I will be spending about $100 to get the ones I want.

I have all of them but Heavy Load pre-ordered.

The bios are not bad, typical Hasbro writing, however I think they could've done better than Blockrock for Blaster's minicon.

Hey I just made a topic about that...

At least it was on the front page.

Really looking forward to Tankor, Acid Storm, and Galvatron. I'll probably also grab Heavy Load as well, since I made the mistake of passing on that mold to begin with. Also kind of like Sunstreaker. Really disappointed that Blaster's really a repaint of C-Soundwave. I don't mind repaints; I'd just wish Blaster had his own mold like the G1 version did. Also ended up not being too fond of C-Soundwave...

Acidstorm, and Galvatron are my favorites so far. I am just mostly looking foward to the Decepticons and Sunstreaker, but the ore I start to see Tankor the less I want him. I think Prowl looks a little cheesy too.

Random thought time. I wonder since the bios mentioned that Acid Storm is part of the Rainmakers, I wonder if we'll see other rainmakers in the future?

That'd be sweet.

The Prowl/Silverstreak mold always looks like its wearing a turtleneck. I hope its mistransformed. Sunstreaker stands like he has a loaded diaper. I'll get them anyway, but not Tankor, especially since he comes loaded with useless high-octane fuel, my decepticons run on energon, baby!! :grin:

If I ever get Acid Storm it will be to repaint him into Thundercracker

They all look great, some more than others. If I buy any it will probably be Prowl as he's my favorite autobot.

If I were to ever get Thundercracker, it would be to repaint him into Acid Storm...

Except for the Ramjet remold, I haven't been bothered with seeker repaints because while I enjoy Classics Starscream, I don't like him enough to collect seekers. A good repaint is a good repaint, however, and Acid Storm is a worthwhile repaint IMO. Going to get at least one to have standing in Astrotrain's place over Screamer's left shoulder (as I'd be looking at him when he's there). I'd also grab a Thrust remold if I could, but I'm not going to hold my breath for that one.

Not bad the repaints are a pass but I'm prolly gonna buy all the new molds. I can't wait!!

hasbro release them already please!!! :sad:

Wow, the Sunstreaker bio makes me think back to Megatron: Origin, when Sideswipe was trying to convince Streaker not to enter the arena fights.

I wish I knew Acid Storm more. The bio makes him seem like a very interesting guy. Definately a repaint going on my shelf.

I'm still not sure about Blaster. I think I'd rather try to hunt down original Cybertron Soundwave, or even better, his black paint version.

Nice bio for Galvatron. I had been using the Dreamwave one with the picture of the new toy added in, which I did for both City Commanders:

Classic Galvatron

Classic Ultra Magnus

Thanks for linking those...
The more I've seen Acid Storm, and now that I'll have a Thundercracker,
I think I'll get him.

My checking account is definitely going to take a hit...
But, I'm someone who has had to buy all of the first Classics figures either on ebay, or from BBTS (Henkei versions).
So I'm pretty stoked that I'll finally get these at retail cost.
And since I'm passing on Dump Load, Blaster, and Powerglide,
it won't bother me to get 2 of the ones I do want.

June 22nd will be one of the better days of the summer!!!!
