Is that the biggest picture? B/c it looks like they might have remolded the head. And I spot Strongarm on the back, but what's that blue bot?

Wait, how can it be a Target exclusive without the "Exclusively at Target" sticker and without any robovision on the back. I thought all Target exclusives were robovision related.

I'll actually be getting this for the first time. Wasn't to fond of the original color scheme.

How weird it is to me... repainting normal Transformers to just toss them somehow into the temporary movie line.

Let the movie stuff run it's short life, kill it with fire, then go back to the normal lines. :roll:

After seeing the animation cell for Transformers: Animated, I think I'd rather ride this movie line for as long as possible.

I think this looks good. I liked the other 3 repaints in this scale. I think I spy more on the back of the box too!

Nice mould, nice repaint.

Sadly, the only repaints I do are G1 homages.

Im not that big on repaints but since i like this mold im going to get it. What they need to do is matbe repaint some older TFs for this line. Like some RID figures. That way newer fans or fans that missed the older line can get the figures. And i would like to see how they would pass them off in the movie line.

I like the mould, missed it the first time around in the Energon line. So if i can I'm gonna get it.

Is it really a Target exclusive? I hope not, since i don't foresee going to the U.S any time soon.

The blue guy is the Clocker repaint, which I'll pass on .
Storngarm, also pass. Already have that mould. Although i might just get it for the Energon Axe.

I might get the Cybertron Hardtop repaint also.

Cool. This guy was one of my favorite molds in the Energon tolyine and one of the few that didn't get the repaint treatment. Definately picking this dude up.

They must spend a **** of money of molds to continue to rehash em like this. Could be worse, each rehash mold could be just a repaint of the original Wheelie toy, makes my whole body crinch with pain.

So, will the movie line repaint any others? And is this a Target Exclusive, cause why in the world would the seller have it in Taiwan?

Well, they said that Prime Blaster was a WalMart exclusive, but I found it at TRU, so who know?

I like them especially the blue Clocker.

That Strongarm shall be renamed Roadbuster when I eventually get him.

I remember hearing about plans to repaint that mold as Roadbuster and was disappointed when they didnt so this will suffice. Now if only they'd repaint Tidal Wave as Broadside and stick 2 Wingstuns together and give us Rack 'n' Ruin.
