SDCC is in July. The following Monday after the convention, they'll be available on HTS.

I've just got to have that Cliffjumper!

Provided they have some left.

Soundwave at TRU was not the SDCC exclusive.

Seems like the SDCC one to me... Or am I missing something.

G1 Soundwave was reissued twice: in 2006 as part of Classics, TRU exclusive, and again as a SDCC exclusive in 2009. Here's the Classics one:

The Color differences are so significant.

(Figure)-------(Retail)---(SDCC)
Onslaught---Blue-------Grey
Brawl----------Lime------Forest Green
Swindle------Yellow----Gold(ish)
Vortex--------Red--------Bronze
Blast-Off----Purple-----Copper


...So for CLOSEST video game accuracy, you need:

Standard Retail:
Onslaught and Swindle

SDCC:
Blast-Off, Vortex, and Brawl

Oi Vey!

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I owned the one you pictured. 2 years later the SDCC one comes along with the G1 chest and 2 extra cassets for $15 more.

So Hasbro hasn't released the price of the Bruticus set? And no boxed figure on display? Hows a guy supposed to plan ahead?
I'm going to the convention and if Bruticus is in my price range I will buy him, but I don't know if I'll be able to carry him around if his box is huge like ROTF Devastator, or if I'd even be able to get it home on the plane.

I got Prime last year and he was no problem to get home, but I dunno about Bruticus. I have no interest in CJ, even if he is a zombie transformer.

I guess it still isn't that bad, since the exclusives are probably going to go on hasbro.com for a good price. Hopefully..

What the hell is going on with Bruticus' crotch?

And lets hope they don't sell out in like 5 minutes like Starscream did last year...

I have a feeling Cliff will hang around, like Optimus, but I question what will become of the others.

Looks mistransformed. The crotch guard.... crotch...guard...scotch guard....
the crotch guard piece looks like it has been unpegged and is sorta hanging forward off its hinge.

I'm more interested in the MP-10 displayed with FOC Bruticus. Does this mean the Hasbro release of MP-10 is SDCC exclusive?

Edit: Never mind, answered my own question saw that it's going to be exclusive to TRU...

No, they're just displaying the various exclusives together in the same case. MP-10 is going to be a TRU exclusive.

Edit: Which you figured out yourself.

Thanks and not a problem my friend! Missed you this year at BotCon.

I wonder what significance, if any, the "2059" has, that's tampoed on Onslaught?
