Thankfully TakaraTomy seems to be working on Blast Off as a Space Shuttle orbiter.So that means that just like with Groove, there will be a deluxe size for the original Blast Off? (For the record, I have no problem with Blast Off being a jet. Makes more sense, actually. Just like Groove being a legends figure does.)Thankfully TakaraTomy seems to be working on Blast Off as a Space Shuttle orbiter.

And I'm glad to see the G2 Aerialbots won't have an Alpha Bravo included.

They'd be foolish not to. So this Blast Off can be purposed as a 6th member wannabe like Alpha Bravo and Offroad.

My guess is because the Legends Class figures have no really obvious combination methods with other toys (meaning you have to be in know), TakaraTomy can get away with releasing them standalone. The Deluxes on the other hand have a rather obvious peg in their chest, what could they be for...
From the looks of it, TakaraTomy is skipping these for the time being:
- All retooled Legends, including Huffer, Warpath, Rodimus and Viper
- Alpha Bravo (they'll get him as Vortex instead)
- Offroad (they'll get the base mold as Ironhide, and the alternate shell as First Aid)
- Rook (they'll get his reshell Swindle instead)
, I'm sure the japanese tf fansites feature hasbro's stuff to see what they'll be getting, or maybe they don't

Do kids actually pay attention to stuff like that on the net, no matter the location? Honest question here!

I'm also really surprised it's that low. Victorion was advertised as costing $99.99, he these guys are much cheaper.

She includes a lot of new and probably exclusive parts

True, but at the same time, the component parts at retail price are about $95, so hers makes sense. The G2 sets, not so much. And we must remember: the weapons and hands and feet are included with other sets, just as the regular version and not the upgraded versions, so I would think they should cost about the same
