    I feel that I might buy the set even though I already have a REGULAR Astrotrain. Seriously, they only cost around 40-60 bucks and blitzwing even more. Hasbro is trying something new. Like the YOTG series, people bitched over the colors and yet they are going fast online. Its like getting MP-10 in a diff...oh wait that already happened. Get a grip and be a bit optimistic. I like the majority enjoy blitzwing, and even though he does have that orange, he still looks nice. If you don't want astrotrain, sell it or give it to someone to paint. God. All I wanted was some reissues.

    Do you really mean that? I had to look it up to see what it meant.

    Hell yeah, why not! Slap some Autobot logos on them call Blitzwing "Ram" and Astrotrain "Rom" Maybe too on the nose, who knows, but hell why not. Given time I'm sure there is computer puns that can be made up.

    I feel very indifferent on Astrotrain. But Blitzwing does indeed look cool!

    If I knew they weren't going to be stupid pricey I would consider them. Maybe I'll be surprised though. It's an interesting concept and I don't have these molds yet.

    What the fuck is this garbage? This company really has something wrong with it.

    Worst reissues of all time. I hope they end up selling for a penny, which is still a rip off. Blitzwing has yet to have a U.S. re-release and Astrotrain has yet to have a U.S.-colored re-release and instead we get this. At this point there really is no denying they just don't get fans and probably never will. This is the most random, unjustified, ugly, neon, and sure to be overpriced release possibly of all time. The best part is, they aren't even new characters.

    Shit, I forgot about Lincoln Park Soundwave. Seriously, what is wrong with this company? Do they not like popular products? Do they not have more than 5 seconds to spend on each release?

    Just begs a simple, yet impossible question: why?

    The orange on Astrotrain is freaky but whats wrong with Blitzwing's new colors, other than he has new colors?

    Bleh.

    Why do this? I agree that it's a blown opportunity, as someone stated earlier.

    The original colors have already been reissued, and the actual originals are cheap and plentiful. You can get them for $30 each complete no problem.

    Like someone else said, these are like Ehobby releases. If they come out to $50 a piece, I will nab them. These are awesome. I wish Astrotrain had MORE orange.
