    Are these the exact same pics we saw back in January? Doesn't matter I guess, since the fact that Hasbro just sent them out means that we should expect to see the toys officially released at some point in the near future.

    I am afraid that after I buy Thundercracker, I will develop the urge to buy Sunstorm to complete the animated seekers set.

    I don't understand why they keep releasing repaints, instead of the new molds. feels like a really weird decision.

    End of the line. This is pretty normal.

    I know there aren't any official "store name" labels on the front of the packages (in those pics anyway), but still I can't help but shudder at the thought of the dreaded words:

    *T O Y S R U S * E X C L U S I V E*


    Ugh.

    Great news. Can't wait to get my hands on TC. I hope Blackout won't be far behind.

    A smidge disappointing that the repaints tend to get shoved out the door quicker than the remaining new and re- molds, but I'll take what I can get, as long as Blackout, Wingblade, Rodimus, and Hydrodive BB are forthcoming (and I don't have to always settle for the metallic paint job if I don't want to. ) :)

    I can see it now, a bunch of Mudbuster Bulkheads and Cybertron Ratchets sitting on the pegs at TRU all summer with dissapointed trans-fans searching for Thundercracker and Arcee.

    Old stock has to get flushed out somehow.

    For me it's the exact opposite. TRU exclusive means 2:1 I'll see it. Wal-Mart/Target is 60/40 I don't.

    Superb news! Color me completely stoked for Thundercracker, despite having a rule against repaints as well as despite already owning Skywarp and Sunstorm!

    So...

    Freeway Jazz & Soundblaster were released late '09, Arcee & Cyb Ratchet a few months later, These 2 will be next and most probably Blackout & another voyager a few months after that? At this rate it'll be nearly christmas before the remaining ones find their way onto the shelves... :/

    Good news. However, the ones I'm really antsy to get are Rodimus, Ironhide, Wingblade Prime, and Blackout.

    Can't wait to get Thundercracker, but please give us Hot Rod already. Hopefully we'll get some news at BotCon.

    I hope I don't miss TC...other than Rodimus, he's the last animated figure I want.

    I am excited for this. I would love to have the original seeker trio in animated style. Other than that I am looking forward to Rodimus, and Blackout.

    Well, aside from Thundercracker not having the orangey pinstripe, I love what I see! I'm getting confused though on what order this stuff comes out....that is, we've seen reviews of Blackout, but none of these yet...so is Blackout first, and if so, who's he packed with? Anyone else think these 2 aren't in the same wave? Hrmph, either way it goes, when I see them they will be mine, oh yes, they will be mine!

    not sure because pics have been shown in hand a looooooong time ago.

    I own TC and have so months before Blackout. I have had TC for 8 months no joke, so whatever the delay is no idea.
