Blades: http://cgi.ebay.com/transformers-univer ... dZViewItem

Dropshot: http://cgi.ebay.com/transformers-univer ... dZViewItem

Hopefully we will see them on HTS soon.

From what I've seen these look pretty good,
but not sure I want Dropshot, and Springer in the 2-pk may be the only 'ol Evac mold I need.

Nice, will try getting both, but they go backseat to some other molds of higher priority.

Is Dropshot a homage or an uninspired repaint like Heavy Load?

I love the Evac mold, so I might get Blades. And Springer, too...

Dropshot looks good, not great but worth getting - I'll pass on Blades, I think the Springer repaint is much nicer.

Yeah, I actually really like how they did the colors on Blades,
but I'm definitely going to try and get that 2-pack,
so Blades is a definite maybe.

Not really :\ There was a G1 micromaster named Dropshot who transformed into a a blue decepticon APV, but it looks nothing like this figure.

Still buying it though, and Blades. Damn my completionist mentality D:

I doubt it was intentional, but he does bear a slight resemblance to Shot.

Looks a bit like Micromaster Flak's body shape with Micromaste Sidetrack's colors, but I'd guess they wanted a Decepticon to balance out Blades as an Autobot, so we got a Decepticon.

Having missed out on both these molds, I'm interested but I do think Springer looks better than Blades. Needs a bit more white to be Blades, IMO. And whilst I've nothing against Dropshot, I'd rather have the Roadbuster repaint. Just have to see which, if any, make it to the UK. :-(
