I'd get Jolt and Dig Baddy, oh, woops, I mean Big Daddy :grin:

got Skywarp, so Divebomb really isnt all that wow-ish.

Grindcore? What's next? A Decepticon named Crossdress?
:grin:

Jolt and Big Daddy (see, I got it right this time) are definitely go-for's.

It could be a male repaint of Energon Arcee! Until, then I’ll use Override or Airrazor.

Interesting colors, I'll have to see what the robot modes look like. I'll prob only pick up that one and the jet, unless the robot modes are icky.

What is Grindcore based on, doesn't look familiar.

Grindcore = Awesome Name, but I'm undecided on his colourscheme.
Big Daddy = 100% Yes
Jolt = Meh
Divebomb = Blech, they did baaad camouflage...

Well, deprends on what era of Napalm Death you're talking about...

Big Daddy is full of G1 goodness.

Jolt looks like he'd make great custom fodder for a classicverse Bluestreak - just paint the purple alt mode parts black and you're set. It would look great next to Cyb Smokescreen.

It's kinda disappointing that they just pushed a bunch of repainted Cybertron figs into movie packaging.

At least the repaints are good, save for the seeker. I actually have Cybertron Skywarp and TC, so there's no need to get that thing.

I also have Smokescreen, and Downshift...but the repaints are actually looking good right now. I guess it's because I haven't seen a TF on the shelves for about a month.

I'm interested to see their bios...what reason do they have for carrying gigantic keys?

Story wise, who knows? They'll come up with something...or not. Toywise, though....I'd have to say because it's part of the toy mold coupled with the fact that the toys are designed with gimmicks that you need the keys to activate.

....Yeah, I'm being a smart@ss.....I know.

From what I see I like Grindcore the best...
Will pass on the plane, and the rest, well,
we'll see how much money I have when I spot them on the pegs.

It is kinda weird that these are now movie figs...
Oh well.

A big chance to make up for missing out on Cybertron Landmine here with Grindcore...I like the Crosswise paint better than this new one...and Divebomb is a great paint job on a really crappy figure.

I'm with my fellow metalheads, Grindcore is a must-have. Both for the name and I like their choice of charcter to re-do.
Big Daddy is also a must have for me. Love the car style (reminds me of the old Barracuda just a tad.) and the pain job rocks. Jolt, I'll have to see close up before I decide and Dive Bomb...looks like somebody in the paint dept. had an accident.
Pass on that one.

I like these, except, like most people have already said, Divebomb, for all the same reasons already mentioned, except that I never bought Thundercracker in the first place, cause I always hated his gun-arm.

I LOVE that Crosswise has been repainted into a Decepticon, and repainted with Decepticon colors. :grin:

They should have made Grindcore a Decepticon, since they already painted him green, like a Constructicon.

I almost want to get him and slap a `Con logo over his `Bot logos, so he can join the other Constructicons coming in TF Animated.

And Big Daddy is awesome. :APPLAUSE:

I never got Cyb Downshift cause I didn't like his shade of green, but this paint scheme is great. I'll slap some `Con logos on him, too, and call him Slicer. :wink:

Oh, and since we're, apparently, getting the whole Cybertron toy line repainted into the Movie line, then I would LOVE to have a Thunderblast repaint, preferably into an Autobot.

Sorry for the double post. Between my browser and this new format I have given serious consideration towards ditching this site altogether. Sorry, but this just is not working with my system. Again, excuse the double post, I've been fighting with this all *%$& day!

I like that they're making homages to obscure characters. Big Daddy is definitely a must buy. I wish they would have carried over the flames on Jolt as well. Divebomb I don't consider an homage to the G1 Predacon. If they would have used E-Divebomb, then that would be different. Grindcore looks like a nice substitute for Pre-BW Rhinox.

No thank you :\

by **tentagil** » Sun Dec 23, 2007 12:24 am

Big Daddy I may get. Love his look and love the mold.

Grindcore I am defiantly getting. A new head, a few mods, and he will become Scrapper, left foot of doom. The colors already work so i won't have to worry about paint chipping on him. Plus that means my C-Landmine won't have to get butchered for the project.

The other two I can skip, I like my G2 jolt fine, its a nice homage but not a huge fan of the mold.

And Divebomb though looking like a cool G2 homage is such a crap mold.

by **metalformer** » Sun Dec 23, 2007 1:54 am

I'm usually not top thrilled about repaints but in this case I am very pleased. Granted: do not match the movie concept but I don't mind (I actually like them because of that).

For a moment I thought Divebomb was a repaint of (Movie) Dreadwing.

And I love the name given to the Cybertron Landmine repaint! \m/ :CON:

How is he in anyway based on that?

The origanal version of Grindcore's mold is this.
