O get that they've already got the molds but Slamdance being upside down still bugs me... I'd love to see new cassettes of these guys as the originals were my first cassettes... the g1 cassettes in general are just perfect

Why can't they make jets look like jets anymore?! Both Raindance and Skywarp have horrible blocky growths under them that make them look about as aerodynamic as a brick. How is it that the "updates" have worse jet modes than the originals?!

His G2 toy had a G1 symbol on it, so I'm pretty sure he didn't sacrifice anything for it. Maybe some decals though, but yeah.

Don't worry about it though, I didn't know about it till I looked at the original toy ;)

TFWiki lists Slamdance as a redeco of Skytread, but he is definitely sporting a new head. I was worried they would cheap out, but Hasbro pulled through on this one. :D

I'm confused, even greenlight will be $50? By the way I did some quick math and the Skywarp and Sideswipe sets come out to around $45 USD, looks like the extra few bucks are for the privilege of being able to buy official Hasbro product. I'm really disappointed with Slamdance as I would've hoped we would've gotten the proper weapons.

I hope not. In the past 2 years when Deluxes figures came with a *little something extra* (thinking TR Arcee, Grotusque & last years Punch, Blast off, and Repugnus) they were between $25 and $30, I would expect/hope Greenlight, Lancer and the other Deluxes to be around the $30 US Price Point (20 dollar deluxe plus 6 dollar Battle Master plus a small markup for packaging and exclusivity)

Skywarp having 3 battle Masters would normally retail for 30 + 6x3(18) So $48.... Meaning $50.00 would not be a bad price at all for everything included.

I'm curious about the Targetmasters, although Skywarp alone would justify getting them.

I guess in my "personal continuity" G2 Sideswipe would have to be a different character. Lambo? Spinout? Fish-Tail?

Spinout is already taken, he's the red redeco of Sunstreaker. And a Chef... Who got promoted to a field commander... Because the Cons ripped tjrough everyone else above the chain of command.

Okay, well, not the Slamdance I've been hoping for, but it's nice to see that someone remembered him, and that he's not just a redeco. Also, is it me or does it seem like whenever one of the original three Seekers is made an exclusive of some sort it's always Skywarp?

IDW's previous universe introduced a black, white, and red bot born after the war in Trypticon's hatchery, whom Arcee named Sideswipe after the original was finally taken off life support.

To be fair they are supposed to be Cybertronian alt modes, in the seekers case, the tetra jets seen in more than meets the eye part 1. I suspect we'll be given earth mode jets again at some point ;)

Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of its existence. I'm a little behind schedule with my readings (right after "Dark Cybertron", actually), since I didn't manage to get the whole IDW first run until recently, thanks to Humble Store.

Aw man I hope Skywarp isn't going to be too hard to get. For one thing, his colors are crisp and a lovely shade of purple, as opposed to some Skywarp which are a bit too pink. He also come with his own little squad of Battlemasters and these little guys are always fun. And finally he complete the main seeker trio.

I hope I can get my hands on that set. :-(

Leader class price point? So I have to pay leader price for Skywarp because they packed him with a bunch of extra crap that I have no interest in? And I hope it's just these pictures but he doesn't look black, he looks dark gray.

Not gonna lie, the only figure here I'm excited for is the skywarp. The skytread is nice, greenlight is.....fine, but the g2 sideswipe suffers from not goin all the way, like the cw g2 bruticus set. I just hope that an armada wheeljack will come from the sideswipe sometime.

Its been a (near) consistent pattern that at least one of the Seekers end up an exclusive. Pretty sure they do it on purpose knowing people want the trio. >:oP
