    Why couldn't it have been:

    ENCORE 13 - BRUTICUS
    ENCORE 14 - PIRANACON

    Doesn't make any damn sense...are they saving those reissues for the 100th anniversary
    I can't wait that long~~

    It's not too late to have an announcement of a 2009 New Year's Special...

    Is Bruticus a possibility? I'd think the mold has already crumbled to dust after so much usage.

    Ihaving a giftset as a NY special wouldent surprise me , heck I would even say any of the 3 last citybots can get one aswell. ( although I say Fort Max is smallest in chance)

    Bruticus mold is avalible that we know, last used was in 2004 I belive.

    Piranacon was used as the TF club but question is if the stands and such are also avalible but I could live without that.

    Great, pre-ordered!

    Well it's G1, so the legs don't move, shoulder joints can move (360° rotation and a bit up and down) and the elbow can move. Since the fist are "missile", you could rotate them at the wrist I guess. Other than that it's pretty much it. And yes, same mold for Trailbreaker and Hoist, with different head and truck bed.

    If you never had a G1 toys, then just keep in mind that you won't be doing action pose with any of them :p  Between those two, I'd go for Trailbreaker personally, I prefer the character, and I think it's the first time he's beeing re-issued without being limited.

    Most of the pics I've seen online of the Encore version the wings are red which looks more like Laserbeak. Some pics I've seen of the original 84/85 the wings of the bird look more yellow or gold which would indicate it's Buzzsaw. I guess I shoulda looked into this more when he was first released.

    Anyway, I wonder how popular Trailbreaker will be? I waited and picked up Ratchet when he was on clearance for about $25.90 with shipping thanks to my pile at BBTS. Don't wanna spend $35 if I don't have too;)
