    Has there been any confirmation that its Leozack and Skyquake?

    Maybe they are G1 Micromaster Tailwind and G2 Eagle Eye repaints

    Well, Andy Wildman accidentally let Skyquake slip. He apparently did the art for the bio, and said it was Skyquake. Leozack is just an educated guess. I mean, it's not a name that should be hard to get, and the likeness is almost dead on. I'm just curious now about the other attendee ones.

    Sorry if this has already been asked, but is it generally believed that one of these 2 will be the final piece of the boxed set and the other will be the attendee exclusive?

    No. It's generally believed that one of them will be the Attendee free figure, and the other will end up in a two pack with someone else as an attendee exclusive.

    And the reason Leozack would suck as the attendee freebie is that so many people want him (whether it be because of his G1 self, or he can go with 2005 Deathsaurus, or a combination of both).

    I belive Leozak is not in the box set just SkyQuake.

    but if Leo is the free toy man thats going to make a lot of fans happy when they sell em on Ebay for stypid money

    that's new to me. I'd be tempted to say no other wise that's all people would be talking about with this years set.

    Neither of them are in the boxed set... We've already seen 4 of the 5 in the boxed set, and I don't think either Leozack or Skyquake are going to be called Thunderclash....

    That's one option... also possible Leozak & Skyquake are together as a bagged two pack... similar to the Virulent Clones in 2005 and Buzzsaw/Laserbeak in 2006

    I ahve no intention on getting them, but i will say how much I liek them... Leozack seems totalyl suited for the mold, and Skyquake doesn't look too bad either.

    The only thing I am not too keen on his how they have the translucent parts on them that came from the original E. Starscream... I believe that was to emphisise that he had those ghostly powers? I could be wrong... But wasn't there a version of th mold where it was all solid plastic?

    It sort of makes sense for Skyquake as translucent green was a big part of the Predator line, but Leozack in solid colours might have been better.

    It just makes both figures look so uneven to me, no symmetry at all. I do remember the Predator's havnig all that translucent crap on them, but then again so did most of the TF's released at that time. But will say it doesn't look too bad on Skyquake.

    No remolds, they're just straight repaints of the original figure. The head seems absolutely perfect for Leozack, they even painted on the little red "eyes" on top of his head!
