Next Wave of Real Gear Announced!

I'm not really feeling these molds... I still want highscore lol even though he's small

Repaints of molds currently at retail. How very Hasbro of them.

Highline = Speed Dial

Hacker x-3 = Power Up VT6

Foton T-34= Spy Shot 6

Although, A Decepticon version of the Gamepad Highscore TF. might be interesting. Al in black, with silver grips.

There already is a black version of Highline.
Called Wire Tap V20

looks like Hacker is going to be a prime candidate for a Soundwave kitbash.

Can't they just call "Photon" what he really is...REFLECTOR! This is the same pet peeve that I had w/ "Booster X10/Laserbeak."

*hangs head in shame*

That...that's ridiculous. I'm sorry but they're carrying this way too far now. I understand why they're doing it, but this is just too much. Much too much.

If you buy one of each individual mold in this line, you'll see it's quite a bit smaller than ones of the past. I just...wow.

"Coming soon, TransFormers 2 toys!"

"But...they're all repaints from the first movie's toyline..."

"...you suck. Mr. Collector here wants new molds! WELL SCREW YOU!"

...and that's about how it feels.

a decepticon spyshot makes me happy

That feeling disapates slightly when it has not been named reflector

I'm ok with them doing repaints representing the opposite faction.

I personally would like to see an autobot version of Zoom Out.

Oh...lol. That's what I get for shunning them.

i was expecting new molds .

So a third repaint for speed dial...
Liking the Hacker and Foton repaints.

It's amazing that of all the movie related lines, only the Real Gear line has repaints that are of a decent quality, they looks different, or better than the originals.

Now where is my Meantime repaint dammit???

I thought they'd have made a Buzzsaw figure.

Ooo wow more repaints

Me too. This is a major disappointment for me. I never liked these figures in the first place, I don't know many people who actually have them. Why are they reusing the same molds & repainting them two to three times per mold? Yes it makes money, but hell it's pointless! Besides, who actually buys three of the SAME figure? I can understand for things like Starscream/G1SS/Thundercracker as they are complex figures, besides the original seekers were recolours anyway, but for a Scout class! Peh...

Ohh, Hacker looks really cool - so does the Decepticon camera, that gold is very cool.

Not quite feeling the cell phone though, Wiretap had the best colours for that mold, you can't improve on those.

I have no words for this.

Well, except maybe "TERRIBLE".

i want highline

Some new molds would have been nice. Oh well, more money saved...

Looking forward to these. The new colours are making them look pretty spiffy, especially the cellphone mold.

Yeah, but you have to realize that these may be the most awesome scout class line ever.

I just started buying them not to long ago, only have High Score and Power Up, but I must say I really like them and plan on buying more.

So there's tons of them out there already, just buy one of those. Enamils are usualy 1 isle over.

Make your own if you don't like the color, that way Hasbro can just focus on new bots!

If you realy like them(and I can realy see why, they do rock) put them to bed for a few years, then do a rehash.

Give us time to miss them, before you gag us with them.

AMEN

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

leave well enough alone

no new molds at all?

Oh same mold but new paint...
In my opinion that camera's new colour is cooler than the first version.

Hey aren't they just repaint of the real gear that is already out there.

shortround wrote:Hey aren't they just repaint of the real gear that is already out there.

Yep. The cell phone's already been made twice, Autobot and Decepticon and now another Autobot.

The camera was already released once as an Autobot and now Decepticon.

It's really pathetic.

I want a new Reflector! Lets see a polaroid Real Gear

I will proably just buy photon.

WOW...a THIRD cellphone repaint?!

Why not at least do a repaint of the Game controller one that looks like a gorilla (High Score I think?)

My son really likes the real gear line, but I'll be damned if I'm sinking any dough into these poor excuse for "new" figures.

Too many repaints, can Hasbro please give us some new molds.

Ugh... how many repaints can there be of the Movie line? Does it ever stop?

Ahh... the enevitable wave of repaints. Annoyingly most of them are nicer colours than the origanals, but I dont think I'll bother with em.

Stormrider wrote:Ugh... how many repaints can there be of the Movie line? Does it ever stop?

Nope. You should know Hasbro by now. They've been doing it since 1984...

Enough with the repaints. Give us some new designs already!

mosh magnus wrote:I want a new Reflector! Lets see a polaroid Real Gear

I'm just hoping they do a 3rd repaint of the camera (maybe in reflector's colors). That'll be a good enough "Classics Reflector" for me.

You know, with the supply problems the movie line has had, you'd almost think they'd ditch it in favor of a new line at least partly filled with worth while molds. I do like the cell phone though, but it's not as cool as the Decepticon repaint of the phone.

I'd be happier if they'd at least make a *mild* effort at a new mold... hell, just give 'em a different head! This whole "evil twin" thing is really getting out of hand! =/

I wouldn't have as much of an issue with these if I had been able to find the second wave in stores. Nope, no sign of wave 2 around here and here's wave 3 looking down the barrel already.

Are these part of the Allspark Power line or just more movie figures?

alh77 wrote:Are these part of the Allspark Power line or just more movie figures?

The Real Gear figures are technically not part of the movie line (I know, go figure ) but I think we should see these three come out at a similar time to Wave 1 off the Allspark Power figures in early 2008.

Another set of useless repaints by a useless toy company. Looks like Hasbro will have to wait a year to see some more of my money.

I"m liking these recolors, more so than the original figures for the most part. I'll likely pick up at least the video game figures from Real Gear- my other inner nerd won't allow otherwise D:

Also I'm waiting for those bird-looking things to be repainted in Laserbeak colors. Would be cool for the soundwave kitbash I have in the works.

Maybe you should all just not buy the repaints if you hate them so much?

I really don't understand this loathing of repaints. I love the opportunity to pick up a mold I missed out on before. And clearly, there must be people who buy repaints, so why the bitching? Or does someone from Hasbro force you to buy them at gunpoint?

I think it's the disappointment of not getting any new molds. I can imagine completists having a ball with that, they're like buying the same basic toy multiple times.

But isn't it completists that make repaints inevitable? If people didn't buy the things, Hasbro would stop doing them.

Hacker X3 is the best.
