Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Overall, most look pretty good. Like most people, I can do without all the repaints, BUT we all know Hasbro has to get the most bang for their buck... I will admit, unlike many of my G1 contemporaries, that too often we forget how many repaints were thrown around back in the day...Hell 90% of what's now called G2 were straight up repaints of G1 lol

Anyways, here is my ONE complaint...Why the "F" do we get a Swerve instead of Gears?!? I can only hope that Gears comes up as a repaint, but we're celebrating 30 years, lets honor the first ones to pop up!!

Unless Doubledealer gets the same level of retooling as Sandstorm I'll be passing as well.

I like the execution on DDealer. Couple wishes. Give his wings feather looking (and totally unrealistic) paint to add to the homage and make a big cannon projectile that looks like DDs cannon of old.
Love the idea from above that he would keep the face changing gimmick go Blitzwing. Too bad it probably isn't happening.
The mistransformations are BAD. And yet I think it's an inside joke now, possibly.

Skids is pretty cool too. Don't mess with him, he's a theoretician, man!
I'd really have preferred them give that repaint to Beast Hunters Predaking, so we could have had a Goldar lookalike be a bit more accurate, without the faceplate, he's not Goldbug to me, although I suspect it will at least be comic accurate, given events in the last issue.
Doubledealer is no Flywheels, but he'll do probably. If I hear that they've fixed the issues with the Blizwing mold (same as they did with Sandstorm locking together in alt mode much better than Springer).
Cosmos and Swerve will be getting bought. I hope they repaint Swerve's wee buddy to be the Groundshaker plane as well. He's perfect for that.
necr0blivion wrote:Awesome galleries! I think Skids and Rhinox are the best looking figures out of these sets, and glad that Cosmos and Swerve are also getting a place.
Doubledealer was a surprise, but from these pictures it looks like the mold still suffers the problems with Blitzwing: nose-cone doesn't fit in properly in jet mode and shoulder doesn't pop in all the way in robot-mode. Is it too late to tell Hasbro about these issues, or do they even care?
Doubledealer is the one that really needs that gimmick, shameRiddlerJ wrote:Arctorro wrote:Unless Doubledealer gets the same level of retooling as Sandstorm I'll be passing as well.

They should've kept the face swapping gimmick. He could've switched between a robot face and a bird face depending on which side he was working for.

And maybe Punch/Counterpunch.

I thought the same. But Doubledealer does look appetizing...
