A member of AcToys.net has posted new images of the upcoming Transformers Universe Ultras Darkwind and Autobot Countdown.
These images confirm the rumour of them being store exclusives as they both have a "only at ToysRus" sticker.

Darkwind turned out pretty awesome-lookin'.
Though I admit that's a pretty versatile mold for repaints.

Countdown... eh... not so much. Looks like a bunch of building blocks somewhat.

all right toys rus exclusives whooo have nothing against target my only complaint i live far away from target toysrus is closer for me any news about the combiner energon series exclusives.?

I might have to grab Countdown, because the 'micromasters as normal TFs' Classics/Universe has going amuses me. And the recolor, much like Dropshot and Roadbuster, looks better than the original Cybertron figures to me.

thank f**k their not botcon exclusives, toys r us in england may not get them but some kind sellers on ebay will

the war goes on

i will get countdown i dont need a repaint of silverbolt

I think Darkwing is a must have for me, since I have Botcon Dreadwind.

I think I'll get the Silverbolt repaint. I passed on Silverbolt and this repaint is fairly nice. I'm trying to mostly stick to Decepticons these days in an attempt to cut back; I'm just totally running out of room and I prefer the look of the Decepticons anyway.

Afraid I don't like the colors on Darkwind...gotta get COuntdown though...awesome...

Myabe on the Countdown so that I can repiant him. Pass on Darkwind.

Darkwing will be mine.

I'll be getting both as soon as I see them!

And the name confusion is complete, now we have every combination possible:

Dreadwind & Dreadwing
Darkwing & Darkwind

Darkwing is good but I would have preffered they repainted red alert as DoubleDealer

still waiting for them to do Onslought as Hardhead, though he would need remoulding

Damn. Only Toys 'R' Us? Such awesome needs to be mainline, not exclusive.

Darkwind is nice in bot mode but I don't have Dreadwing so I may not get him.

Kinda hoping there's a Henkei Dreadwing.

Well, New Zealand usually gets some Toys 'R' Us exclusives into Toy World (both of whom are probably linked) so I might have a chance of getting these cheap but either way, they're mine. But Darkwind? What kind of retards work at Hasbro?

Darkwing and Dreadwind combine to form Dreadwing. Darkwind is nobody. Botcon Darkwing... This should have been Dreadwind. I could understand if it was copyright but... wtf........ At least call him Dreadwing and say for some weird reason that some random Dreadwind and the Botcon Darkwing have some how randomly been melted down into this mold. I don't know but Darkwind makes NO SENSE!

As this is clearly Darkwing, I'm not sure how calling it Dreadwing would have been an improvement on Darkwind. "Look, there's Dreadwing and Dreadwind!"

They look great.

I like repaints. They make my heart feel good.

Me likey! Now need a damn release date for these guys!!! anyone or anybody??

I will be buying both of these.

But is Countdown Voyager or Ultra class?

I think there is some confusion with the names. The Botcon exclusive was Dreadwind. http://www.seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=10457&f_cat=7&f_keyword=dreadwind&f_year=



This new repainted figure should have been Darkwing. No melting or merging necessary. Now, I would like to see someone kitbash these two and form Dreadwing.
