I wish I knew the specific release date for these in the US. I'm chomping at the bit to pick these up, along with Perceptor.

车皮 of ACToys.net has recently acquired the Reissue Insecticons and has taken several pictures of them. You can expect Sharpshot, Hardshell and Kickback to be at your Toys'R'Us within the month, or the next. Regardless of the name changes, if you wish to compare the Reissues with the originals, you can do so by using Seibertron's galleries: Shrapnel, Bombshell, and Kickback.

Joining the Insecticons at Toys'R'Us will be Reissue Perceptor, and if you want them before anyone else, then our site sponsor YAHobby.com can help you out here. The original article can be found here.

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for your latest news and updates!

Sharpshot, Hardshell???? I think they could have done better than that. But either way SHRAPNEL, BOMBSHELL & KICKBACK are beautiful as ever. MUST HAVE!!!!!! =P~

I was a little annoyed at the name changes back when they were announced, but I've since accepted them

I'd bet that, if these were Encore releases, their eyes would get colored in.

really cool

I love these guys and will definitally pick them up. Perceptor can rot on the shelves. Dont know why Bombshell's name got changed. Probally they didnt want to use the word "bomb" cause it sounds like terrorism talk. But once the toys come out of the stupid box and go into my display case, He will become Bombshell as far as im concerned !!! Hope they dont round the pointed parts....that would be gay. Maybe thats why the price is so high, to pass it off as a collectors item for older kids and not arouse safety issues for babies...ya think ???

I never had the Insecticons as a kid. I'm really looking forward to buying this set.

And of course adding them to my ever growing classic Decepticon collection.
