    So far, they've been Ultras.

    For what little it's worth, it IS a pretty accurate face color.

    As a fan who grew up with G2, the homage is impressive. G2 had more than tacky color schemes- there were some great new molds in that set.

    Having both the TFC reissue and my war-torn G2 original, I can honestly say I prefer the G2 revision to the fists- the G1 fists are prone to accidental firing.

    The bulkiness of the mold reflects the animation model. I imagine Botcon '09 will be bringing us a Red Alert to team up with him.

    Inferno is definitely growing on me - at the very least, it's very true to it's G1/G2 roots.

    I'm also starting to warm up to Dragstrip as well - seeing that the yellow isn't as godawfully bright as the HTS product photos made it look - this looks much more accurate to the shade of yellow used on the original figure.

    I do beleive I will be buying Inferno and the rest. The Ultra's are off my list cause of the cost. But does anyone know if they have come out with a Deluxe version of Jazz for the Universe line?

    :lol  You know... I've seen that posted before and every time I get a chuckle out of imagining that being said in Nemoy's voice. :lol 

    Well, like I said, based on the interview it's very likely that this is the case.
