Johnator:
I Must Have Those!!
OptimistPrime:
Galvatron is quite a bit different in this new official picture than the other one that we've seen. Not just referring to the lack of "shiny" photoshop effects, either. Legs are different, decepticon symbol on the should is different.

Poho:
acid storm looks delicious.
Dinobot Nuva:
Do want both, wish Hasbro would hurry up and offer them for preorder, and re-offer Tankor as well (he's the only one I missed ).

Powersa:
Come out and play!

Galvatron looks boring in tank mode.
Takara_destron:
Can't wait for them both, especially Galvatron.
ThundeR-CrackeR:
Sigh ... How i just dislike the new Universe Line ...
There is NOTHING interesting in it ( my oppinion, plz dont flame )

except for ...

Well Galvi seems a little interesting ... might pick him up when he hits clearence
And the Robot Heroes are damn cute as usual ...
Basketball Jones:
The Classics line is the ultimate line for seeker enthusiasts- where else could we not only expect all six seekers, but the Rainmakers as well?

More Decepticon troops are always a good idea, particularly when the mold is as solid as Classics SS.
Fosterlager:
At least the Universe line puts faction symbols on the damn toys and not rubsigns.

That's because in the new pics, both figures are actually transformed correctly! Here's hoping somebody at Hasbro has finally figured out how to work and photograph their toys!

As for Galvy's shoulder, I assume the old pic is a hand-painted prototype, and the new one is a production sample. Glad to see more purple on him!
onesock:
The toys look amazing, but the art is still that boring, standing here doing jack pose.
Skywave:
Loving Acid Storm Indifferent to Glavatron, but will probably take him anyway
doomtron:
ill take three seekers and two galvys
Peanut04:
I'm really looking forward to these two hittign retail. Now we need to hear about a new mold for Kup and I'll be one happy man.
Ravenxl7:
Cool new pictures of the two. I'm looking forward to Acid Storm, and any other Seeker repaints we may get. Galvatron on the other hand, is looking worse the more I see him, though there are certain details of the mold I like. The head sculpt is nice, the shade of purple is great, and his arm-cannon looks awesome, but that's about it. I most likely won't be getting him, but there's a slim chance I could still end up getting him. It's not the size of him that bothers me, it's more or less the mold in general. Honestly, I won't be surprised if it turns out the design was originally meant for the Titanium line. Here's hoping that Cyclonus turns out better than this.
Razerwire:
These simply can't come out quick enough.
giga-galvatron:
only Galvatron leads.....
RobotoChan:
Really not interested in more seekers, I am getting rather tired of it to be honest.
Once you have transformed one of them, you have transformed them all.
I don't see the fun in repaints, no matter what the character.

Just my opinion, don't shoot me down.
Omnius:
Aaaaaaaaaaah - want!!
General Tekno:
"Behold - Galvatron!"

Love him. His headsculpt just SCREAMS 'Galvatron'.

I'm liking the new version more. There's more purple in it.

Agreed. Rubsigns are teh sux0rs.

If you had told me they were going to do one of the Seekers in camouflage I would have immediately thought it was a stupid idea.

But I will buy Acid Storm on first sight -he looks awesome.

Makes me wonder if they will reuse the ramjet mold as one of the other rainmakers.
Paladin:
Galvatron's still the only one from this line I really want.

I hope so, to mix things up a little. Make Sunstorm another repaint of the Starscream mold a store exclusive, and the purple rainmaker the second mass-release use of Ramjet, and I'll be more than satisfied.

I take it from that comment you weren't there at Botcon. Trust me, out of EVERY Universe 2.0 toy I have seen, Cyclonus looks the most impressive. Bar none. He's absolutely incredible and spot-on in both modes (but with more guns in vehicle mode).

It's meant to entice you to open the box! "Helppp meeee! I can't mooove until you release meeee!"
Razorbeast:
As interseting as Galvatron seems, I'm WAY more interested in getting another classics seeker mold, seeing as I've only got classics Starscream and Ramjet....stupid botcon exclusives......

I demand hasbro release all the botcon exclusives as part of the new universe line!!!
Muahahahahahahahahahaa!!!!!
tamo536:
classic seekers
Scourge_151:
Not totally sold on Acid Storm at the moment, but I'll probably pick Galvatron up.
clonemanager:
I want that Galvatron's head .
butz:
Look better than before in those new pics... which just makes the wait for them that much worse. Oh well.
Since it was kinda brought up here, what kinda extra guns was Cyclonus shown to have? And is Nightstick his only gun in bot mode?
Kimmer:
i'll probably pick both of these up but i'm not too excited about them. all i know is if i do get galvatron,being in package will be the only time i see him in that horrible alt mode.

I'm hesitant to say much more than I already have, as only one pic was shown of each mode and my memory is admittedly getting fuzzier every week, but I THINK Nightstick is his only gun in bot mode, as shown. Could be more, and logically due to all the guns on the top of his jet mode, he probably does, but it wasn't shown in the picture.

He IS A+ awesome, though. You can 100% trust me on that.
Omega Charge:
I like Galvatron.
Incepticon:
I'll always be happy about more Seekers, especially made from the kickass Classics mold, but I honestly & truly hate Acid Storm's deco. I know military jets use camo deco and all - I just don't think this particular color scheme looks very good. I hope this is a one-off and the same approach isn't applied to Sunstorm or the rumored Rainstorm figure. I much prefer the clean paintjobs of the original Classics, even more so than the plain jane BotCon & Henkei versions.

Galvatron looks good too, but I'm not sure if I'll actually buy it. I have a real issue with his tiny size. But I said that about Classics Megs colors and I still bought it anyway, so it'll likely be the same situation here. Damn habit.
Ricochet:
Galv looks so badass!

Nope, I unfortunately wasn't there. Hopefully it won't be too long till the rest of us get to see a picture or two of Cyclonus, Nightstick, Hound, and Ravage.

Sounds interesting. I wasn't expecting guns on the top of his jet mode. Here's hoping that we get at least one more targetmaster figure in the Universe/Classics/25th Ann. line, and possibly a headmaster or two.
Ash from Carolina:
The seekers mold takes to really well to the camo pattern so fingers crossed we can get the other Rainmakers without having to deal with the exclusives mess all over again just to get the team.
alien:
erm...both are pretty sweet...will get it all~
Valkysas:
I wasnt really excited about Galvatron before, but I really like the changes made for the production version. I want it now.

Oh, please, no..... with all due respect, there is already so much complaining with every line about getting the full "team" of primary Seekers. I hope people don't suddenly start asking for or expecting the full team of (the much more obscure) Rainmakers, too. It's a nice little G1 homage for Hasbro to toss out ONE Rainmaker, but I think folks would be setting themselves up for disappointment if they are waiting with bated breath for the other two.

I really do mean this respectfully, for I too would like as many Classic Seekers as I could get. I would love for more generics in different palettes to be released. Rainmakers, purple drones, brand new characters, etc. It would be great. I just don't think we should take them as a given.
GladiatorPrime:
Yup! I want those!
Railguard:
Yes. I will be buying these as soon as I see them at Walmart. Yes, I will buy them all!!!!

Well to be totally honest, I do see them atleast making one more seeker to reuse the ramjet mold. My guess if they do it will be the purple rainmaker fig.
Ktulu:
I still think Galvy's paint looks unfinished or something, and the orange is just weird

I've done a 3rd NO/YES picture lulz



IT HAV 2 BE MOAR LIEK GEEWUNnnN

Honestly, I really want Sunstorm (not sure why they did Acid Storm before him), but anything after that is just cake to me.

I think why so many people (myself included) are assuming we'll get at least 1 more Rainmaker is because Aaron Archer himself said at Botcon that they'll be squeezing as much use out of this mold as they can, heavily implying that Acid Storm isn't the end of things.
shifty02:
Okay, I must have been living under a rock, but who are the Rainmaker seekers??
optimus major:
acidstorm's boxart is AWSOME

while galvalittle's box art's heat looks weird

still will get both.....YAY MORE SEEKERS....I NEED MORE DECEPTICONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Abrogate:
That Galvatron bot mode pic makes him look quite a bit better than before. I... think this is actually the first picture where his right arm isnt sticking out, thus proving that yes, he can move the damn thing. He still looks cluttery, and I don't like the way his feet look, but he at least looks manageable now.
