    I would like to see new figures for all of the Turbomasters, but the only one I can see getting a new mold would be Thunder Clash (which of course could then be used to make MW Optimus Prime). Unfortunately I don't think they are popular enough to warrant making new molds for them, but I hope to be wrong about that. I'm kind of surprised that Rotorstorm didn't even get a new head either.

    Anyone have a good idea on a head switch if Hasbro ends up dropping this ball?

    He'll be my 4th of that mold and I'll probably get the rumored Deep Cover too. It's a mold I'll gladly quintuple dip on, lol.

    so apparently centurion is now $30? I preordered pack when it was $20 (a really great price). From previous experiences, ie when I got the first two waves of siege deluxes for $10 each due to it being incorrectly priced in the system, I strongly believe that they will honor the price. I could def be wrong tho. I cant wait for octobor so I can get my hands on all those goodies :drool:

    What about Flywheel's head as a Rotorstorm switchout?

    So this is the first time of a mass reveal where I really want none of it. They look cool and all, but we're getting into the too obscure realm. Centurion was in one or two comics. I don't want a 4th iteration of the Siege Sideswipe (I have red, black, and Red Alert). Dead Optimus, I'm fine without it (although Earthrise Optimus is literally my favorite figure of all time). Rotorstorm, maybe down the road at some point I'll change my mind. G1 Blaster, I already have one and I try to shop at Wal-Mart as little as possible (mainly because they don't treat their staff well). SOme of the weapons pack I want, but I can live without it. actually, I just got engaged like 8 days ago and I have to have some adult priorities with my money. But if my fiancee wasn't in my life, I'd probably get at least Rotorstorm. I'm waiting to see if Matrix Workshop puts out any upgrade kits for him that will make him look less like spinister (like they did with Siege Hot Shot). I still didn't get my one transformer purchase of the month yet, but I am holding out to get the Skywarp/Thundercracker 2 pack

    I believe it is the gun that came with Red Alert.

    Seeing Blaster at $29.99 is awesome news! They're really all over the place with these reissue prices aren't they?

    Hope his cassettes are not far behind, as well as new minibots.

    Hasbro had me at Centurion Drone redeco. I'm kind of mildly obsessed with siege Brunt. I have two, and think he's the best decepticon army builder since the TFP Vehicons. The silver one can be my elite unit commander. THEN I noticed the accessory pack. Ooh boy Hasbro, you just know how to take my money.

    Then you would have to go 3D printed or cut off the G1 head and mod it.

    Well, don't be fooled by Blaster's size. He lacks die-cast metal and is basically entirely hollow. I wouldn't be surprised if he and Astrotrain don't actually weigh the same.

    I kinda like Flywheels head. It doesn't have the ears but the overall look is almost there. Better than Spinister, for sure. And still somewhat available.

    I'm in the excited about the reveals camp. However.....the release dates?? October and November???? Mercy, that's a long wait. I was really expecting today to be release day for some new figures.

    They're both yellow Lamborghini's. That's enough for me to not waste my money on Tigertrack. I don't need 2 of them. I probably won't get either of them considering I already have Combiner Wars Sunstreaker.

    I'm also waaaay more into Decepticons. I never got Siege Sideswipe or Hound. Never really cared much for Autobots.

    Or you could go with the slamdance because I think rotorstorm deserves some personality, but you do you my friend

    Yeah, I did a double take when I saw the price had upped $10 the next time I popped on. Went to check my order and looks like I got it in before the price increase. Now if only I can get R.E.D. Megs and Soundwave off Walmart at some point. Optimus is still up.
