What's the price set/release date for the WFC 3-pack? I guess I'm gonna have to go out and hunt for Soundwave now if I'm gonna go for this... ;) :lol:

WFC 3-pack - even more Tron-tastic than before!

I would consider getting it if it contained Soundwave rather than Megatron. Of all the retail exclusives so far, Space Case is the only one for me, and he's a must.

If it had Soundwave included with it, I would still get it. I really want these guys, but never got the time/money to get them. :-(

OK, sorry for my laziness but I don't want to read through all the pages here. I know Rodimus is the talk of the town but Unicron is what I'm interested in. Any info on a price point and release date for Unicron?

Hasbro's version of Roddy isn't bad what with the extra paint apps (especially on the legs) and the targetmaster, but I'm not so willing to get a second one.

I am so glad I never splurged on the Takara 2010 Unicron.

Nice transparent cannon on Megatron and nice glyphs, but pass.

Hey! I'm lazy too. Only reason I didn't read through everything is cause it seems like no one is at each others throats yet and I forget if I replied to this.

To me Unicron is better than the Takara version. The paint job just feels more G1 than the other.

MP Rodimus will be bought by me.

SDCC Ultimate Prime is a must have for me. Mostly cause I don't have the patience to wait until October to get it at mass retail.

WFC 3 pack, I'll probably get it, but only because I love the WFC molds and have some strange desire to buy lots of plastic crack as of late.

i don't have any of these molds and since i acually like to repaint or atleast add detail to my figures i think this 3 pack will be great for me.

I have a feeling he'll be called Sky Shadow. Why? Well:
Image
He's got Universe Sky Shadow's alt...

...and BW Sky Shadow's colors.

Not interested in the 3-pack at all cause I already have all that 3 and the repaints are meh compare to the original. The alt mode glyphs on optimus looks terrible,the yellow neon on Optimus is weird,I dont like the clear purple used on Megs cannon and why the f**k they change Bumblebee's blades to light blue!?So even if I dont have the original 3 I would think twice before I buy this set...
