or if you have botcon 2010 Pyro you can just switch the heads. But a custom paint job can do just as fine.TFfan1 wrote:Springer looks good, Swerve is meh and does anyone else think Hot Spot could be repainted into Last Stand of the Wreckers Pyro?

I just wonder how Hasbro is planning on distributing these. I don't think Toys r us will want to take on more exclusives in addition to the 2 Masterpiece figures they will be offering this fall. Maybe they will offer the directly from Hasbrotoyshop?

I second this question. Is he just not seeing a release in North America, or was his figure canceled altogether, even in the asian market?

Exactly! Here's the ones in Hong Kong... No Chinese at all! Except for the back white sticker...

I really like wheelies head he's a maybe also i like Hotspots head while Megatron isn't too bad i just think nothing can look more off than overlords
It's a shame scout brawl never got a new head just looks like a boring repaint same with all the scoutS when it comes to new heads i do like the look of Laserbeak and Deadends colour scheme.

And has anybody noticed Springer's shoulders are mistransformed?

Yeah the head sold me on definitely wanting him it looks great but i thought his main colour was going to be black myself .

Springer is a definite must-buy, although I was going to display him with my movie toys, but his face is a little too G1 for that. Oh well, the body still works. I might sell off Tomahawk after I get him.
Laserbeak is also a definite yes, since I was dumb and passed on the mold the first time.
LOL, I love Wheelie's derpy little face. He's kind of cute. I almost want to get him, but he's SO TALL. If only there was a way to make him shorter.
The rest look pretty nice with the new heads and whatnot, but I think I can pass. Cool use of the Bludgeon mold for G2 Megatron though.

Am I the only one who feels Dead End should have been called Wildrider. That's what I'll be calling him when I get him.

But hopefully they'll repaint him into Gears instead. He's the only Season 1 character that hasn't gotten any updates since G1 :\

Not a bad idea, but I'd say that one's head is wrong for the opposite reasons that Defender's is wrong. Defender's head is too blocky, while this one is too smooth and curved. In my opinion of course.
Personally I'm finding none of these essential. Truth be told I don't care about any of them. I'm just pissed that these will more than likely be part of the forty Generations figures we were told we'd be getting.

Part? I'd say these are the majority. take the various flavours of the Bruticus bots and the Legends, Scouts, Deluxes and Voyagers and we're at 40, if not past it.

For those wondering about the Voyager Brawn figure, I have a feeling Hasbro doesn't want to release this figure AND the First Edition Bulkhead at the same time (aren't they both going to be TRU exclusives in the same month?).
I'm getting a serious Ironhide vibe off of that Swerve head.

That and they'd also be jostling for space with the PRID version. Good point sir.

Feel kinda dumb for importing Motorbreath now, but whatever.
That redeco of Breacher makes me want to track down Botcon Octopunch.
G2 Megatron needs some purple camo!

Thanks for posting the videos. The paint apps on the classic figures looks great but it seems strange having Wheelie and Swerve so large.

I wonder if it's possible to make Hotspot into a torso so FP can create some limbs ?

Other Mini-Bots have had size upgrades, most notably Powerglide and Seaspray, so it doesn't bother as much. Gen. Wheelie is actually perfect for a possible fully mature form, and as such, inclusion in an Expanded Universe shelf.
