I've loved Terradive ever since I saw the first pics. Not only is the name from the first realistic jet that was a bomber instead of a fighter (or was Skyquake modeled after a real plane?) and G2 Sky Scorcher, but I always thought that if he were repainted white and mint green, he'd make a perfect Second Generation Cybertronian. I'm probably the only Transfan who's actively trying to troop-build for that particular toyless faction, so when last years Botcon G2 set didn't even include any of those guys, I knew there was no chance in Hell.

And yet, with the unveiling of his first repaint, what do I see? Why this blue is just a shade off from the green I wanted (or at least a LOT closer than the original orange), and while not an underling of the Liege Maximo, HE'S STILL A G2-ER!!! Man, I had no idea Space Case was this popular; we got him again in universe, and those Cyberjet KOs just won't go away. Could it be that Terradive's orange made him look enough like Hooligan that they decided to make a similar Space Case so they could both go with Skyfall/-jack?

Man, I haven't been this excited about a Wally World exclusive since...the purple Seacons. Crap, he's gonna' get cancelled, isn't he? Or only turn up in Canadian Walmarts next to Windcharger. Sigh.

OptiMagnus10 must be on crack.

Space Case looks awesome! Everything else shown here is "meh".

Space Case is the only one I want on that list...Come to papa!!

Well, I already know what I'm getting:

- Deluxe Optimus Prime
- Space Case
- Legends 2-pack with bonus Legends (so in actuality, it's a 3-pack)
- Nascar Sideswipe

That is it, nothing more. The high amount of exclusives must mean Hasbro has high expectations for the movie.

Spacecase and the legends 3 pack are the only ones im interested in, the terradive mold is awesome and how could i pass up a pack with soundwave & hotrod. The rest i could care less about. If jazz were the battle damaged version or had his other gun id get it but since its just the normal version its a pass even though i like the mold i have 3 already.

Meh... Who needs ANOTHER Bumblebee, Starscream, Ratchet, or supposed to be dead Jazz? So far, the new movie line-up looks horrible, with exception to Leader Class Sentinel Prime and possibly a Leader Class Megatron. It looks like his bot mode will finally NOT have t-rex arms, lmao. Other than those two, it looks like 3rd party toy makers will be getting my money this year, despite how overpriced those are.

Oooooh, I like that Terradive repaint. Space Case? Hahaha, that's great! It sounds like a GoBot.


That mold kicks ass. I'd love to see a set of "neo" Seekers made (with a different head, though).

He does, but he's still a Transformers original character, debuting in Generation 2 as a first-series Cyberjet:

G2 Space Case at TFU.info.

Space Case is probably the best use for this mold sine Hardhead from Universe Onslaught.

This is win.

Funny story, I had a Space Case as a kind who broke in the back joint. Still transformed perfectly fine, so I kept him around. He was just the unforetunate victim of several severings in combat.

Anyone else notice that the Jazz repaint is basically Ricochet/Stepper?

I will admit that I have an unusual love for this mold and would buy it regardless, but the potential for such re-purposing makes it a full-on WIN for me.

Sideswipe, Arcee, and Space Case will also be mine.

Must get Space case! I love the mold and the repaint is looking pretty sweet right now. The others look like crap.

That wouldn't be the first time that's been said to me. (I'm NOT on crack. I swear.)

I just didn't like that Terradrive mold to begin with. It doesn't do anything for me. I waited for it to get into stores, but when I saw him up close, I lost all interest. It's a very bland figure for me.

Maybe YOU are on something instead... I always believe I'm the normal one when in the minority.

Sooooooooooo..Fansproject it is then this year.......Did I read that right, A redeco of 2007 movie jazz? What is Hasblow on?

Im getting Space Case and saving the rest of my money for 3rd party companies and knock-offs.

Space Case and Sideswipe for me.

I may spring for the Legends 3-pack, as I like the legends Soundwave quite a bit.

Space Case and "Ricochet" look great. I'll definitely get the Legends three packs. My stomach turns at *more* BumbleBees, but I'll get them just to make Delicon uncomfortable with my collection.

I'll be picking up that 3 pack for Rodimus, I passed on him back in the day and would like him now. Hopefully for everyone else the rest of the Universe legends (Wheelie, Warpath, Cosmos, etc.) will get a similar re-release, they were tough to find.

I can almost see Hasbro just throwing out any and everything they can with DotM, since it is supposed to be the last movie for a while.

Looks like I may have to pick up the "WRX RALLY Blue/Yellow" Sideswipe. I flat REFUSE to call that a NASCAR Deco as I firmly believe that it is a blatant insult to the Corvette line. Besides which, just look at Alternator Smokescreen and you'll see what I mean about the paint scheme. I have yet to see any NASCAR vehicle sport a paint job similar to that.

Other than that, Deluxe Optimus, although undersized compared to the previous deluxe movie figures will probably end up on my list and the rest of you can have at all the other exclusives. To me the remainder is just uninspired crap like 90+% of the DotM line. I can't even see why everyone is going nuts over Space Case. It has about as much character as some of the Armada toys but hey, whatever makes folks happy. Someone can snatch up the one I'll be passing over.

Not sure if I like Space Case or not. I didn't get Terradive, so I may get him, but I'll have to see better pictures. I had been really hoping for a Jetstorm repaint or remold of Terradive. The only other figure I'm at all interested in is Sideswipe. I kind of like the colors, and I didn't get the original figure, since I don't like the red flames.
