chenkofs of the Actoys Forums has posted new images of the upcoming Universe figures Countdown and Darkwing, including our first look at the robot mode for Countdown. These figures are rumored to be Toys ‘R Us exclusives in the United States. Click on the image to the left to view all of the new shots.

They both look absolutely amazing.

I suggest "Rolling Dildo".

Wha? I thought they were two of the Universe exclusives…. Can someone who's seen the packages respond to that?
Skylock
I don't think its been determined, but probably after the main waves have finished. I'm guessing April.
ThinkTank Customs
i think next year in reveng eof the fallen packageing
UltraMagnus2008
Probably a stupid question but does anyone know just when he's coming out?
Skylock
If he is in fact TRU release, I doubt he will be in short supply. He'll be sought of more than the TRU movie exclusives, but I think we should be alright finding him.

Countdown looks great in these new photos! Hopefully, he won't be in short supply!

Bot-mode looks really good, so he's officially on my to-get list. Though I do hope these two don't end up as TRU exclusives. I'd rather them be Target exclusives, as they would then be a whole lot easier for me to attain (bad memories from trying to get a TRU Soundwave almost two years ago). I might also get Darkwing, though I'm not sure yet. Might be one of those in-person decisions. Though that's assuming I'll ever see one in-person.

he was ultra!
UltraMagnus2008
Damn didn't know he was an Ultra I'll take 2! One for movie re-paint Crosshairs, one for Movie re-paint Strongarm, and maybe a 3rd for a Universe Style Bonecrusher ( all minus the ridiculous rocket)
artiepants
yeah, Countdown is surprisingly full of win.

oh, the paintjob is well done and very "Darkwing" but i mean the specific molded details, body build, etc.
i didn't have near as hard a time "seeing" Dreadwind out of Jetfire.
Robogeek28
Loving those new pics!
[Wing_Saber-X]
err, I dunno dude. I kinda get a "Darkwing" vibe from SB's repaint. Heh. G1 Victory whore. Sigh.

yeah, that mold is so specifically Silverbolt i just can't get into Darkwing

Dark Wing head still look like a black helmet on silverbolt.

Since I already have 06 Botcon Megs and Red Alert, Countdown is a must. Again since I have the original G1 Darkwing and 07 Botcon Dreadwind this is another must have. Two thumbs up!
