Not sure if this is your purview or not, but I translated the cybertronian text on the torchbearers and figured someone might want to add it to their pages. (not confident enough to format it in an edit myself)

Each one has a part of message from the g1 episode cosmic rust, specifically: PM R: If/Cyber/tron L: be/your/home, RD R:far/away L:never/roam, Sb R:Hear-my/message/listen/and-fear, Sc L:Danger/comes/the-end/is-near, Du R:Just/like-us L:you-soon/will-rust Js R:All/shall-be L:turned/to-rust

Now this is cool

True, but sometimes it's fun to have a reminder of something we may have forgotten (which I had) :MAXIMAL:

Captain Killjoy strikes again.

I missed that before, so it's neat to read about it. But...they rhyme. Like, they're Wheelie's relatives or something...

I get new toy joy so rarely. Last time was Superion. This is just poetic justice.

Good boy.

But y'know, it actually was Superion as a whole, back then. With Alpha Bravo as a highlight, of course.

Boy oh boy new toy incoming.

The original notice of the quote from Page 45 - http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=102938&p=1707880&hilit=cosmic#p1707880

Remember this teaser for Victorion?

Look closely at the Groove mold component on her chest.

See the little bits of Cybertronian text on there? That's "Ancient Autobot".

On her left (our right) reads "far away", and on her right (our left) reads "never roam".

What do these words mean? Well, here's the full quote they come from:

"If Cybertron be your home, far away never roam. Hear my message, listen and fear. Danger comes, the end is near! Just like us, you soon will rust. All shall be turned to dust."

And here's where this quote comes from:

The G1 episode "Cosmic Rust".

Why is this relevant? Victorion hails from the Sea of RUST!

Plus, her sword's hilt is totally beetle-esque, like the Lightning Bug:

No one's telling you you're wrong, we're just saying that we forgot and are now excited again. Why do you kill everything we love, SabrMartin?! :-(

We have a Burn for that. [-(

I am going to be so incredibly heartbroken if the set does not satisfy my plastic craving. :PRAY:

Good thing he didn't always look like that.

The more I look at Groove, the more I like the figure. Small size, easy to tinker with, no space taking issues in bags.

Which means Rust Dust might just be my next passion project.

Not having the mold at all, that will not be an issue for me!
