Looks like one of the Sharkies has a different shade of purple than the other two... interesting.

Also, loving the recolored eyes!

I guess the pinker one is Gnaw, with the other 2 being generics. They can hang out with my Scourge and his sweeps!

On another note, I didn't realise that Gnaw was sold as a Decepticon, why was that? Surely these blokes had no alliegance, similar to the Quintessons or Unicron. You could argue that the Junkions were established as Autobots following the movie, but these guys?

You know, the greenish Unicron prototype had a rubsign too.

Now there's only two types of rubsigns .... and you know they wouldn't market him as an Autobot.

Yep. I'm sold. The new colours have tipped the scales for me. Pre ordered.
I also appreciate how pointy the teeth are.

I said that if they could do 3 of them for $90 I'd be down. Didn't actually expect them to deliver on that, but TFSource has em for $89.95 so yep, they're pre-ordered. Might not have without the new colour pics but they look pretty nice in those, so pleasantly surprised. Estimated release is late November, so I reckon I've got a few months to save up.

edit: and I can get the Hasbro ones as wee baby Sharkticons! Hell yeah!

BTW. What's all this talk of Hasbro sharks being released soon? I know nothing of this. Any pics?

All we got is a product listing. No pics yet. Also, it's going to be Legends sized, I think.

Hope it's a new mold and not a Rippersnapper repaint or somethin.

I'd give it even odds to be a bad repaint at this point, sadly.

Dammit...I'm going to end up with both UT and iGear Sharkticons...

I can't pick the better one...

(And I've been desperate to get a nice articulated Gnaw...)

There goes the neighborhood.

These look GREAT in Sharkticon mode. Robot mode, he's definitely serviceable... but I'll probably be displaying them as Sharkticons.

yep i'm gonna get these. I've never really wanted sharkticons before but these are too cool to pass.

so names: I'm going to have one as Gnaw, and the box says Sharkies, so Sharky will be one, which makes the last guy George. Bring em on!

Ha ha, I remember that cartoon. Crime busters of the sea...

Being exactly the same mould, its comforting to know that the heads can be swapped around to give the main guy 'Gnaw' a different expression!

These are awesome! If only there where MP sized.
But damn, they're fantastic

the head-sculpts are fun, plus I love how the box art manages to kinda look like a Nick roche drawing

All of my Classics-style toys are in robot or 'main' mode, such as with Ravage. But these guys... I'm thinking of putting them into Sharkticon mode.

Really glad i went ahead and pre ordered these dudes. That latest round of pics above confirms that. I like the group shots and i also think goin gold for the eyes was a great idea. The gold really rounds out the figures colour scheme overall.

Plus those teeth :grin:

. I can't get enough of the straight on pics that show off those big ass pointy teeth. I sure do hope they look as glorious in hand as they do in these pics.

We should probably be getting these before Xmas eh?
