Regardless of whether or not you are getting the set now, in the future, or not at all, which toy catches your eye the most?

My vote is for Metalhawk. I think the pretender shell head would look interesting on that mold.

I vote for SG Tracks. It uses one of my favorite Classics mold, has some great color combination and can stand in as Road Rage if Shattered Glass isn't your thing.
Gigatron and Metalhawk are a close 2nd, the others I have no interest in, although Treadshot doesn't look bad either. I think some type of camo design would have fit a Shattered Glass Magnus better than an Optimus Prime rip-off theme.

I voted Metalhawk. While I do want Overlord, I mostly want his head for a custom I'm working on. And by that I mean I'll make a copy of the head. I'm not about to destroy the figure i case the one I'm making sucks! Metalhawk, I want just the way it is...

Metalhawk, I like the mold, he's a classics figure, the colours looks awesome and so far his head looks nice too.

I'm also interested in Overlord, due to him being Classics, but man that head is ugly as f**k.

SG UM looks interesting, I like how it uses the Powered Convoy colours, I might keep it if I get the set.

I see I'm not the only one who voted SG Treadshot. He gets brownie points for the fact he came so out of left field it's not even funny. Combined with the colors of an under-appreciated toy, which I have a thing for, and I'm totally sold.

I voted SG Treadshot. Love the mold, love the new head, love the colors. I'm also liking how they ported over his Universe story with Magnus. Nice touch. I'm a big fan of the SG universe and like how they keep on throwing in lil twists. No one ever said SG had to be the exact opposite of G1. It's still it's own universe that has no precident to it.

The only ones I don't care for are Gigatron and Tracks, but my vote went to Metalhawk due to the combination of a cool mold and awesome color scheme. Soundwave was close second and Magnus and Treadshot were tied for 3rd.

The head is not a BotCon original though: It's the RtS Jazz alternate head mold, modeled after Kick-Off.

I voted SG Tracks. What can I say? I'm a sucker for primary colours

But this is the heads first and possibly only release. It still counts as new.

Clearly we are not such fine connoisseurs of the female derriere as you are, xyl.

Hehe, I wasn't sure what that phrase actually meant, but it seemed to mean that I didn't like the figures, which I don't so that's how I voted.

On a side note, yes, I am quite the connoiseur of the female derriere

SG treadshot looks the best to me, they can send the rest to the drawing board.

I voted for SG Magnus. Who is Treadshot?

Universe 2003 Treadshot on TFWiki.

He has a namesake in the Generation 1 line:

G1 Treadshot on TFWiki.

... who may, or may not be the same character. The SG figure homages mostly the Universe figure, while the head is modeled after G1 Kick-Off:

G1 Kick-Off on TFWiki.
