Presumably to go with the reissue: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11568&mode=retail&picture=out

Hopefully it includes the combiner parts, otherwise pointless.

Had to do some comparisons to really see how these are more G1 than the first run (and lament Seib's anti-3rd party police since his photos accurately showed what I needed). The colors are indeed more G1 while the original run was definitely made to match the colors of the RotF set, therefore making this the superior set.

Not that I'll be buying this set again.

Although I feel the need to restate the rumor that, according to the FP Core people at TFcon, some other 3rd party company may be making replacements for the other members of the Combaticons. So, you speculative buyers may have another reason to pick this up.

Actually, from what I can tell... these repaints look like they're more reminiscent of the original figures where the first release of these guys followed the cartoons color scheme.

In any case, I jumped onto the band wagon when these were first released so I'm set. They do look nice in these altered colors though, I gotta say.

Of course they'll come with the parts that allows them to combine. It's a sorta-reissue.

Swindle looks very orange. Not sold on drab Blast-Off either. But...at retail price vs ridonkulous after market prices for the originals...maybe.

Im a sucker for Combaticons. Just pre-ordered the Asia Exclusive when I saw these pics. When are the pre-orders going up for these ? I will gladly have Both Bruticus and a set of combaticons in robot mode to display. Plus an extra set of parts to make the TFCC Nexus Maximus along with Flamblast and Warcry.

Yep, I just grabbed an extra TFCC Landquake, already have an extra TFCC Heatwave and TFCC Topspin and also grabbed an Energon Kickback.

My plans for this one are to have 2 tanks for legs (Kickback and Landquake), Heatwave as the torso (obviously) and 2 choppers for arms. I'm looking to snag an Energon Stormcloud to be the second arm and plan to buy 2 FP Explorers once I've confirmed that the arm piece for the helicopter is ambidexterous. I won't actually use Munitioner or Explorer themselves for this combiner like I used Flameblast and Warcry for the last one, just the combiner bits they come with.

I haven't decided if I'll swap out Heatwave/Nexus Maximus' combiner head yet for FP's like I did with my original custom or not. Probably not as I want this one to be different.

I think they look bloody aweful. Munitioner has spent too much time on the sunbed and Explorer looks like a dead version of his former self.

I went all out. This is how it looks...
