Also, I agree with the wide-release sentiment.
Oh the puns around here!
And I bet a lot of people will be happy if this is a wider release. Definitely an interesting development
I couldn't resist.
Also, I really hope that I'll be able to get him, unlike how Quickslinger eluded me.

That seems different. Since those are convention exclusives, of course their going to design a box to make them look attractive.

How would G2 Vortex's tail rotor assembly make a good Sideswipe? It has neither sides nor swipes.

If that site is anything to go by, I really hope they just don't toss Rook out. I wanted him to get some characterization and to actually have a place in transformers. He has potential

That site is a mess made by an intern who couldnt care less. It is nothing to go on since it features artwork from 2 years ago.

I don't mind Rook the way I loathe AB, but I'd definitely toss him into the "unassigned limb" pile if I could get a deluxe Groove.

I think I'll be getting 4 deluxe Groove, a 2nd legends Groove, and a 2nd Hotspot just so I can make a groovy Defensor. Rook is my 2nd favorite mold of CW after Swindle.

It's neat that groove is getting a Hasbro release for those who want him but I think Computron has got me covered on that mold.
On second thought he'd probably be better than streetwise.

I'm quite the opposite. I never bothered buying Rook and use AB as one of Defensor's arm's. But best believe that I'm not buying anymore fake team members in the future.
So if Hasbro tries to get cute again and release Predaking with a Moose limb (Bull Wink-scream) instead of Tantrum or Headstrong then all bets are off!

I just don't get how anyone can dislike that Rook mold, Hulk hands and all. You can even use two of them as rollerskates for a combiner, which I plan on doing with my son's and mine after I get deluxe Groove.

Yes how dare Hasbro try something new
everything should stay exactly the same as it was 30 years ago. I for one love the extra team members and fail to see why Hasbro shouldn't be allowed to make more. It's not like these new members prevented you from getting the original team as they were released anyway.

That's not U.S. packaging. That's international packaging.
U.S. packaging for CW Deluxes is monolingual and includes a comic book.
This is more than likely the Taiwan TRU exclusive.

It Probably will get an international release, I don't think it will be like with Slingshot and Wild Ride, but right now I'm more intrigued of what they will do with the Afterburner mold for Computron.

Yes, but I would say there are a lot of differences between the remoldings that make them very different toys.
If I get four of them, I will post a picture with that Defensor having Rook feet as well.
