    Isn't that kinda... early? Usually Takara announce their toys like six months in advance.

    Damn ... I really want both Trailbreaker and Hoist ... But so far, the plastic quality of the Encore line havent empressed me at all ...

    For example, my Encore Screamers head is REALLY loose.
    And the plastic gets stress marks way to easy ...

    But damn ... I still have to get these amoung with Thundercracker, Skywarp and Metroplex ... :)

    I already have these, but am glad that we're seeing some new re-reissues. I hope the do Predaking again.

    If they do Predaking I will have to start robbing corner stores for enough $$ to pay for it. :redface2:

    Nice. I have an original TB, but he is really floppy. Nice to see they are doing these guys.

    Hopefully we will see Ramjet & Thrust in Encore now.

    and +1 BRING ON THE E-HOBBY REPAINTS! :D

    Seriously, nobody could be happier about trailbreaker than me, I've wanted one for so long but he always seemed so expensive compared to some of the others, but seriously, I want more decepticons damn it.....why does it seem like only the autobots get reissue love, where are the encores of like, shockwave or some headmasters......

    Glad to see Trailbreaker & Hoist as separate release as I have the TRU Hasbro. I can see Hoist joining Ironhide as the new encore shelfwarmer. What are the odds that the TFCC Seacons set could be reissued with G1 colors as an Encore I wonder?

    Sorry to get off topic but didn't the original Soundwave come with Buzzsaw? The only SW I have is the TRU reissue that has Ravage & Lazerbeak. I'm sure the encore one comes with Lazerbeak instead.

    The original US version came with Buzzsaw.
    I'm not sure what came with the Japanese version.

    However, Buzzsaw was released with the Japanese remold, Soundblaster.
    When the first reissue of Soundwave (book style) was released he came with Lazerbeak, Soundblaster was reissued after and came with Buzzsaw and Ravage, and that pack is what the US reissue is based on, but Buzzsaw was swapped for Lazerbeak.

    The Encore version comes with Buzzsaw.

    Confusing, I know.

    Because those are what they can reissue. Tak/To has not as of yet double dipped very often (the first four, Jazz and BB, that's it) into TFC for reissues. Which leaves there pool for cons very shallow. The coneheads, maybe reflector, Predaking, Sixshot, Galvatron. That's about it.

    Japanese G1 Soundwave came with Rumble.

    (also, "Laserbeak" is spelled with "s", not "z". There was a Beast Wars toy named "Lazorbeak", though.)

    Since my TB is an old G1 one, I'm in for TB.

    Hoist OTOH, I bought as a Japanese reissue some years ago, so I'll pass on that one.

    Ditto!
