New Images of Challenge at Cybertron 3-Pack

Don't care about Galvatron.

Cyclonus looks great!

Hot Rod looks like a KO.

I like this set, if for nothing else but Cyclonus whom I never even saw in stores. Galvatron all in white in his alt looks a little odd but not too bad, and his robot mode is pretty good. Still not the best figure. Rodimus on the other hand could have really used more decos.

Never mind that, where's the translucent plastic? I need it!

If this really is coming to Target, I'm aiming for all three. Here's a list as to why I want all three;

1. G1-inspired coloring on Cyclonus? Can't miss out on this now, can I?
2. I need a new Galvatron. Mine's leg keeps popping off during transformation from robot to tank, so hopefully this one has a more stable leg.
3. Missed out on Hot Rod/Rodimus when he came out in the Classics line. Galvatron's feeling a little lonely, as he needs his Autobot counterpart next to him.

As most here have said...

Cyclonus looks incredible, and almost makes the set worth purchasing on sight all by himself.

Galvatron isn't ALL that bad in robot mode, but that tank mode looks far too bland for my tastes. Wish they had dome some paint apps on his off-white parts to break up the monotony a bit.

However, to my tastes, Hot Rod isn't that bad at all. The mold colors, I actually like (the brighter reds, oranges, and yellows, combined with grays instead of blacks). I'd have liked to see some higher-contrast flames on his chest (though a Reprolabels sticker set will probably fix that). I don't like the opaque, allspark-blue windows... but that just means he'll stay in robot mode.

My thoughts exactly, the orange and gray on Hot Rod re not bad, but the opaque windows are terrible.

Does anybody know if the windows are just painted over or if they are truly opaque plastic?

If I can find one of these I'll pick it up. Love the Cyclonus. And since I don't have a Galvy this will do.

Rodimus looks better than I expected. I may not have to repaint him after all.

Cyclonus is just gorgeous.

Galvatron will just sit in the box and if anyone wants him, they're welcome to him.

I agree with most of you, that bot mod Galvatron isn't bad.

You really can't mess up the Cyclonus mold, I'll take 50 of it please!

I must be the minority, but I really like the colors on Rodimus. Looks like he just walked off the cartoon screen into plastic form.

My kids are getting Galvatron and Rodimus, Cyclonus stays on my shelf!

Their cast in orange plastic and painted opaque.

Cast in "translucent orange" or opaque orange? If translucent Orange, then it may be possible to remove the blue paint.

It's not translucent, which is why he has no light piping and a painted missile.
