Still confused about the complete lack of Voyager Brawn...

News Credits: 33 · Fri Jul 13, 2012 2:21 pm

I just bought Springer off Ebay for £22.99 free p&p & ready to ship.

You know, given all this talk about missing Brawn, I think that Swerve figure could be repainted into a pretty nice update for that guy.

But hopefully they'll repaint him into Gears instead. He's the only Season 1 character that hasn't gotten any updates since G1 :\

Not a bad idea, but I'd say that one's head is wrong for the opposite reasons that Defender's is wrong. Defender's head is too blocky, while this one is too smooth and curved. In my opinion of course.

Personally I'm finding none of these essential. Truth be told I don't care about any of them. I'm just pissed that these will more than likely be part of the forty Generations figures we were told we'd be getting.

Part? I'd say these are the majority. take the various flavours of the Bruticus bots and the Legends, Scouts, Deluxes and Voyagers and we're at 40, if not past it.

Hotspot and possibly Swerve are the only ones I am interested in.

Let me rephrase: Gears hasn't gotten any GOOD updates since G1

These figures getting an American release is much welcome to my ears. It's a shame that e-retailers and customers got went through the nonsense about a week ago putting up the China pre-orders, and several selling out very quickly.

For those wondering about the Voyager Brawn figure, I have a feeling Hasbro doesn't want to release this figure AND the First Edition Bulkhead at the same time (aren't they both going to be TRU exclusives in the same month?).

I'm getting a serious Ironhide vibe off of that Swerve head.

That and they'd also be jostling for space with the PRID version. Good point sir.

Dat Hotspot.. =P~

Feel kinda dumb for importing Motorbreath now, but whatever.

That redeco of Breacher makes me want to track down Botcon Octopunch.

G2 Megatron needs some purple camo!

Thanks for posting the videos. The paint apps on the classic figures looks great but it seems strange having Wheelie and Swerve so large.

That white helmet makes Megatron look like George Washington.

I wonder if it's possible to make Hotspot into a torso so FP can create some limbs ?

Other Mini-Bots have had size upgrades, most notably Powerglide and Seaspray, so it doesn't bother as much. Gen. Wheelie is actually perfect for a possible fully mature form, and as such, inclusion in an Expanded Universe shelf.
