I was trying to make it seem like a candy or maybe some fruit loops lols :lol:

ummm...yeahFrenzyrumble's SG Galvatron looked ten thousand times better, and the rest just...no. None of these really stand out.

That IS the appeal!

Fun fact:Shattered Glass Thundercracker also uses the Action Master colors.

Ok, I was going to buy that set for Galvatron and sell Thundercracker but now I will be keeping him. The toy is butt ugly but it's another Decepticon for my Shattered Glass shelf. I have some SG decals from Reprolabels, he will get those applied and there ya go, SG Thundercracker. It sucks that SG Starscream will tower over him though.

My god, that Thundercracker is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, and I guess I'm blind now. Now I know what BotCon figure I'll be getting at AA this year. =P~

Seekers just have that 'I can do whateverthehellIwantandgetawaywithit-badge' when it comes to their outfits.

WANT IT.

Shame it AM Thubdercraker isn't animated still, i did do a pic of one

News Credits: 3 · Fri Jun 03, 2011 4:58 am

Damn how I wish I could get ahold of that Thundercracker. It's so eye searingly glorious! What's that set running, and is anyone willing to grab an extra that I could paypal them for?

News Credits: 17 · Fri Jun 03, 2011 5:26 am

I have to get an Autorooper I just have to! :-(

Fri Jun 03, 2011 5:34 am

So. Much. Win.

Fantastic.

As ever, anyone who can pick up any of these for me will have my eternal gratitude (plus a finder's fee). However, as far as the Autotroopers go - if anyone can pick me up a set - I'll pay for the set and you can keep one! I'll also happily take anyone's Fisitron off their hands...

Strange, I haven't seen anyone bitching about the fact that people have "another chance" at picking up a Classics Thundercracker.

Also, this is the second BatCon exclusive to use the Classics Starscream mold, and G2 Ramjet is also the second time in a row that the Ramjet mold is being used for a BotCon/TFCC exclusive (well, counting Thrust and Dirge as one go). Could this mean that there's a chance of a Stalker made from the Cybertron defence Red alert mold in the future? I hope so.
How much will the Galvatron TC set cost anyway?

That pic of AM Thundercracker is from Shattered Expectations...not Shattered Glass. So, that deco isn't official for the SG universe.

Except...that AM Thundercracker's instruction booklet clearly states that he's SG Thundercracker.

Lordy lordy...

Also he has a red Decepticon decal.
I just noticed, that Galvatron doesn't have a remolded head.

Actually, from talking with Ryan, it's white.

Galvatron actually didn't need a remolded head.

To me that looks like a red Con symbol with white outlines, just like on Galvatron.

I feel a great disturbance in my bank account. As if all my money cried out then suddenly vanished.

Ok, maybe it is. But Ryan was in on our Skype call to record the show last night and he's said it was white.

One of your is lying and clearly must be destroyed.

Looks like a white outline on red plastic - thus making it look like an SG 'con symbol, whilst remaining amenable to being considered a regular 'con insignia. Clever. Want it super hard either way - and I will own an Autotrooper, one way or another...

While those figures are nice. (and I do see myself ridiculously splurging on Ebay for that Thundercracker), I'm suprised theres no Animated clone redecos. No deluxe Ramjet or Slipstream which I thought would be much more in demand than these new characters.

I really like that thundercracker. One day I shall somehow obtain it.

News Credits: 1 · Fri Jun 03, 2011 10:48 am

So much Animated I'll never own. :sad:

Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:41 pm

Toxitron looks disappointingly rubbish, and Thundercracker doesn't look brilliant either. Autotroopers, Galvatron and especially Sideswipe are pur WIN. I think they could have done better with the animated characters though.

Fri Jun 03, 2011 5:19 pm

It's weird. I never had any interest in Animated style Optimus Prime. But I crave that Toxitron.

News Credits: 4 · Fri Jun 03, 2011 6:47 pm

not too bothered about missing out on these.
Galvatron looks nice. Thundercracker REALLY doesn't, but I love that about him. (I wonder if seeing it in person might cause convulsions though)
Don't collect Animated, but Sideswipe and the Autotroopers look nice.
