    I'm kind of paranoid now that the Blitzwing could develop GPS.

    I don't know - all I get from this is either a 49ers vs Broncos vibe, or a Seminoles vs Gators vibe. The designer has to be a fan of one of these. . .

    I'm passing this guys up...I'm a sucker for G1 reissues but they must be in their original colours or at least 90% in their original colours!

    Eh, I may pick them up, but add them on the G2 shelf.

    What did you expect? This is Hasbro's new collector strategy to combat 3rd parties - release a bunch of overpriced garbage and hope impulsive collectors are left broke.

    That's about $15 less than I thought it would be. Actually not bad.

    Yeah, i was expecting it to be $80 like the Insecticons (sure you get 3 of them, but they are smaller) I'd probably pay that for original or anime colors, but it's still about $55 to expensive for KO colors...

    so i just bought these at Crowemags in Raleigh, and I can\'t find a clear answer as to why the weird colors. Has anything been revealed on this? I am watching the 2nd review video on these right now while searching online.

    Blitzwings colors are a tribute to Flywheels and Astrotrains are from a canceled NASA tie in or something from what I remember

    Thanks guys. I was watching older video reviews that had some strange theories that I couldn't agree with. It is so weird that they did that, though. It looks so bootleg, especially Astrotrain. The Blitzwing looks rather cool in his colors, but I really still wish I had my original G1 again. I buy these to replace the ones I lost, and while these are interesting, they don't do the trick.
