I'm liking Scourge and OP too!

THIS THIS AND I LOVE IT SOOOOOO MUCH
yeah its a bummer that they don't look like they're gonna combine but its still gonna be pretty awesome to have two similar tanks roving around my shelves.
and also. weve gotta take into account how weird a tank would look if it were half red and half blue...
im excited
fibrir?
ribfir?
DONT CARE

Blurr, Kup, Tracks, Jazz, G2 Optimus, Perceptor, Lugnut, Scourge, Wreck Gar, Thunderwing, Grapple, Windcharger and Rumble & Frenzy are all coming out in the next 6-9 months on top of MP Rodimus and the Protector.
My wife is going to leave me over all this!

I'm also a little concerned we won't get an awesome RiD Scourge repaint out of that G2 Prime figure since the original nameholder is also in the line.

Superb!!
I also like the look of Frenzy actually, well his robot mode looks quite good anyway.
Scourge looks much better than the original pic we saw.
Now the only figure we haven't seen yet is Reflector......
Looking forward to seeing Wheeljack's paint mode, the car looks sweet!!

RID scourge is still my favorite TF after all these years. If they somehow managed to top him...

Oh come on, we all know the right thing to do here.
Pick the toys.

Plus his legs seem kinda small making him look top heavy. Maybe its just the photo angle.

Sure we will, he will just be called Nemesis Prime.

I sure hope they do. Only problem will be where to display my Alternity Black Convoy. But of course I still hope they do a Nemesis Prime.
This line is amazing. I haven't wanted so much of a line since...well, Classics & Universe.
I wasn't expecting such an extensive remold for Wheeljack, I'm pleasantly surprised. Rumble & Frenzy look cool, if a little large to go with any version of Soundwave. Scourge looks MUCH better than the original pics would have us believe. An easy buy. Now that means I have to track down the Botcon version eventually though...

At least they gave it a little change in the front of the car mode

Actually, some think Wheeljack is the original, with Tracks being the retool. They just switched release order.

Scourge looks like total junk. A real shame as it seems even after several tries it seems impossible for them to do a good quality Scourge figure.
Wheeljack I don't care for. Never liked the character much but I suppose it looks like a good figure to his fans.
Rumble/Frenzy again I'm not bothered about though I'm curious as to why that alt mode?
Posted by SJ21 on October 14th, 2010 @ 9:21am CDT
Rumble/Frenzy is looking good. I am not too concerned about the tank alt mode because they are going to be in bot mode on my shelf anyway. I like the look of them. (RIBFIR)
Wheeljack looks awesome. I had my doubts about him being a Tracks remold, but they did a great job with the body kit on the car and the new head. I can't wait to see the paint job.
Scourge is a departure from his G1 alt. mode, but it still looks good. His bot mode is fantastic. Does anyone else think his gun looks kind of funny? (like it might fold up or, dare i say, be a targetmaster?)
I dont collect G2 stuff, but I will be buying Prime. He looks like a nice update to the G2 figure.

Yep, it's designed to look like Fracas, Scourge's Targetmaster partner. It doesn't transform however.

It's too bad it doesn't, would've looked really cool alongside Cyclonus.

How many times... It was neither!
They were conceived at the same time!
Ok, well I don't know that for sure, but judging by a couple of recent interviews with Hasbro that I scanned over, that's the conclusion I came to.
Wheeljack is one of those characters that I've been wanting for a long time, he's right up there with Blurr, Kup, and Jazz, and I'm perfectly happy with how this turned out.

Kagamigod wrote:For me personally I love G1 as I grew up watching the cartoon and collected the toys. G2 was never used in the cartoon and came out when I stopped collecting so there is no nostalgia for me. His bot mode is cool, but alt mode is really dumb looking. Really disappointed so far with the Primes introduced in to this series other than WFC Prime.
Personally feel that WFC Prime has a much, much, much worse looking alt-mode.
I do feel that new G2 Prime could benefit from a trailer though.

I kind of figured that would be the case. Unfortunately. I guess i kind of had my hopes up.

Don't care for that Rumble at all.
Instead of making Perceptor a stupid truck they should've made it into a tank just like we see here with Rumble.

Disagree. I didn't ever love the flying house slipper.
Here is hoping that they repaint G2 Prime into RID Scourge. Hopefully they would actually call him Scourge, or even RID Scourge, but even if they do call him Nemesis Prime, I still know it is Scourge and I am happy. Scourge was awesome.

Agreed, As long as he has riD Scourge's paint apps, I don't care if they call him Destructicon Betty. I'm gonna buy Laser Prime when I see him, but continue to hope for a Scourge repaint. Maybe even a Toxitron retool.

Sweeps!!!! That's what they'll do. Probably give them a paint scheme similar to the Botcon sweeps.
Posted by Overcracker on October 14th, 2010 @ 10:13am CDT
Wheeljack looks interesting. He gets a racing body kit, and his tell tale winglets. So he'll get a defacto flight mode.
Scourge is just meh...
Posted by Hip-Hoptimus Rime on October 14th, 2010 @ 10:23am CDT
We are getting Laser Prime in the US, right?
Posted by Tigertrack on October 14th, 2010 @ 10:28am CDT
Wheeljack will need to have an awesome painted look for me to say it is more than just Tracks with a new head (even if the opposite may be true). And they are making WJ hold Tracks missiles like the are ratchets or wrenches...??? Interesting, or lame?
I kind of like my 3rd party Frenzy and Rumble, but I will grab these anyway.
Posted by Liftgate on October 14th, 2010 @ 10:34am CDT
Why can't we get some of that wicked looking equipment you see at construction sites? Maybe a train? Some pretenders? They could do some awesome pretender stuff with the way they make things now.
These are nice, just wish they'd try something more than cars. We would have never gotten Blaster, Soundwave, or Megatron with their way of thinking these days.
Oh, and I hope they make Rumble blue, just to screw with everybody and make it a tradition.

Looks like his gun transforms to me. I will bet it does for sure.
