I could see them maybe selling a repaint with a similar paint scheme though to get their monies worth out of the mold though.

The thing is, up until now, eHobby has only done repaints, not remolds. I don't know if they got ahold of the second head mold for the figure, or if they've gotten an exclusive remold. Only time will tell.

working off the fact that many of the Generations figures have had their alternate heads included in the original molding, I'd be a bit surprised if Wreck-Gar's Hasbro repaint didn't have a new head. I don't know if it will be this one, but I think there's a good chance, the colours will probably be different.

I really want this set (well 2/3rds of it) now, but it's so pricey!

Do you guys have an idea of how frustrated I feel?
you´re all complaining about the hefty price tag of $80 for a deluxe 3-pack, but where I live, 3 deluxes would be about $80 anyway so meh...
sadly I´m unable to order via internet, but aside from that, I´d get the set, I don´t have any of these molds and I kinda like the blue Rodimus

Not sure that I like him having a face shield. Ugh. Oh well. Here's my money!

I'm getting the 3 pack for the Rodimus and Kup. This is just an awesome bonus to me. I really like the head. Oh and you can see his head on box in those preview shots we got days back.

If Henkei Dirge and Thrust are an indicator of anything, then Hasbro will likely bring this mold over to their lineup at some point in the future.

Don't despair! We'll get him eventually.

Good point!! Since every instruction sheet for the HFTD, Generations, and RTS lines have shown the alternate heads of the figures all we have to do is wait for someone to confirm it if they get a hold of him before it hits the stores.

Maybe we will get a different head and paint job? After all there were so many of them in the '86 movie...possibilities are endless.

In any case both sets were pre-ordered before they revealed the head.

if Hasbro can give us other characters with the same toy but with different head molds like darkmount/skullgrin then there is a very good chance that they will give us Scrap Heap
but still they have yet to do a generations or reveal the shield Thunder Cracker
so who knows what will happen

I preordered it, but I may cancel. Not entirely sure. It's very pricey and the figures don't seem to be all too special, except for Rodimus. Sure Scrapheap has a new head, but it seems likely he'll be sold as a non exclucive in a different color scheme.

Now if this could have been a Junkion 3 pack, sighs!

Yea! What the hell, i'm so sick of repaints, just give us EXACTLY what we want for once, I bet tons more TF fans would get this set if it was like that...and, the Decepticons coulda been one of Cyclonus armada, and some sweeps.

Dude, I will buy the Junkion fig off you. I know Kup is coming out int he US, and I have no interest in Frozen Rodimus so that would work great for both of us. PM me if you are interested!

I say wait for Crap Heap to hit the US for 9 bucks at wal-mart.

And I'll probably get it again since the paint apps will probably be at least slightly different.

Must get Junkion army...

I see no way that will help. I'm not in the US.

It looks a bit like you could swap a few of the limbs to the opposite side of the bot without comprimising vehicle mode, and have more different looking junkions.

Q1 2011.

I hope scraphead makes it over here. I have a feeling the US will get a junkion type guy besides wreck-gar. Thing is, if there's another color variation, I'll just want all of them.
