Haha.... Too late!!

Haha.... Too late!!

Nooooooooooooo

OK merged the two god I hope I didn't ruin it like I did the last time
Don't I get to post anything new these days, have I gotten so slow?

Oh and damn these looks pretty nice, they could repaint that car into that GoBot with the top hat.

I really dig the ROTF scouts. The only one I dont like is Rollbar (think that's his name), its his transformation that sucks the golf ball.

Look forward to getting both of these.

Nah, you are not slow... But we are still slower than that Blurry boy though...
Anyway it is low news period for transformers now....
As i am in Asia, i try to post only when nobody around, and when Blurrz sleeps..... I didnt see u ard, so...

ROTF Brimstone's like the Cybertron version?


You must be thinking of Lugnutz, Cybertron's Brimstone turned into a pterodactyl.

really looking forward to Hubcap, as I need a car scout for my Autobot brothers repaints. Brimstone will be judged on sight

Good gravy that roadster looks sweet!!! Even if the bot mode sucks, that's gonna be mine...I just love that car mode! I have to hand it to Hasbro...there have been a few very cool and original (EJECTOR!) alt modes in this line. Between the biplane and the roadster, the line could go completely retro...

...now THERE'S an idea! A Transformers reboot that occurs in the 20's and 30's. They could come with their own Tommy gun-like weapons and fedoras!

Want. Want like a dozen so I can go nuts repainting them.

Man, that Hubcap is pure win. Definitely getting that for the collection. Brimstone also looks cool, but I'll give it some time to see if the mold gets repainted into Wreck-Gar down the line somewhere/when.

This is what I thought Hasbro SHOULD have meant way back when they came up with the "Classics" line. Classic cars/roadsters ranging form the 40's all the way up through the early 70's when the Muscle Cars really hit their high point. I absolutely loved the Cybertron series Downshift (and the Big Daddy repaint of that mold), have a few of the Movie series 74 Camaro BB's and I think that both Hubcap and Brimstone plus the bi-plane would fit well in that category too. Seeing Kup reformatted into an old 47 Ford pick-up would really float my boat as well.
I'm very impressed with how well Hasbro did Hubcap. I think more should be done along this style. Give kids today a sense of appreciation for the history behind the automobile instead of just more versions of the disposable pieces of crap cluttering our highways now. If the bots were fashioned after the actual cars, the 'old timers' would be loaded with raw power and be near indestructible compared to the 'new' models.
These two have the distinction of being the first of the new TF toys that I would actually go out and hunt down at a store. Pure win in my book.

I want one, and I'm gonna give him Z-shaped stripes, and give his robot mode shades, a long beard, and a fuzzy guitar...

Hub Cap reminds me of G2 Laser Rod, Volt who was a lot cooler than Greaser.

I've often thought Electro and Volt would be cool released as Kup and Ironhide. Anyone else remember the TF/GI Joe Crossover from Devil's Due where they travel to different time periods and scan vehicle modes from said eras? The Stunticons were cool.

Brimstone gives me a Ghost Rider vibe. Looks like the bike from the film and the name Brimstone definitely evokes hellish imagery.

Love Scout cars. ROTF Nightbeat has a great in car mode, pity about the bot mode and I still have to pick up Breakdown.

I smell a repaint, and one I will most likely be buying. Dear Primus, just don't let them be store exclusives....

That IS win. Pure, unadulterated win.

Brimstone looks sweet.
Hubcap looks pretty good too.

Don't forget to make the guitar spin. Gotta have the spinning guitar.

If Transformers are going to start getting into vintage vechicles, how about giving us a 1964 Impala or a 1959 Caddilac with the fins ???

Two more Scouts to add to my collection. I'm really liking the alt modes.

Love the red vintage car, but the bike looks a little "toyish" for my tastes.

Based only on the Toy Fair pictures, neither of these will be seeing my shelves. Both are too ROTFy for my tastes.

So much you could do with that chopper in the way of repaints. Lobo, Oil Slick, Wrek-Gar. Personally though, when I saw his robot mode and that face design, I instantly thought of the Renegade leader Cy-Kill! That would be awesome!

Yup, I want those two.

Well judging by the Toy Fair pics I'm not digging the hot rod's robot mode, but the bike has potential. Only problem is, he's not a recognizable character I really care about, so he's missing one of the requirements to join my collection. Maybe they'll give him a cool repaint.

Scouts have got to be the best things ever created!

All the way back i've always been the greatest fan.

minibots
cassettes
BW basics
scouts

they are always the best thing about a line.
