Site sponsor Robotkingdom.com has updated their Facebook page with packaging images of 1 of the more extensive retooled figures we’ve seen this year, Generations Sandstorm! They actually have this figure in-stock and ready to ship, so it might not be too much longer before we see this at US retail. To wet your appetite further, here’s the character bio:
SANDSTORM lives for action. His only real fear is a fear of boredom. As a result, he takes unnecessary risks, both in combat and out – risks that can sometimes threaten the success of his missions. He lives fast, loud, and dangerously – traits that make him fun to hang out with most of the time. But his fellow AUTOBOTS are getting a little sick of his habit of giving away his position to the DECEPTICONS just so he has the opportunity to enjoy a fight.Read on to check out Sandstorm in-package!

You can hardly tell this is a Springer Retool and that is a good thing He will look Great with My Wreckers

YES. Sandy looks fan-freakin'-tastic.

Well, this won't make holding off for the Takara versions any easier. Looking good; it's very tempting to put together a big shipment including Sandstorm!

I want a review just to make sure the retool didn't create any nasty issues, but Springer was awesome and the idea if rounding out the autobot triple changers is exciting!

You mean this? (yes, its springer, but essentially it is the design for it.) I would agree that I would love to see more Hasbro design team sketches for toys like this.

Beast Wars Megatron is in this wave, too, right?
Yggdrasil
Man thig guy looks gooooood!
I really wish we could see Roche's design on which this is based though.

Right? I'm seriously reeling at just how many parts appear to have been retooled! I was amazed at the differences between Universe Inferno and RTS Grapple, but they now pale in comparison. Definitely gettin this guy! I just hope the axle supporting the big back wheels doesn't look as weak and flexable as the promo pics suggest.
