But I'm still a bit miffed that they've rereleased Yellow Giant -- with improvements. I don't mind being an early adopter who supports a company's efforts, but not if I'm going to get kicked in the end.

I see your point but there has been a fan voice lobbying for an improved yellow Giant.

I'm very excited about this set & how it's being released.

Oh, for sure. And I'm not saying I believe that companies should prioritize exclusivity when there's demand. But that sort of behavior doesn't really encourage me to preorder something when there's a chance it'll be rereleased with improvements down the line. Since they're consistently offering box sets, I'd be shocked if they don't release one of Guardia in short order.

maybe online retailers will continue to do what they have done with the TFC combiner a and release them all together at a discounted price when they are all out? Or maybe MakeToys will give us a box set G2 Defensor or Guard City? I could see them going for something like that.

Hmm. Not really feeling it. The feet on the sides of the legs don't really bother me, oddly enough, but he doesn't really look like Hot Spot.

In my mind, Hasbro wins on all the individual bot modes, but falls a tad short for the combined form. Guardia is the opposite.

At first I was like "whoa... too different". But its actually a nice re-imagining. Not my cup of tea, but nice nonetheless.

Streetwise will benefit from reprolabels but looks like a really fun mold. I am glad I will get some time to enjoy him separately before the rest of the team is out.

I really like First Aid & Blades. My only nitpick about First Aid would be his visor. I wish it were a little bigger, height wise. Here's hoping for a white stripe on his forehead!

Blades looks fun & the katana's are a nice touch.

Blades looks bloody badass and I wish he were CW compatible.

Im still surprised anybody even wants this. When I saw he Defensor was gonna have shin-guards like Fansproject Menasor, I bailed out. I prefer Hasbro's molds for Defensor and Takara's Groove is the icing on the cake...

Not only do I want it, I can't wait to get it.
