Unwavering in my decision to have not ordered this set.

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

One of my favorite molds from the Cybertron line. Great paint scheme. Wish they didn't do Dropshot and Overload on this mold earlier though.

I have to figure Thunderclash as a classics prime repaint.

Pink windows, white and gold body etc etc.

The new head is great, the paint job is awesome. It's the dinosaur feet of this mold that I hate.

Just like the rest of the set, it's nice, just not more-than-shelf-price nice.

The best use of that mold yet, bot mode looks real sharp.

Now THERE is a repaint/retool of Cybertron CD Scattorshot that I would actually buy! =P~
Makes me long for the good old days (2000-2004) when pre-registration was a mere $40 ($20 bucks more got ya a shirt, too!) as opposed to $300+, the convention wasn't always in BFE in relation to Michigan, and the exclusives were actually affordable.
Ah, memories....

I think it's unanimous. After BotCon is over we are all going to get together, storm the mfg plant and break the mold. And after we're done there we are going to beat the hell out of the mold-maker just for good measure. :P

It looks great, however too many of this mould have been used in the last year. I do really like that they took an extra step and remoulded the head. It's easily the best look of all the versions of Scattorshot, I'd say even better then the original.

However the overkill of the mould makes me want this set LESS.
