    This means I can have Airazor displayed in bot mode, and still have another version displayed in alt mode.

    And Sideswipe looks awesome!

    Hopefully we get an earth mode Hound next year. It's fine that they did Sideswipe and Mirage, but their vehicles were close enough for me personally. Hound is the one who needs it!

    Ebay:
    Same cars with different trim, not two totally different but vaguely-similarly-shaped cars. And the holes the spoilers attach to aren't the same shape so they'd need to make new parts, but they're still there and roughly the same spot (right above the rear wheels) so it seems like it should still be possible (but of course we won't know for sure until people have it in hand).
    I can see that, I feel like a big part of it is just that there's so much red. Adding a bit of black paint for the vents and intakes on the sides and back should help break it up and make him feel less long.

    They finally gave us Earthswipe, and they even color corrected his shoulder launcher? Tasty. Will be prordering this guy as soon as he goes live.
    Looks like they messed up the port for the spoiler though, old set wont work.

    Okay seriously what the hell is with half the damn figs being exclusives? Just release sideswipe at retail, not as a damn ebay/scalperbait exclusive. Though i guess i shouldnt be surprised given that streaker never showed up at regular retail stores.

    No. Sure, in source material that's the beast mode's head chilling on top of his helmet...but now that his beast mode is on his chest it's just piece of molded detail on his bot mode.

    That's likely a mistake on Amazon's part. The Pulse listing is still $47.

    They did. During Siege. It's not HasTak's fault there's a million G1 guys and every fan you talk to has a different idea of who's "iconic" enough to be at retail.

    This Skywarp re-deco makes me yearn for Silverbolt/Magnaboss. Tempted to budget out for this one, even if I'm not really a fan of Sideswipe.

    I thought I was gonna buy this... until I realized the Nonnef spoilers won't fit on this version of the mold :(

    As someone who doesnt use amazon, I am really tempted, just because of Skywarp/Silverbolt. If anyone doesn't want him, shoot me a PM.

    A Lamborghini Countach with no Spoiler is disgraceful. Im not saying it didnt exist in the 1980s with no spoiler, because I have seen it. But its such an iconic car with the spoiler.

    Glad that people who want an earth mode are getting one, but like a lot of the Siege guys, I don't see an improvement.
