    The Sparkbots were the Kiss Play repaints of the Microchange "Meteor Robo" figures, which turned into little balls. Though they did have some interaction with Primus/Vector Sigma in the Kiss Play story, I imagine it would be a repaint of the "Eggbot" mold (the one that turns into a little dude, not a lion or a bird) as Vector Sigma.

    You'd expect him to be "Deadlock", all right.

    Aw shit, and this just ensured that this one would get my vote if I was voting which I'm not.

    I hope they remold Siren a bit. Because I would want to buy Nightbeat and Siren both, because I had both as a kid.

    Yeah. I know what they are. Snakas says "Sparkbot". I can't see the actual text clearly enough to tell if he's just calling them that because that's the only name for them he could remember or because the actual text mentions something about it. I guess we'll find out when someone gets better scans up or I get my book in hand.

    These are really cool. I especially like that The Fallen is included, along with the Omnibots and Goshooter, along with a G1/ Movie Drift.

    I hope we get a closer look, if only ONE Of these figures will see an actual release. I'd at least like a closer look at them.

    Awesome notes. That settles it for me. GoShooter and Police Sunstreaker are my definite top picks. I hope they continue to use this list for the next few years so we get most of them eventually.

    But they can do GoShooter and Hasbro or TFCC can do Siren (with a Marvel head/Minerva head to be different).

    I have no interest in the omnibots, though I bet I'll end up watching whatever G1 fiction they're in and want all the toys, which will be at high prices at aftermarket. -_- Alpha Trion it is!

    A3 is probably the lowest priority for me because I think the Botcon one is awesome.

    I'm guessing he Legends Targetmasters will be their favoured things to use for weapons.

    I hope someone can pass on the suggestion of naming Police Sunstreaker 'Checkpoint' as I think that was an excellent suggestion Takara needs to hear/read.

    Well, not that it means much, but Takara has never used the name "Checkpoint"... It was pure Hasbro. That's why I suggested "Mach Alert". Police lambo.

    I've gotten less and less interested in these. Not sure I'd really want any one of them.

    1.) Alpha Trion: I've got the Botcon version, I don't have a need to spend money on another expensive exclusive. The vector sigma partner is an interesting idea. I wonder if instead of one of those keychain sparkbot figures if they'd use Unicron's Dead End minicon

    2.) Fallen: I never cared much about the Fallen, and done in such a lackluster mold? No interest.

    3.) Police Sunstreaker: Why? He's so easy to kitbash. Get a Sunstreaker head and a Generations Red Alert. Strip some paint, add some black details. Checkpoint might be an okay name, Mach Alert I like better, but if I was making a new character for him I'd probably call him Speedtrap.

    4.) "G2" Universe Smokescreen: It is a fun/kooky idea. I'd really love to see the Terradive/Spacecase mold used for G2 Smokescreen though...even if he'd be taller than Generations Dreadwing they'd still pair well together

    5.) Black Drift: I was never impressed with Drift, and rarely impressed with drab Black repaints

    6-8.) The Omnibots are mostly of interest as a group, getting 1 would seem odd, plus I have Rapido(red Prowl), Wheel-Track's mold been done in white a few times, and that Ironhide mold is horrible. I already use Universe Aveo Swerve as my Overdrive, Downshift's easy to kitbash(get a Wheeljack & a Tracks, strip some paint, switch some parts and you've got Downshift and Slicer ...mine are WIPs at the moment)

    9.) Silverbolt looks great, but BM colors would seem more fitting.

    10.) Go-Shooter... really probably the only one I would consider buying. But I'd rather get a new mold or a repaint of Energon Prowl or Energon Downshift for him. I've got the club Nightbeat and Energon Inferno I use as my pseudo-Classics Hosehead, so a Siren to fit with them would be cool. Hmm... maybe one of the Energon Prowl's is close enough to stand in... if only Energon Prowl was Gray/Blue instead of Blue/Gray...haha!

    Uh...so...sirens and a partner? Make the partner Ai-chan, call him Mach Alert, and then name your price, Takara. :D

    Police sunstreaker with siren and partners and you can take my money now. Whatever happen to clampdown and deepcover? Last three bots i want from that mold and then they should just do away with the thing.

    My initial reaction upon seeing this on the front page was mainly leaning towards Goshooter, in some measure from watching Masterforce a couple of times, and it seemed like a more focused choice than hoping for all of them to pick from.

    On reflection though, a Nightbeat toy re-purposed into an emergency service vehicle would normally turn out to be Minerva, or so one might expect. The flip side is that Goshoota was Siren's Japanese counterpart, and I thought that someday down the line it would be neat if the latter accumulated a bit more exposure and character development in MTMTE such that he got his own toy. Fanciful as it seems, that would be the ideal way to get a Goshoota toy, though I understand that this project is reusing Generations figures and the like.

    Silverbolt gets my vote. I like Alpha Trion also.
