I knew they would repaint Breakaway, glad I skipped him for this one.

this looks cool i've got to say that.I'm not much of a collector but i was planning on getting a rotf toy of someone that was in the film.CAN ANYONE RECCOMEND ?

Also on a sidenote when will the legends devastator be out?

I'll recommend Sideswipe. He's a pretty impressive figure.

Legends Devastator.. IIRC, it's coming out some time in August. Remember it's Takara-only, so you'll have to order it from an overseas distributor.

Honestly, I think this is great. I may be a little biased on the matter because I don't really like movie-Scream's toy designs, but in general I'd rather see a retool of a new figure than more repaints of the older ones. Even if it would of been justified for the Seekers.

New head mold.
Cool.

Well, Hasbro *did* state that they're trying to make toys more interesting, when it comes time to issue the inevitable round of repaints... and that to that end, they'd started planning secondary head sculpts early on, and ALREADY including it in the first mold. That way, they just use the head they need, rather than go back and retool the whole dang thing just to make a slightly modified toy.

Perhaps the ROTF line is the first real evidence of it... a new head sculpt, already being previewed, so quickly after the first wave comes out. Wasn't there also a repaint of Sideswipe or Sideways, that had a new head?
