Is it me or do i have to wear special 3-D glasses to understand this? I will admit i wasnt into G2, but not sure if any of these are worth shelling out the cash for. But if i did, would have to take out the batteries to turn off the neon glow at night!

The interesting thing is that the Octane/Tankor vehicle mold does look a lot like the old Pyro vehicle.

Still, I'm glad they're not using it.

This is a really good release.

Think about it. The Barricade mold is going to be outdone by the Target Bruticus Barricade in most collections.

That leaves Hardhead and Clench as better representations of the mold.

I'm not being 100% clear on this, I get it, but the mold is being put to better uses that its original intent.

Clench is the first one to kinda wow me for this year. Following that, Streetwise is pretty meh when grouped with these other loud characters.

Which is okay. Each brightly/neon character should be paired with a very bland, black or dark blue colored character.

Clench = Blades (Dark Blue)
Breakdown = Streetwise (Black)
Skybyte = Sideswipe (Black)
Pyro = Dragstrip via Mirage (Black)

Just my opinion...

lol, I felt like I needed to put on sunglasses when I was checking out the Botcon site. It was awesome.

So, seeing the reaction to the sets so far am I right in assuming over half will end up on EBay, or otherwise sold?

Okay... I thought Clench was black... Or is the picture in the giant TF book a different locale release/whatever?

And actually, for the alt mode, I do like the Octane better, though Onslaught does have the size benefit...
