Ok, I guess they got Powerglide nipple gimmick from Shumacker's Batman. With the addition of the light up firecracker electronics as you guys meantioned. But what about Octane's wide gardening tool? Is there anyway of removing it? Don't like the kibble there. Am I the only one here?

Yes, as said the propeller board is removable. Which is how he's able to hold it in his hands.

The shoulder stuff, I don't think is removable.

If it's removable I might get him. Do they also have rub signs? One other minor thing I wish Powerglide didn't have those fiery nipples. Are they removable too?

In the color pics, Octane's/Tankor's hands are empty, so I guess the answer is yes, but the answer on Powerglide's engines...Nope, it does not look possible without heavy modifications.

Better Yet! Thanks!

WHAT?! you don't want a G1 reissue?

A minty fresh G1 Shockwave is the transformer equivalent of baby jesus

Actually I'd love both a Classics & reissue Shocker, if only

I know that you are joking but it's not fair comparing God to anything including a mere toy.

uh? SOUNDwave, i want him in a new body for classics, one that alows for his minions to eject from him, not shockwave (yes i want him too, reissued and in classics ).

Oh... It was Friday night and I was reading with my beer goggles on when I posted that :oops:

I feel stupid.

But to the point of a new Classic Soudwave mold, I don't think we'll see it - atleast as a cassette player - because they are no longer a relevent item in todays world and I'd say the toy designers would have a hard time convincing the top brass to put money into the project when the target market has probably never used a cassette player.

Also if you have Soundwave you need his tapes, and that'll mean the development of a bunch on little toys whose success depends on the sales of Soundwave because the target market which is still kids (even if the toys nod to collectors) are unlikely to want their mum to buy them a packet of tape transformers as a stand alone toy.

I think the Tapes are what stops Soundwave from getting a MP too... That and those fat cats in Washington *shakes fist*

Glad it's been a slow time for transformer collecting (for me anyway). I'm pulling these off the shelf as soon as I see them!

Damn people on this board are touchy - We're talking about toys for goodness sake, relax.

A pinch of salt people.

Can someone try and give a specific description of the colors of Onslaught?

That would awesome.

Yeah, saw that, but didn't know if those were the final colors... Especially (and thankfully) since the head is different from that photo.

I'm not actually feelin' those colors.

I believe those two heads are the same. The pictures are just taken from a different angles and the paint job makes the details look different than the prototype.

The colors on the cover of the TFClub Magazine are probably going to be pretty close to the final colors.

They're cool, the whole lot of them. Especially that dude Sunstreaker.

Still curious about the other guys, but am honestly looking forward to 'Swipe and 'Streaker. Yeah-yay-ee! :-B

by **Auto Bot** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 3:22 am

The heads of Onslaught are the same. It's just the coloring.

What i'm interesting in, is seeing the rest of the gang in full color.

Hopefully, the actual production colors.

Not some super paint jobs that won't happen in the actual toy.

Oddly the head for Onslaught on the cover of the magazine seems to have ear-spokes sticking out of his head, but the prototype picture by Hasbro and the color photo inside the magazine have o spokes on the head.

IT'S August man, just look at the linked Transformers Universe page!

Holy Magnus P.I.! I leave for almost a year, then I return to see this. My favorite transformer, Onslaught, is back. AND HE KICKS ASS! I WANT HIM RIGHT NOW!!! :sad:

Same goes for "Tankor". The others rock, too. Lets hope for Blaster, Arcee, Cosmos, and the rest of Bruticus in future waves. Is there a release date for these ass-kickers yet?

I think those spokes are not part of his head but behind his head. If you look closely you'll notice that the two molds are not identical. The abdomen region is a little different.
