That minibot line-up almost totally different from what's on BBTS. Maybe they'll can do multiple sets. One with Bumblebee, Tailgate, Pipes, Swerve, and Outback. Another with Cliffjumper, Powerglide, Warpath, Cosmos, and Huffer. A third with Beachcomber, Brawn, Gears, Seaspray, and Windcharger. Etc. I don't own any minibots, so I'd buy any or all of those sets.
If my memory serves right - you can open up the clear orange cockpit on the original G1 Omega Supreme. If that's the case still, you probably can remove the face if you don't like it.
I don't think you can. I'll try it when I get home, but I've not known that nor has it been featured in any collector's guides as such.

Can anyone fill me in about those two BT figures? I thought that TomyTakara discontinued the BT line and would only release those KISS Players figures. (and those were discontinued as well right?)
But now I see two old figures being released again (BT-01 and I believe Meister was previousely BT-08) and I don't see anything new about them.

I am super excited about the Omega Supreme reissue, face or no face. Astrotrain looks awesome, and as far as the minibots go, I don't particularly care, but the minibots were not just repaints of Huffer and Braen et al. They were probably the most differently molded repaints in the entire G1 era, because even similar body types had big differences, as the previously posted pictures attest to.

Gears and Swerve have different heads, legs, and different chests
Brawn and Outback have different heads, hands, a different winch, and torsos.
Pipes and Huffer look similiar in alt mode but completely different in robot mode.
Windcharger and Tailgate also offer a different head and torso.
Did I miss something? All those heads look
exactly the same as their original release.

And another thing, did the G1 Omega Supreme's visor open? I can't get a good look inside it in the gallery.

It is possible to open the visor on G1 Omega, but rather difficult and you run the risk of scratching or breaking the visor piece.
I'm glad Takara will be pre-installing the face. Well, at least I hope they are.

Hasbro is the one that said that they were going to discontinue the line. As for Takara, I think that they are testing the waters again with the line. These two figures are repaints of BT-01 (Silverstreak/Bluestreak) and BT-08. BT-01 was Smokescreen. Smokescreen and Silverstreak were slightly different molds. Out of these two repaints, I am only getting Bluestreak because I wanted to paint either Alt-04 or BT-03 into a blue car so this will save me the trouble.

Thanks for the info. But those figures are both almost the same, I wonder if they really ar just testing if BT can go big again. I mean, the initial BT line was great with many different character. OK, so some were repaints, but a lot of them were great!

I think they made it possible to open the cockpit so you can change the lightbulb if needed.

It really is amazing how a simple colour pallette swap can make an average toy into a great one.
I want him too.
