Henkei Thrust and Dirge Photos on Gambo

Henkei Thrust and Dirge Photos on Gambo TF1113_02
Some sleuthing on Japanese retailer Ganbo's website has turned up the full-color photos for the eagerly-awaited Henkei exclusives Thrust and Dirge. Thanks to OzFormers' kurdt_the_goat for the nice find!

The photos confirm the two Decepticon Ramjet repaints will both have remolded wings and new paint apps. And from the looks of Thrust's wings, his VTOL engines appear to be able to be removed from the robot's lower legs and mounted on the top of the main wing in jet mode!

Yes, and Grimlock did not initially ship in Wave 2. As the first cases contained Mirage but no Grimlocks. Not long after, Grimlock shipped with Mirage in Wave 2.

So did it really make sense to make 2 more repaints of RAMJET to be released at the same time or close to the same time? This is a fact supported by hasbro's own qualitative research and been said at Botcon.

The movie changed all that and grew the franchise. The need for a realistic vehicle filler line was unexpected which gave an opportunity for re-use of the classic 1.0 molds. And by that time Hasbro had decided not to re-release the exclusives and move on to other designs.

Before: the franchise couldn't support that many characters and classics was a dead line

After: They needed realistic alt mode filler to continue the movie popularity and it could support molds that had been off the shelf for 2 years.

Why do people try to pretend the situation was anything different?
Ah, screw it.

I was going to reply, but it's making my head hurt.

I don't think you and I will ever agree on anything.
