Thanks to a cross sell packaged with iGear's recently released PP05 we get a look at three of their upcoming Mini Warriors.

• Duneraker aka Beachcomber
• Bushwacker aka Outback
• Cogz aka Gears
• Cogz repaint aka Swerve

the IDW More Than Meets The Eye comic has me really considering Swerve. Thinking about it, he was one of the few Minibots I had in G1 as well...

I think Rager is fantastic, and all of these look pretty good, but the size increase (and with it the price increase) puts me off a little.

Please let Cogz be released soon!!!

Now thats a REAL Swerve. Not some red Kup with a retooled head. Outback and Beachcomber are must haves as well. I hope they enlarge Rager and Spray to proper scout size. Ill buy them again. If not, Im glad they realized early that the whole "mini" size was meant for kiddie toys, not high end collectibles meant to be scaled with the classics line.

"Bushwacker" thats so politically uncorrect...I LOVE IT !!!!!!

If the price stays low enough, I'm in;

Am I the only one still waiting on a Pipes repaint?

it's funny, you do really gravitate towards the ones you had when you were a kid!

Cybertron Armorhide makes a pretty nice Pipes, especially if you have botcon huffer as they are mould mates. Really looking forward to finally having a Gears. Outback looks schweet to.

I'll probably get all of them. I got Rager and he's good. Didn't get Spray because the HFTD-Voyager was good for me.

I'd probably get Rager again at a bigger size, since he's great. I would like them to stick some weapons storage for him in alt mode though if they're altering him any.
I think for maybe about £20-30 I might be able to stretch to getting a few of these guys. Like I said, Swerve is the most appealing right now, since he's hilarous.

So looking at the poster I am guessing Duneraker will be Cogz's partner? Thats cool! I will gladly buy both if they are only bundled together now....

I'm up for a bigger Rager too. iGear obviously realized they got the size wrong and I hope they've realised the demand is there for them to take a second shot at it. Maybe the reason they haven't revealed a Pipes repaint is that they're at work increasing the size of Rager before doing so. That's what I hope anyway.

I would very happily get each and every one of these.

BTW, I know it isn't on the photo but the real product name for Swerve isn't Cogz, it's Veer.

Cogz is their name for Gears. I didn't know what Swerve's pseudonym was but Veer sounds about right. If you buy two of him you can attack Hoth.

Veer is the correct name.

These have far more of my interest than anything Hasbro has announced. Bring them on!

I'm sure it is.

This made me laugh so hard snot came out.

I'm really excited for these to come out. I can't wait for the Gears/Swerve mold especially.

Bring it.

I wish I could get it. Can someone explain it to me, as I feel stupid?

It's cool. It's from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. The commander of the imperial strike force attacking the rebel base on Hoth is General Veers.

I will order all of them... now where's my Brawn and Cosmos?!

This is the latest info I have on them, from Dragongames (ebay seller)

Hi friend wreckgar and thank you for your preorder
Just to confirm you release date of the mini warriors 03&04
September 15-16th

I'm assuming that is 2012 and not 2013! Fingers crossed

I still haven't gotten over the size increase. I know, I know, but Rager was perfect!

That said, these guys look fantastic, so I'll probably end up giving in and getting some of them. At the size and price point of their original two Mini Warriors though, I'd probably have just snapped them all up. Not sure about Outback, and am definitely skipping Cosmos, but Brawn looks pretty good, as does Beachcomber. I'm not overly keen on getting repaints here, but the remolding, and the parts each character has played in the classic and new comics respectively has me really wanting Gears and Swerve.
