    Maybe, but I rather like the idea of getting another use from the mold at all, especially if it ends up being a tan coloured one. If it's a shitty orange or something, then it'll suck, but at least one of my troll predictions will have come true.

    i'm not really a fan of any of the asia exclusives.. so that's not a big deal.

    but i absolutely LOVE the ironhide mold. i hope he shows up and does well in the show. .

    same goes for rumble. he looks pretty awesome. i'm hoping they're both pretty show accurate.

    Deluxe Prime Kup/Rumble - not bad, although it seems Hasbro favors the RIBFIR argument now. I'll probably pick them up given the chance.

    Legends repaints - meh. Already own the molds, not interested.

    Scout repaints - Sandstorm is reasonable, but the other two are HORRIBLE. Brawl from Breacher? I can get a better Brawl by simply covering the Autobot symbol on my PCC Heavytread with a con symbol. And Laserbeak from Skystalker? At least the DOTM toy was a bird...

    Deluxes - meh all around. Springer from Tomahawk is pretty generic and boring (especially since that totally should be a Rotorstorm), not interested in Swerve at all, already snagged a FE Cliffy, but Jazz-Wheelie might be worth getting for the sheer WTF factor. That, and an orange version of the mold would appeal to my interests.

    Voyagers - Hot Spot from Pyro is nice, and it's good to see the Highbrow mold get some use considering it was so damn rare (although being asian exclusives kills the appeal for me). Not interested in a FE Brawn repaint of Bulkhead, I want the original.

    But worst of all...G2 Megatron from freaking Bludgeon? I get the reason why (tank mode, same reason Overlord got the mold), but that mold is just far too Bludgeon for anybody not previously some kind of Samurai robot to use it to the best of its capacity. Plus, it lacks the signature shoulder cannon.

    WfC Starscream - damn, they're actually making one? I'll need to snag him just to see how the hell he transforms.

    Fixed that for you.

    United was VERY specific on the back of the package that the RED one was Rumble, and BLUE one was Frenzy. So G1 Rumble is still red (except in the US Cartoon).


    Fixed that for you, too. :D

    Could you imagine the RAGE in the US if the RTS Prime RID Scourge repaint was an Asia Exclusive?

    All looks nice but there is no way that I can afford to get the all. So far just Thundercracker. I need to see better color pics.

    Altho I find myself at the very least curious about the re-decos of Ironhide and Megatron, I find myself hoping that these... choices... don't wash up over here.

    Unless I find myself financially challenged. Then bring them all over.

    Some very, very strange choices here... Not entirely bad, but might be a little too out there for my liking. But more than likely, Hot Spot and Swerve will be top of the buy list, both great molds in their own right. Not too sure about Wheelie, I don't see the Jazz figure suiting the character. Any of the Prime and Movieverse reuses I will more than likely pass, though want to see what exactly this new Cliffjumper will look like.

    But oh, OH! I am loving that Starscream! Can;t wait to start seeing some colour images, but I know I will buy that on sight!

    wow, i totally forgot about that, i completely agree EVERYONE wants RID scourge. that figure would be so unbelievably incredible.

    they better get their heads out of their asses and give on to us.. i mean.. a generations jazz as wheelie instead of an RID scourge.. REALLY?!

    i think it's good that they're all repaints since they're not getting a wide release.

    This is killing me, man. I want all of those Classics! I was in a slump and missed out on a lot of molds, and now that there are some cool repaints they're only in Asia!
