    And now I'd like to again hear from all those people who were convinced when this was announced that it wasn't going to be this mold.

    I love this thing, though. Bought on sight.

    I daresay that looks better than the Botcon OR Henkei version.

    Bought. (And I already have the Botcon version.)

    Now I need to know if they'll release Generations Skywarp. In that case I'll order both. But if not, I'm fine with having Starscream. Because having 2 Seekers is just an odd number.

    I'd have prefered a bit more paint on his legs and a different colour on his neck cross bar but other than that he looks good.

    Bought on sight (well pre-order). Still like the KO version better with the silver guns and thrusts.

    I think hasbro will wait and see if this mold sells well and if it does (its sold out on a few sites already) ramjet, skywarp and starscream will surely be released again. (Though i have all mine and i only started collecting when ROFT came out :) )

    As one those who have waited four years for this figure....I'm grinning like an idiot right now. So happy I never gave up hope. And if they are truly going to retire this mold after TC, it is one helluva way to go. :)

    Pics of Wheeljack soon. Hopefully.

    Since Hasbro haven't actually released a G1-ish deco of Classics Skywarp yet... it may happen yet.

    Starscream... well name recognition, so they may think of something, but a straight re-release of the 2008 deco seems a bit less likely.

    I'm in two minds about this one - 'Cracker was my only seeker as a kid, but do I really need 2 of the same mold (3 if you count Thrust) especially when there are so many other great toys coming down the pipeline...

    I'll have to Ebay more stuff to afford him :)

    Looks good, better than Botcon. Henkei probably has overall nicer paint, but the QC issues on that rubbish means this one is the WINNER.

    As for Skywarp, I think we'll see him in "G1 deco", just like Starscream was reissued in 2008 as cartoon accurate. I love the fact we're already having people say things like "oh, Ramjet and Skywarp will never be re-released."

    Um... didn't you say that about T-Cracker too??? :)
