    Not saying they should retool that Cybertron mold for E1 but that a new mold should be developed with both E1 and Override in mind...

    no pre order (as of 6/7/15) of these on BBTS, just he Vehicon General/ Commander figure (with a normal gun, no more Arms Micron) and the Dinobot repaints

    yeah, I may get theses, though I'll see if they announce them for the US at Botcon (doubtful, but still, one never knows)

    Funny I'm the exact opposite. Love my Black Convoy to bits and really don't care for the RTS Laser Prime figure.

    I've heard some people think the same.

    I could dig this. Also SG Elita-1 was a repurposed Override GTS.

    I would have thought the same.

    I'm still bugged by the retooling of an Animated Black arachnid. But i'll wait and see what she looks like in colour.

    That being said I'd be down for them trying to re mold Blurr and Rodimus into classics style.

    Staked my claim and preordered all three. Might cancel Night Bird as we approach September. Still on the fence with her.

    Here's a YouTube clip from back in 2011 where someone repainted their Animated Blackarachnia in Beast Wars colours:

    Sure, this is just a repaint, but it could be a good indicator of what the Takara version could look like.

    Sleep Stream? Odd name choice. Wonder if Takara couldn't trademark it or something? PO'd all three ladies, all the same.

    Most likely just a translation oversight, like "Rockdown." "Slipstream" and "Sleepstream" would sound virtually identical and be spelled the same.
