Y'know those two molds are basicly the only two Cybertron molds I want but can't find.

So I really hope these repaints are bad ass.

I've been looking for Wing Sabre for a while and the secondary market prices are driving me nuts! Hopefully I can get my hands on one at TRU before the scalpers get them all...

No kidding! WS is quite expensive these days!

I love Cyb. Jetfire. This color scheme is much more sinister than the original. However, the sky shadow colors are probably better.

The Wingblade, very cool. I wish they would've done a red powerglide or fireflight instead. This way we could have an entirely red sonic wing mode for Cyb. Prime.

pleasee, someone stop hasbro from doing ANOTHER repaints. the movie line is great, but the number of repaints make me sick.
just bring stockade & incinerator then put a stop with movie line. so we can continue our live w/ classic 2.0 please. Or bring the animated line to the store sooner so there are NEW TF MOLDS on the shelves.

enough w/ movie repaints.

the alt mode colors are really bland, but the picture of the jetfire repaint has some color, so lets hope their bot modes are a little more exciting

Yes. Very much yes. The originals of these guys are far beyond my budget...

Now, add in a nice Skywarp somewhere and I'll be even happier.

Very nice! I'm glad that Hasbro repainted the Wing Saber mold, such an awesome toy. I'm glad to see so many good Cybertron molds get the repaint treatment.
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

These look cool. But I'm done with the Movie line for now. I'm saving everything for Animated. But this is kind of a steal, because wasn't Jetfire an Ultra?

First, let me say that it is a very smart business move by Hasbro to "reissue" popular molds from previous lines. This has been covered in every thread that talks about a new repaint, but these repaints serve at least three purposes:

1. Fills a gap created by the delay in getting the "Animated" figures to market. They can put whatever spin they want on it, but there is no way that they wanted such a gap between the launch of their new show and the arrival of the toys for the kiddies to buy. Something needs to be on the shelves for them to buy. The quickest way to get something to market would be to make more of something you've already got - hence the repaints.

2. A lot of folks have returned to collecting TFs with the Classics and movie lines (I'm one of them). While I was able to get some cool CYB figures that were still out when Classics hit the shelves, there were many that I missed out on. This gives folks like me a chance to get molds that are often praised (Landmine comes to mind).

3. Any of these figures that sell will have a larger profit margin than any new molds. This is because you eliminate the big expenses - R&D, testing, quality control. The more money Hasbro makes, the more willing they are going to be to pump those funds into more new stuff down the line. How is that a bad thing???

So, bring on the repaints! As has been said before, if you don't like 'em, don't buy 'em.

I may be being a party pooper but doesn't the choice of such a bland color scheme make anyone suspicious that this rumor may be based on photoshopped pics? Hasbro does not usually do repaints in such a bland manner. I will admit the bland color scheme is certainly more realistic but it's not Hasbro's usual MO when it comes to repaints. :-?

This is actually cool news for me, since I never did pick up a Cybertron Jetfire even though I kind of wanted to.

Actually Hasbro has done so in past. Besides, how would you explain the mug shots then? For something to be photoshopped something has to be used as an example, and I don't recall seeing head shots like those anywhere.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

Wing Saber, around $50/$60. Jetfire/Skyshadow can still be gotten for close to retail. I paid about $35 for my Jetfire, shipped!

Ultra class is a $30 price point, right?

$26, but close enough.

Funny that price about Wing Saber. He's totally not worth it.
