The repaint of Armourhide is easily my favourite out of the lot, although Elita 1 looks fairly good too. Nice find.

Elita-one in my opinion is way better then the rest... though all of them are good :D

Armorhide looks pretty sharp in black and yellow, I may have to pick one up.

Such a great mold.

Armourhide is potentially the greatest Basic figure ever (and he's one bad mother trucker!)

I hope these aren't Target exclusives, but the fact that they're on the Target website doesn't give me much hope.

Man, Hardtop is so screwed, isn't he? :)

These look nice, I think I want them.

Damn it! Still no Shortround repaint... that mold really needs to come back again, my favourite or not, he was still a big hit with alot of fans.

Elita-1 is really nice though. That Energon Arcee mold is great, but I think know it's gonna suffer like the Combaticons did from just being repainted so many times in such a short timeframe.

Armorhide looks kickass, still one of the best scouts ever made, man... I miss the Cybertron series...

Yay, Clocker! :grin:

The other repaints don't look too bad, but I definitely prefer Air Raid's colors over Skyblast's.

Hey, Strongarm lost his shins in the war!

Anyone notice the Sector 7 symbol on Strongarm? Wonder if he's working for them or if Optimus just wanted someone undercover there. Love the fact we finally get an official Elita One toy. I'm not crazy about repaints but she'll do. Clocker looks cool too. What's with all the military colors this time, not a fan of green. When will they get to repainting some of the Real Gear stuff, I've recently finished a Booster 10X (Laserbeak to all us G1 fans) repaint changing most of the red to gold and some of the black/red into violet to make him into Buzzsaw.

I like the green camo Skyblast and black Armorhide. I might get both. Also, is that another variation for Strongarm? I know there's the primarily green one coming. This one looks much more yellow and drab green opposed to the other.

Armor hide looks so bad ass
I'll pick up two of the Armorhides. One to keep, one to bash.

Armorhide is hands down - sweet looking in those colors.
Elita 1 - good but another one.
Air Raid - great choice of coloring

Does that mean we call him Cotten, and he is overly obessed with patriotism? :lol:

Hurray, Elita 1! Now we can pose her with Optimus for (cough, cough) those tragic romance scenes and such. :x

Elita 1 is the only one on my must have list.

Armorhide and Air Raid are the boys I want. Man, I hope they aren't target exclusives either, especially since I don't have a Target within 50 miles and they aren't available online!

I am not one for buying repaints that often, but I really like that Armorhide he will be found.

I so picking up Air Raid and Skyblast. just love the Energon Lance.

They are both repaints of Energon Skyblast right??


Strongarm is so mis-transformed, its ridiculous.


Armourhide. looks good in black and yellow, but i already have the original cybertron release, i don't particularly love the mould enough to warrant a repaint.



So all these are confirmed Target exclusives, or will they be general release?
