Mindset YEAH...too bad he won't...really..be Mindset...
It's funny, I have an idea for something I think no-one does and immediately it happens...

Wreck-gar sounds cool though.

Mon Sep 20, 2010 10:12 pm

Well, hell yeah.

Wreck-Gar sounds interesting, why do I get the feeling that Prime and Bumblebee will just be re-releases of existing toys

Tue Sep 21, 2010 12:59 am

Wreck-Gar definitely has me excited for what Hasbro still has coming in Generations. And if Prime and BB are more of a Classics/Universe style that will only make things even better. Though I wish they had a Voyager Prime waiting in the wings...

Prime and BB were already done in Classics, hence my concern they could be just rereleases. Similarly they did a Voyager Prime as part of Classics

Im pumped about Wreck-gar, but Prime and Bee i forseeing them as a repaints and i wonder if Fallback and Mindset will get new head molds and different colors? Actually i want Hailstorm repainted into Beastbox with a different head and G1 colors, but looks like that wont happen. Oh well, im still excited!!! YAY!!!

OH Yeah.....HEY HASBRO!.....mumble mumble THUNDERCRACKER PLEASE!!!....mumble mumble...

I'm very happy to see a new Wreck-Gar figure and a seemingly G1 derived design at that! I hope the alt mode is good, it's not always a sure thing that we get good cyclebot toys.

I like the Special Ops Jazz naming as that seems to be a reference to the IDW version of the character's role in the Autobot ranks.

Wreck-Gar will be a great addition to the line but is it just another repaint like Blurr where the figure looks nothing like the character except for paint scheme or will this be a kick ass mold that will rival Fansprojects?

I hope the other figures on that computer get released before Spring 2011 because that is going to be way too late. Get them out by Christmas time please Hasbro!!

Has everyone seen the image of Tracks alt mode in the other thread on this forum? It looks bad ass

I second that!
Only I'll be saying "COUGH, COUGH......THUNDERCRACKER....COUGH.....IN G1 BLUE....COUGH....COUGH....NOT BORING DARK METALLIC BLUE LIKE TAKARA TOMY'S.........COUGH."

I'll buy Hasbro's and sell TT's if they paint him in the bright blue I remember from the movie/G1 series. I'd buy the Masterpiece too if he was in those colours. I was so disappointed when I got my TT one and he was such a boring colour. Skywarp was way better out of those 2.

News Credits: 3 · Tue Sep 21, 2010 7:50 am

It's gonna happen. They've released all the other seekers stateside including Acid Storm for Cripes sake.
Just hope that for once Hasbro's paint job is better than Takara Tomy's!

There is no emoticon to describe what I'm feeling!

Oh wait, yes there is: :-B

These sound really REALLY interesting! Do we have any idea what Perceptor's alt mode will be? Actual tiny microscope? Or that microscope/pick-up truck we saw drawings of a while back?

Is Turbo Track supposed to be Tracks? I want a straight-up US military repaint (sorry rest of Earth, I gotta be me) for Fallback- what a great name, Fallback, your go-to Autobot when it hits the fan.

EDIT- I'm a dope- clicked the link and answered my own questions.

On Kapow Toys Youtube review for Gen. Thrust, the reviewer did say that Thundercracker is supposed to be released eventually in the Gen. line. There's no reason not to since every other seeker has been released by Hasbro, & Thcrkr. is part of the original three. I'm hoping for a Sunstorm too at somepoint, but I won't hold my breath. Glad that BB's getting released, missed out on the Classics version & don't feel like paying 40+ bucks for him on-line.

Oh yes. This is good news. But I am concerned about the eventual Fansproject release. I guess whichever one looks cooler can be Wreckgar, and the other one can be Random Junkion #1. Problem solved!

Now I'm jonesing for pictures of all these upcoming releases.

Tue Sep 21, 2010 9:53 am

Awesome but here's hoping he is a motorcycle and in scale with the classics and not like they did with the ROTF toys.

Btw, i still don't lie the Perceptor fikgure he does not neked a siklklky truck mode, tank/microscope/robot that's what i want.

Well, for me a re-release wouldn't be a problem. I missed out on the entire Classics Line and a great deal of Universe. So a re-release of BB would be great for me, although I prefer the Voyager Prime to the Deluxe from the Two-Pack. I can see how a potential re-release would be troublesome to those who already have their Classics versions, though.

As am I. FP has sated in the past that they try to avoid stepping on Hasbro's toes, and producing something similar to a current Hasbro release. Hearing about this Wreck-Gar might lead to shelving the "Collector" figures indefinitely, or even canceling the project entirely (depending on how much R&D has already gone into those figs).

Of course, if they DO produce their figs, too, that means we would have that many MORE Junkions to work with (G1 WG, Detritus, Animated WG, 2011 WG, FP Collectors). I'm still hoping for a "Scrapyard Warriors" box set of movie-verse mercenaries, homaging the Junkions. Lockdown/Axor and Brimstone come to mind as good fits... maybe Brawn, too.

Tue Sep 21, 2010 10:54 am

Okay, I hate to deuce on everyone's parade, but has anyone considered that the Optimus & BB will simply be rereleases of thier WFC versions? It really seems unlikely to me that we'd be getting yet another mold of these two unless they are in fact based on the TF: Prime series.

More on topic, I'm very excited for the Wreck-Gar mold. I passed on the TFA version due to budget constraints, but 'd love to own a G1 deluxe version.

Tue Sep 21, 2010 11:48 am

OMG man....2011 will be a GREAT year for Classics collectors like me! lol! Man, Tracks, preceptor, Scourage, Grapple and JAZZ??? WOW....now all we need are More dinobots, WHEELJACK and BLITZWING! I am loving it.

News Credits: 11 · Tue Sep 21, 2010 12:54 pm

I'm guessing that the new Prime & Bee listings are rereleases in some form or another, but maybe I'm just hoping I don't have to buy another of each.

I do hope Fansproject still decides to go ahead with Collector. Hasbro's Wreckgar looks good, but Collector was quite impressive.

News Credits: 668 · Tue Sep 21, 2010 2:19 pm

Well, I've seen the Hasbro version of Wreck-Gar in the news posting that came through this afternoon.

I'm impressed. Very much so.

Part of me wants to wait and see what FansProject's Collector looks like, but after being reminded about the whole "we don't want to step on toes" thing, it makes me think this is the only Wreck-Gar we'll be getting.

Kinda sad if so, because I love FP's stuff, however...Hasbro's Wreck-Gar looks fantastic. I have no complaints, really.

I'll gladly buy Hasbro's.

So, we're getting Wreck-Gar, Kup, and Jazz. Hells yes.

Nope, seeing as Takara's Transformers United had two different listings for Bumblebee, Optimus and Megatron. Plus it would say Cybertronian in the beginning.
