A green seeker, not Thundercracker, but I see that being asked for equally.

The legends five packs also look nice.

[Dead Metal]

OMG!

[Omega Charge]

Decepticons Transform and,- bring me to the toilet, QUICK!

Sorry to hear that with Scatorshot, if I had known that before I would have got you the second one as I bought one for Red.
That would have even made them cheaper in sending and buying.

*sniff* Good man

I'll find him eventually.

Like the starscream repaint all the others I can take or leave.

Q: What’s worse than movie repaints?

A: Animated repaints!

[Tekka]

A: Animated repaints!

Oh wonderful. A fugly patrol Bumblebee. Where's my Animated Skywarp? =(

[Omega Charge]

That vehicle mode is Prowl-ish, but the robot mode...yuk.

[shadowsfm]

galvatron is boring in tank mode (must have)

acid storm is a must have (i have no seekers)

movie inferno looks good

still cant find big daddy

the rest is crap i wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole

And while we’re at it, where’s our movie Skywarp?

[Tekka]

He'll be in the 2009 movie. As an actual character. =D

yea that Patrol BB is fugly as hell
and odd that there repainting animated when the figures arent even out yet!!

[Nekoman]

Better yet, if Ratchet got a new design separate from Ironhide, we might get the first Skywarp that’s not an SS repaint!

Well that wouldn't be technically true as Cybertron, Beast Wars and Universe Skywarps were repaints of non Starscream characters. But should he turn up it would be nice if he had a completely original mold.

Okay, let me rephrase that, it would be his first non repaint of an already existing mold.

Acid Storm eh? That'll take my Seekers up to 7.

Me too!


I'm glad they went with green.
Now if we could get a bigger shot...

It'll bring mine up to 3 (with Starscream and Ramjet the other 2).

I'm glad they went green too. Wouldn't normally go with repaints of seekers (retools like Ramjet, maybe, but not repaints). This would be an exception though. Not only does it go better with the name Acid Storm, but it's not the desert-style camouflage they went with with the Wal-Mart exclusive Cybertron Thundercracker repaint they did in the movie line not to long ago. While I'd consider buying that repaint if I ever see it at Wal-Mart again, that style of deco is exactly why I passed on Wal-Mart's U-Ruination repaint.

[Overcracker]

So we get a Protectobot Homage: Blades, a Micromaster Homage: Drop Shot (even though the original micromaster was blue and green), and a camo Seeker who in a sick and twisted maneuver by Hasbro is actually Thundercracker. Machine Wars Thundercracker that is.
http://www.tfu.info/1997/Decepticon/Thu ... racker.htm

Interesting choices.

I'll definitely pick up Blades, Drop Shot just because I like the mold. and MW Thundercracker *err* Acid Drop well because its a seeker.

Bumbleprowl or is it Prowmblebee. Pass.

Hotspot is not bad. but why not use a bigger mold. Say R.I.D Prime instead of Cyb Legends Prime.

The Legends 5 pack I'm definitely picking up, if only for the Cyb Starscream molds in different colors: Thrust and Ramjet will look great next to my Sunstorm.

[Bumblethumper]

Everything Sucks.

The only new mold I'm seeing so far is Bumper Battler Jazz! Nothing that hadn't already been leaked is worth a damn. Universe is a repaint landfill. All that stuff is junk.

I know people wanted repaints of the seeker mould, but that's one of the god-ugliest colour schemes they've ever come up with. I've seen pools of vomit on the street that were easier on the eyes.

They must think we'll buy anything.

Well that’s what we can expect, repaints. When was Universe not?
