Everyone but Dirge cause it origionaly came in a overpriced 2 pack for a fig you just paid an arm and a leg for in Supreme Class.

I'm going with that cause it's the only reason why I don't have that mold(I thing the only Cybertron one I'm missing).


I think that's the reason most of us, including myself don't have that particular mold.

I had a chance to buy Supreme Starscream but passed and got Primus instead. Better choice I think.

Still again I ask, why is Hasbro so intent on not releasing this mold by itself. Only in weird 2 packs. Hope I can find this 2 pack this time around.

I think these look good, I didn't pay too much attention to Cybertron so I'm not worried about them being repaints.

Although Springer makes sense because he features in the comic, I would rather have had a repaint of Evac as G1 Whirl as I like the slighly more obscure figures (like they did in Classics 1.0 using the legends figure).

I really like Dirge, though I'd have liked a slight remold to give his head a conical shape! But then I'm not familiar with WW, so I have no idea how he appeared in it.

Gotta love that price -- and thanks for the coupon, Scaleface! :grin:

Joy! The Dirge-Roadbuster pack is perfect for me, since I always wanted both molds but didn't have the money back in Cybertron. And Dirge is one of my favorite Seekers. Primus has smiled upon me.

These are a great idea. As soon as new product starts to hit the shelves, it can chase away the last remnants of the cursed movie line, and there will be joy in my Transformers collection once again.

Love the idea that we're seeing Springer and Ratbat figures. Niether have seen alot of action with their characters in the toy world since G1.

Kinda lost on the other set, neither figure looks good in terms of color.

I'm also wondering about the price point, since these sets claim to have a voyager and deluxe figure plus comic. Does that mean $30+?

I believe they’ll be $20 each, like the Skywarp and Magnus set from early last year.

The display at Botcon said $19.99, which was the same price as the Ultra Magnus/Skywarp set back in Classics.

So buy both at the same time, use the coupon Target distributed online earlier this year to get $5 off, and you pay $35 for 4 figures and 2 comics!

That's how repaints should be sold, in bulk for a discount price!

I'd have rather they made one of the Evac redecos a Decepticon. Instead of Blades, they could have made him Vortex.

Hmm. A Search-and-rescue chopper doesn't seem like a very Decepticon'y choice for an alternate mode.

Those four repaints are all excellent, way better than the originals even.

Watch out, they have expiration dates. Mine is June 26, 2008. The cynic in me says its so that we'll be forced to use them on the various movie repaints, since Animated won't have wide coverage by then and Universe won't be out yet. I've got $50 that I'll have to burn on repaints... :-?

The combiner limbs are pretty obscure choices but my reason for Whirl was to go with Roadbuster (then we'd have both G1 Deluxe Autobots).

I was originally going to pass on all of these (I want Blades), but the more I look at Springer, the more I want it, especially since I've started collecting Springer toys. These repaints are pretty good though, and a great idea with the comics included. Reminds me of the Star Wars comic 2-packs they had a few years back. Sometimes I don't like bad repaints, but these are good, way to go Hasbro! They're really taking steps in the right direction after finally being done with the Movie. :APPLAUSE:

FYI, Star Wars and GI Joe both have comic two packs all the way up to the present...

So it is a good idea, and about time that Transformers did them more. :P

I figured, it's just been that long since I purchased a Star Wars figure or even took more interest in them beyond "Oh hey, this one's pretty cool! Now where are the TFs..." lol

I think Vortex as a rescue helpcopter works great, because they turned Onslaught into a police SWAT vehicle, so Vortex is a rescue helpcopter, perhaps they could also repaint the upcoming Hound into Swindle! I'm sure there is an upcoming tank and jet they could make into Brawl and Blastoff too.

Agreed. I've always wanted to use that hook and line and a garrot.
