While Takara did repaint two existing molds giving the figures new heads, for the Superion and Menasor gift sets, no one expected them to create an entirely new mold for Defensor. Well that's just what they did and Groove is a near perfect update of the G1 character. The transformation is simple yet effective, utilizing the same leg transformation as the Aerialbots. Hopefully Hasbro releases this figure domestically for collectors on a budget.

Thanks for the heads up on the clear plastic. Mine is on the way from BBTS. Saved my extra cash for this set. I wonder if Hasbro will provide this mold as Wreck-Gar or another motorcycle based bot down the line.

Maybe. I think that a lot of people would be disappointed, if a repaint/retool would be the first time Hasbro releases this mold.
