I didn't know about the Waspinator repaint of Deluxe BB, either, so that's new to me! I'll pass on this Blurr repaint because I love the original so much, but Waspy is a must-buy for me, and Rodimus Minor is still looking great.

FP&C'ed.

I don't know what to think about this. Black redecos are cool, and this looks pretty good, but I don't like Animated, and wasn't very interested in Animated Blurr to begin with. Never thought he looked any good.

I will probably pass on it, but I suppose it's not the worst.

I loved blurr, but I'm happy with my regular one.

The Blurr doesn't bother me much and I had hoped Wasp would have gotten a new head sculpt but this is great news. Pretty glad I bought the Skywarp now that we are getting Thundercracker as well.

And Wingblade Prime looks pretty nifty.

Blurr looks cool. The thin blue stripes on the tires kinda make think of Automan's car.

I like the black better than the baby blue. And since Blurr's wave never made it down here that I could see, I'd be happy to pick this one up instead.

Him and Rodimus are as good as bought.

That Wasp toy was known for a while, and it was either Wasp or Ironhide getting a new head. Yes, Ironhide is coming too, as a retool of Cybertron Mode Ratchet, who's a new mold on its own. ;)

That said, I'm digging Wasp and Wingblade Prime. Glad I skipped the Battle Begins one. :)

Wow, Hasbro loves me so much they decided to repaint my favourite figure. Thanks guys.

It's hard to tell from that pic, but it looks to me like Blurr is silver and black, not all-black.

I still wish they would've finished the Starscream Clones. I knew Slipstream was unlikely considering the remolding involved, but they could've given us Ramjet and Thrust.

I know Thrust wasn't in the cartoon, but then again, neither was Dirge.

Very nice!

TFA Blurr is a great figure and the repaint looks slick.

Rodimus Minor looks great and Wasp is neat(I too am glad that Ironhide got the head remolding instead as I like the look of Cybertron Ratchet more than ol' Earth BB).

Toxic Oil Slick doesn't look that much different than the normal version...I'm still going to pick one up as I love the mold. :)

It would have been very cool for Hasbro to have developed a Slipstream figure.

Oh boy!!!

A whole pile of WANT!!!!

One more seeker to add to the lineup. SO EXCITED!!!!

Can't wait for the movie stuff to end. I'm SO resetting my TFA shelf.

That Blur was so good I bought a second to put up on my classics shelf replacing Cybertron Blur.

Glad to see Thundercracker come out, Its nice to see a complete set of seekers come out in retail without any drama. Too bad they only do it with Animated Thundercracker. But mark my words, when Money talks, we sure enough will see a classics deluxe, voyager universe, and a masterpiece Thundercracker in retail. :D

Rodimus is already sold, of course. Same with Thundercracker, though I'm slightly miffed I already bought the FAB version. Wingblade Prime is a probably, but I'll reserve final judgement until I see a gallery and exactly how the new parts interact with the Voyager version.

Hmmm.. from the looks of everyone in this thread... there was a Voyager Thundercracker gallery a couple of months ago that you may have missed.

Don't have Blurr. But it would have been cool if he had some dark/deep blue in the mix. But still, awesome. I'm going to get it, definitely.

Didn't forget, just glad to see a bit of confirmation we might actually be seeing it.

I'm loving it! Finally, some TFA news to get me back into the hobby after a long TFMovieII break...

I may as well just get cases shipped right to my house. These are a yes. Blurr does look silver and black, not just straight black, to me.

After further Examination, Blurr does indeed look like he has silver. Specifically the hood/saw weapon, and his chest (of course being a faux hood).

The rest if the lighter areas, I can't really tell if they are just reflections on the black, or if there truly is a lighter silver wash there. I think his up[per thighs may be silver too.

I would have liked a really dark blurr though.

I am SOOOOO glad I am not the only one who remembers this show! I loved it! It was hilarious...anyone with a sidekick named Cursor is automatic win in my book.

Looking forward to Rodimus...looks very show accurate. On the Prime though, I'm sorry if everyone had talked about it and I missed it, but is he a new mold altogether? Looking at those arms, he looks like Popeye...
