The Crosscut head has a vaguely Optimus feel to it...

Machine Wars Optimus wasn't vaguely 'primey'
I'd love to see them do a little scooter. That's what I thought Crosscut was missing

The Thunderclash mould is still a lot more "primey" ( ) than Roadster... I wonder if this repaint will get the Euro G2 name for G2 Optimus, "Sureshot" is a military enough name.

-Black Tracks
-Black Skids
-Black Sideswipe (G2, I guess)
-Black Ironhide
-Some Black Voyager???
I would be all over that.

When you say Tracks, Sideswipe, and Ironhide, I'm assuming you're talking about Classics/Universe. With that assumption made, I wouldn't even both with a black voyager. You can throw a black Reveal the Shield Jazz in there, or a black Hound, and You'd have a good 5 pc set. Hell, throw a black Wheeljack in there, see how well it sells. I'd buy it...

gothsaurus wrote:Yeah, I have to agree. A box set with a very clear theme - like five black figures - seems like a really good way to go.
While I admit, I DO like getting some figures that match with previous years SG or G2 sets... I don't want the ones in the set to appear random... and it's seemed that way for quite a few years now. Even the Machine Wars set had Beast Machines heavily mixed into its content... and the G2 set had SkyByte in it.
Looking back, I think the Stunticon, SG year one, Beast Wars redux and Wings set nailed it.
Again, I DO want an assortment of figures that throw a nod to various fans and factions... I just want the set to be really matchy-matchy. (all black, all white, all Diaclone homage, all race cars, all one gestalt, all one TV show...
BUT getting back on track... the more I look at this black Skids, the more I love it. Absolutely excellent.

It's the toys themselves that don't follow a single pattern, there's nothing that really binds them together when it comes to deco and characters, or origins thereof.
