I think it does detract from their status ... mainly because I don't have 'em

True again. I hate those Botcon Seekers. I don't think they're that cool. That's because I don't have them and want them still.

im just happy to get 25 year old diaclone designs brand new in G1 style boxes with no heads!!

i liked the way the cartoon 'humanised' the blocky bots of the toyline, i dont understand how anybody can get all heated over the fact that the toy wasnt like the cartoon, whan i hear 'i wont buy ratchet as hes not like the toon' im happy to know i like a toy for its own attributes and not for its nostalgic association with a cartoon.

Quoted for truth.

Now i just CANT wait for my Encore Ratchet figure !

I'd get a Ratchet, but I think I would probably just leave it in vehicle mode since the robot mode is a little disillusioning.

I'm suprised noone's made simple clip-on heads before... 3D ones, not stickers or paper mind you.

And it could cleverly be concealed inside the vehicle, for since the Diaclone pilot drivers are extinct now.

Repro labels heads are way better IMO

Man, I've have these guys pre-ordered since they were announced. I didn't expect ANY sort of heads so this is a pleasant surprise. I hope they hit before Christmas.
