- Pure Energon O.P. (upcoming release, or Shining O.P.?)

Yeah, Shining O.P., which BBTS has a bunch of.

How much do you wanna bet it was because of Arms Master Optimus?

Aw. That mantis is kinda awesome. I can't justify buying ANOTHER of that mold just for that mantis though. Maybe they'll issue it in green as a capsule micron. Crossing my fingers.

LOGICALLY, with Smokescreen's appearance in the show and Prowl's supposed appearance in the upcoming Jagex game, you would think they would create an entirely new mold just for them. But nope, this is Hasbro and Takara, where logic is tossed out of the window. Repaint from Knockout, WHO LOOKS NOTHING LIKE SMOKESCREEN!! What are the odds. Honestly the cyberverse figures are more accurate than what's in the main line, AND THEY'RE SMALLER!! (Ironhide, Megatron, Dreadwing, Smokescreen as prime examples.) And we're not even getting Breakdown over in other countries, let alone in the states. Heck, we don't even get his repaint of Swerve!! Instead we get Kup, but not Ironhide. (Wow, this turned into a rant). ANYWAY, I 'm just STRUGGLING to fathom how certain figures aren't even the right color/mold. (Black Breakdown does not equal dark blue Breakdown)

all repaints. booooooooo

Knock Out looks like crap but Smokcreen looks pretty good, sometimes all you need is a bit of paint and a slight remold to make a figure good. To bad the figure is small as hell, seen knock out in the store the other day and was appalled at how small it is, little over a year ago that would've been classified as a scout class figure. But that keychain & Arcee are awesome, why the hell cant hasbro do that stuff? No when ever they do something its either a figure thats mass produced elsewhere or so easy to get that theres really no point.

Yeah, the odd repaints and characters made me jump ship. Too many repaints, and too far off base from our established, beloved characters. If they stuck with some iconic, recognizable ones, I'd be more apt to keep buying them... and lining the shelves with repaints.

As is, I will keep buying a zillion of these repaints:
Seeker Jets
Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen
Junkions

Besides those, I'm going to think HARD about buying more than a couple of the mold.

Uh, Prowl & Smokescreen are two different models. While bearing some similarities in the shoulder pads and legs, I have doubts Smokescreen and Prowl would look good together as the same mold in this particular universe.





I wonder what TFP Bluestreak/Silverstreak would look like. A hybrid of Prowl and Smokescreen?

Wow, for once, TT got the repaints all messed up.

Silas Breakdown is supposed to be the same colors as normal Breakdown, but with the battle damage effects and the messed up head.

He's a Black, Red and White redeco.

Nemesis Prime is supposed to be muted tones of normal Prime: Purple and Black (like Shattered Glass O.P.).

He's a Black, Red and White redeco.


While I'm not too bothered by Breakdown (Dr. Wu will hopefully put out a better Silas head), it's a shame about Nemesis. Maybe Has will make an accurate deco (It's an easy repaint), or maybe he'll be an exclusive of some sort.

I really like Smokescreen's mini-con, otherwise I find it silly an official show character doesnt even get his own mold.

Actually, Nemesis Prime is more of a dull maroon and black rather than the purple and black that SG OP is.
