I'll most likely get Busta, but I've got Ultra Class Powerglide so don't need Red Baron.

Be nice if iGear would just release their existing teases before spending to much time teasing these.

That Powerglide kinda sucks with his fat plane mode. But Im digging Wheelie. I really hope they make them scout size like Brawn, Cosmos and the other new ones. No more happy meal size like they did with Huffer and Seaspray.

I'm glad "Red Baron" became the final name. Also, "Busta" like Rhymes? Fitting for Wheelie. I'm more thrilled about Busta being released, but it'll be nice to replace the X-Transbots Powerglide. Also the original teaser picture only had 8 figures showing, so it looks like these two complete their set of molds:

1307381304_mini warriors.jpg


However, we know we're getting a repaints/slight remolds to create other mini-bots (see Hench/Bushwacker or Cogs/Veer). I wonder how much more can be pumped out of these. G2 Spray is the only one that I don't see myself picking up.

BTW, I'm still waiting for MakeToys to announce release dates for the rest of their mini-botsu lineup. :BANG_HEAD:

hmmm.... they look good, but I think I will need to see actual molds first before deciding?

I'm holding out hope for a Windcharger, I think he is the last one I would be interested in.

Hrmmmmm???

Not terribly impressed with these two.

I don't mind the Powerglide, but I already have XTransbots version, and I like him better. At least from this promo pic.

That Wheelie doesn't really do it for me, but he may be the only game in town in this size.

I'll be awaiting more info on these before making a decision.

Neither one of these is doing much for me. Powerglide looks too chunky as a few others have pointed out and there's just something off about Wheelie to me. I need to see more of Wheelie.

Wow. I think we've got our first two no hitters from the Mini Warrior line. Spray is a good figure, but I prefer the HFTD figure. Rager is also good, only a little too small. The rest are looking awesome. These two look like crap in my opinion. Will be holding off judgement until we see the final figures, but I was expecting better.

Only Wheelie would work well amongst the current Neo-G1/Classics line-up in my opinion, only because he fits being a very small, shoulder sitting lil' fella, where as the the rest of iGears recent announcements look pretty rough! :-?

I was thinking their core designers had jumped ship, but lets face it, they really only did a couple of basic, so-so releases then KOed Hasbros IP for quite a while!
Its only recently they became vaguely interesting but now seem to have lost the plot, big time? :???:

How many more very late releases of another small repaint will we have to endure before, if ever, iGear make a mark in 2012/13? I-)

The only problem with Wheelie is that he has huge shoulders thanks to those stupid giant rear wheels. What was the point of that anyways ? Werent all four wheels the same size in G1 ? They should re-mold the arms with smaller wheels for a better look. Maybe if we talk enough crap on the boards, they might change it since these are just renders. Probally not, but you never know...

I don't like the oversized shoulders on Wheelie either.

The shoulders are bad, but the head is abysmal.

On the plus side, I can live with the shoulders, and heads can be replaced, perhaps with GDO Wheelie's.

Thinking about it, I have a couple spare Classics Bee noggins around which could fix the announced iGear version of Bee as well ... :-?

Shouldn't have to do that though.

Uhhh, yeah whatever. Jizai got the neo-anime look right. I checked the G1 toy online today. While the rear wheels are larger than the front, they aren't extremely large like I-gear made them. I stand by my statement that the huge shoulders are pointless. If you like em more power to you but I think they look dumb. Other than that I like the figure.

Yea, the Jizai/Superalloy Wheelie nailed it.
I was kind of hoping for a variation on that design.

Unfortunately Superalloy is just a bit too large for my tastes, and the Jizai is impossible to find, and several hundred dollars when it is.

Not a sheeple.

Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Busta will be mine, that much is sure. I'm using the little Bayformers Powerglide at the moment so Red Baron shouldn't be too hard of a sell especially if they sell them as a set. The name kinda bugs the history buff in me since it's not a biplane but it's not like I won't just be calling him Powerglide anyway.

That Wheelie is so getting a Sharkticon tooth neckless!

Does anyone else like Universe legends Wheelie? I haven't been tempted to get any other version despite the lack of articulation etc. I don't mind Wheelie being really tiny thanks to his depiction in the movie. This iGear disaster certainly won't change my mind, being the worst version I have seen so far. Bumblebee is equally repugnant.

I like Legends Wheelie, and he is the wheelie on my shelf at the moment.
But I DO mind the size discrepancy.

I think Jizai Wheelie nailed the look, size and transform perfectly, and really wish HasTak had licensed the design back when they used to actually make Scout class figs.

I know what you are saying about his description being small, but for me, legends is too small to really work.

Not sure this one will fit the bill for me either though.
