    I guess they had that fanvote boxset and decided they'd throw a redeco character in because they were rightfully nervous about a boxset with exclusive deco's of toys of which they would sell the regularly version at retail would be a hard sell without an extra incentive.

    Got HotShot and the Powerdasher yesterday at Entertainment Earth’s NYCC booth. So frustrating as they only let lottery winners purchase them. Keep in mind they let you stand in line for an hour and a half before they bother to tell you about the lottery restriction.

    They came with exclusive character pubs at the show.

    My thought exactly. It just seems so thrown together at the last minute, that they couldnt even bother to put in in either form in the box, just pieced out in the back.

    Must be nice to live in a fantasy world where Smokejumper is available on October 1st. I've had mine preordered with Pulse for 6 months and it's still not shipped.

    Hell, they still don't have preorders for Siege Barricade and Rung.

    Hotshot should've been RID2015 Strongarm with a richer blue coloring.

    Although I love how Smokescreen's red all but disappears in his robot mode, he's a pass. I have Prowl and I'm not terribly bowled over by the mold. (Car front just doesn't work for me. Plus I'm a zealous 280Z fan and a transformers fan, So I've always loved Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen, but this just,,, fails.)

    I haven't been impressed with Hound either once I finally saw him at retail (this might also have to do with my growing disenchantment with Siege in general, cybertronian forms aren't weird enough.) but Hot Shot's blue really makes this mold pop in a way Hound's green doesn't. Headsculpt is on point, and I'm just gonna ignore that part on the bio where they forget that HotShot was a CAR first (and yellow) before he became Cybertron Defense HotShot.

    As much as I disliked Energon I'd gladly take a few homages from there too. Ironhide to Snowcat's still a dream and if they ever did a new Scorponok I'd get it day 1.
