    Siege G2 Sideswipe doesn't make any sense. It's Sideswipe from later on in the war...and also before he came to Earth? But the mold sure does look nice in those colors. Not nice enough to replace the MP version, but great to see this as a retail release.

    Slamdance is very, very tempting but I'm not thrilled with the color swap. But he looks really nice otherwise.

    They all look good, just have to watch my budget when buying though. Yep, wallet is screaming.

    A Slamdance figure repainted from Flywheels in a mainstream toyline. I can't believe I live in a timeline where that's a thing!

    I was annoyed a bit that correct alt mode colors means inaccurate colors for Slamdance’s robot mode. Then I remembered I don’t give two shits about Slamdance in the first place, so...

    Sideswipe is fun. Skywarp has all the pros and cons of the mold in question but with Skywarp colors. Overall: more than happy with all these reveals.

    Would you say that these repaints are better than the originals?

    These all look great!  Slamdance from Flywheels, while not perfect, is a really clever reuse of the mold.  And it\'s nice to get a confirmation on Skywarp.  Was expecting him not to get made, honestly.  At least not until 7 years down the road.

    Slamdance as a retool of Flywheels works surprisingly well, though he is upside-down...

    That slamdance is a severe disappointment after the cassettes we got.

    It’s a repaint of Skytread who had a jet shirt and tank pants in G1; the opposite of G1 Slamdance. It’s the correct colors, just with a different combined form.

    We don’t have a Siege Blaster so no Autobot cassettes until then.

    I’m aware. But even without a blaster there’s no reason to not make a ton of cassette bots. They can interact with soundwave and every other figure as armor

    To each their own. I do find it funny how Starscream looks a lot like an Imperial Shuttle.

    Hopefully the Battlemasters are new characters.

    I’m in for Skywarp and Greenlight.

    I\'ll wait for the inevitable seeker 3 pack, with no weathering.

    Looking at you Takara.
