I bet this will be a 3 pack not unlike the United three packs that have been happening like the seekers. 3 toys, $100-125 pricepoint

They each have their own number, so I would be surprised if they come together. These are unrelated to the Combiner Hunters set.

United three pack is an Asian exclusive thing not available in Japan

I'm sold on Slipstream. Here's hoping they get individual releases and don't sell out like the last trio of ladybots did.

the last trio of fembots were sold individually by Takara! No box set. "Unless you're talking about that sdcc set we just saw"

I don't think he implied they were a boxset, just that they all sold out pretty fast.

right, misread that one.

yesyesyes

[RiddlerJ]

Crap. Now I GOTTA import these.
My poor wallet.

Maybe if there's enough demand, Hasbro will bring these over like they did with the GDO figures.

I DEMAND! DEMAND!

[Gauntlet101010]

Oh, sweet!

This isn't quite the Slipstream I want (I would have liked her to resemble the Classics Seeker mould more), but it's the Slipstream we have and I'm not gonna quibble about it.

Nightbird brings me right back to that horrible 3rd party version. I rarely regret a purchase, but even on sale it wasn't worth it. This one looks so much better.

Ooooh these are great! *waits for more of the inevitable Yuki teasing tweets*

I'm not sure about Splitstream. I'll wait for clearer pictures because let's face it, the Windblade mold is not the best around. Spider bot #2, I will pass because that spider mode look stupid. Nightbird, depending if she's different enough from Arcee would be a sure buy.

EDIT: goddamn typos...

[Rated X]

I already got 3 different nightbirds. Im not sure I need a 4th one based on a concept someone already did. I would highly recommend the MGT nightbird which is only 50 bucks.

For Slipstream, those fans on thecwings gotta go. The mold works quite well, but if they dont remove the fans, total failure.

Blackarachnia seems to be the winner of the 3. I always felt the animated molds work great for CHUG if you gett rid of the goofy heads and replace them with more serious looking ones.

[Madeus Prime]

Oh dear god, I must have these, I could maybe skip on Nightbird, but Slipstream and Blackarachnia must join my collection!

[padfoo]

I might actually preorder these I want to see some color pictures.

Makes you wonder the relevance of having to mention owning quite a number of "unofficial figures" in an official figure thread.

Next we'll be hearing the figure is not staying true to its animation roots of actually transforming into a car and not just being a non transforming robot.

Slipstream,BA and NB is gonna sell like hotcakes regardless as the rest of the fandom don't really care on such trivial things so long as Tomy releases them and in more or less animation accurate paint apps.

Blackarachnia's boobs become... pedipalps.

[Noideaforaname]

^ I'll never look at spiders the same way now...

[Madeus Prime]

Blackarachnia's boobs become... pedipalps.

Genius.

Genius.

Found on male spiders, no less.

Actually its a fembot thread and nightbird is one third of the topic...get it right.

With that being said, I stand by my comment about not getting rid of windblades fans being lazy. You didnt see hasbro leave starscreams wings on jihaxus?

It's still posted in a encompassing thread for Transformers Legends. Any official figure is fair game

[Nemesis Maximo]

'Bout damn time they got around to retooling Windblade into Slipstream. $OLD

Blackarachnea now has boob-ticulation? $OLD

Generations Arcee as the Nightbird? Um...maybe not.

Ah well. Two outa three ain't bad.

Thanks for getting me to jump out of my chair!!

I like all three of these. Indeed, as others have said, it is nice to be getting an official Slipstream. My Prime Starscream can quit being transgender. (If s/he so chooses, that is. )

The others I am less bothered about. I much prefer my Beast Machines Black Arachnia, though the animated one is fantastic. Nightbird would be cool, but I don't know that I need her in my collection in this manner. Though, maybe I could use the head and swap onto another fembot to make a more accurate Nightbird...

[NuclearConvoy]

Not that I expect anyone here to be clairvoyant, but how long until y'all think we'll see preorders listed for these?

[SW's SilverHammer]

TT Nightbird, Slipstream and Blackarachnia!!!
Jesus Christ all i can hope is during a blue moon on friday the 13th when all the planets align, and the space gods are kind enough, we'll get word of a domestic release for one of these Specifically slipstream, eat my ass funpub.

[Wolfman Jake]

Forget Thrilling 30. THIS is the year to truly celebrate Transformers! Thrilling 31 it is!

*vomits*
That looks so gross!

[TGS1985]

was excited for a second. but they are all repaints

Not quite accurate. They have "retooled" parts. Not necessarily lazy repaints.

Still I would've preferred if they made Slipstream from a retool of any version of Seeker than of Windblade.

That aside, am I seeing this correctly in that the fangs of Blackarachnia's alt mode turn into her... breasts in robot mode?

Man, talk about a booby trap!

Thank you, I'll show myself out the door.

EDIT: Didn't realize a whole new page sprung up while I was making my post (this thread is on fire!) so I was wrong, not fangs and therefore my corny joke is ruined... but I did learn something new about spiders...

[Ultra Mad]

I'm not fond of Nightbird but I should buy her as well as the other two. Not sure what to do with my Telemocha Black arachnia repaint now tough.

Somebody asked it before but anybody knows when these ladies should be release?
