having an army of Seekers that all have that smug smirk.
SPLIT LIP:
Considering that every Digi-bash of Shockwave in purple has looked bad, and I have a personal thing against Sunstorm repaints, I'm surprised that these look so good. I might get both WHEN they come to Zellers.
