Sign me up for Gears and Beachcomber! I like what I'm seeing here.

I like Cogz and Bushwhacker but Duneraker just doesn't appeal to me. He looks too simplified.

so we'll get these by this time next year?

Agreed. Duneraker lacks the nice details the others have and his feet/heels look pretty open which makes me worry about stability.

Gears, Outback and Beachcomber? Yes please on all three.

What's going for "Beachcomber" is the size. I have the Legends version, but Scout class is a much better fit for all of these guys.

I just gleed myself waiting for my flight.

I'm excited

TMI, thanks Mkall.

But, yea, I'll be getting these.

This time next year would be fine ... my wallet will thank me for the break.

Can't resist... Cogz

Gears is a must have. So is Beachcomber even if his alt mode sucks. Im not thrilled about Outback being white, But than again, they had originally posted a render of Brawn being bright green and yellow and then changed it to the proper colors. Im sure somebody will get the colors right before production.

I like the look of all three and will most likely get them all.

I like Gears and Beachcomber. The wheels on their arms seem really large, but I'm totally fine with that.

Gosh, it will prolly be like 6 or 7 months before these guys get released

Yeah, you're both spot-on, but then again Beachcoomber's vehicle mode doesn't have the same sort of mass as the others and so there'd be less for iGear to play with if they wanted to keep them reletively in scale. It's certainly not so bad that I won't be getting it. I'll be getting them all.

I'm getting bored of this myself, but with more Mini-Warriors news comment comes another request to iGear to upscale Rager.

I am happy to see these three. Is that a daisy on the barrel end of Beachcomber's gun? It would be fitting for him.

Gears is bigger than I expected. I was expecting same size or slightly smaller than Brawn. But I will still get him.

Agreed, Gears does look like he will be even taller/buliker than Brawn, not sure if anyone was really asking for that. I was hoping that the hugeness of brawn was a one-off. Anyway I don't have a gears so sure I will still get him. Beachcomber is crappy, though. That sparse detail will look particularly bad when twinned with the low quality plastic seen on Hench and UFO. Outback looks OK. I much prefer his weapon and the integration of it into the alt mode over Brawn's shotgun thingy.

With their Gears, one more. All I'll need is a Trailbreaker and my goal will be complete.

Is that for a complete Season 1 collection? I'm missing 4 dinos as well

If TFC ever gets their act together you may have a Dinobot team you can use.

Trailbreaker ... well, technically you could count the Lenegds figure. I kinda do, if only so that PE's Reflactor has someone to pick on.

It's for a complete 1984 pack-in catalog. The Dinobots would count to the 1985 catalog for me. As for Legends-class trailbreaker... no. Scale doesn;t matter much to me but I have some general guidelines. And with one exception I don't buy Legends/Cyberverse.

I'm with you, once I get Gears and Trailbreaker I think my checklist is complete. Although an Igear Windcharger would be sweet.

Dinobots would just be gravy. TFC's aren't bad, it will be interesting to see how many FOC ones we get.

I hope someone is working on a Trailbreaker, despite reports i'm not convinced Headrobots is going to release Big Road.

I'm getting all of them....I'm helpless before the appeal of these non-minis so even if Duneraker's shins are too hollow i wont be able to resist. Just hurry up and make them iGear.

I won't be getting all of them. The HFTD Seaspray and the Universe Powerglide were good for me. But these three, yeah.
