They're tempting to various degrees, but I may end picking up either Axor or Rescue Ratchet, depending on my budget, and whether or not deluxe Ironhide gets repainted in red (it could happen, no?)

[AutobotTrainer]

Is anyone else confused by the use of the traditional faction symbols on the ROTF HFTD figures?

[Senator Ratbat]

I'm actually really digging the dlx Rescue Ratchet & Electrostatic Jolt. Axor is obviously an instant purchase, pretty sure everyone on here shares that sentiment. But I hardly ever purchase Autobots unless I want to change the scenery on my desk (my display shelves are packed with 'Cons, and nothing else), and I'm actually seriously considering snatching these 2 fellas up.

[--B--]

I'd really like to read Axor's bio, shame they didn't send pics of the backs!

[Overcracker]

Jolt is still a pass unless he's on really big clearance. Elita-1 is a pass.

Axor and Ratchet I'll get. If only because I skipped Deluxe Ratchet, exactly for this repaint.

[First-Aid]

Only one I'm getting is Elita 1 to complete the team.

Is anyone else getting a definite Drift vibe from Axor's vehicle mode?

[DMSL]

Yawn again let's get some new molds, waaaaay too many bloody repaints.

[autobot-jolt]

I just KNEW they were going to make a Rescue Ratchet; why didn't I wait for it? Oh well, Axor is cool, I'll get Elita-1 for my sister who collects the Arcee trio, Jolt is a definite buy. Yes, you read that right, Jolt is awesome!

[Forgotten]

Axor is bought, I loved ROTF Lockdown, remolding the head & hand make it all the more worthwhile. Ratchet is bought(I have the ROTF Deluxe & I really like it, but I have a crack in one of the hip guards so I can't transform it anymore, & I thoroughly enjoy transforming that mold) Don't have Jolt or Chromia, so i'll end up with the repaints. I have to find a dx Ironhide before that Ratchet hits shelves around here. Need HA Mudflap & Jazz too, if anybody in MS spots any please inform me. Danke

[Rated X]

The only one I want is Elita one to finish my bike team...

[Swiftpaw]

If only because I skipped Deluxe Ratchet, exactly for this repaint.

I here you there. I like the DLX mold better than the Voyager one (yet that one got repainted AGAIN? WTF Hasbro...), but knew they'd probably do a white and red version of it. And holding out seems to have paid off.

Alas, Elita is a pass, unless there really IS some way to combine the three. Otherwise, don't need another version of the bike mold.

Is anyone else here actually more interested in the Scout range than the bigger ones? I know I am...

[Tyrannotaur]

Axor and Elita-1 are all that interest me. It bothers me that Elita-1 is more of a blackish than Purple. I'll live though.

[Skullcrunchberries]

Holy ^#*( that Axor. Every time I see it I want it more

The rest, pass. I don't like anything I can just call Tuner (Insert Name of Original Toy Here) and have it be accurate.

[Flux Convoy]

Nothing here for me. Axor and Ratchet look pretty ace though.

*Raises hand* I own at least one of every Scout mold from ROTF so far, save the crotch rocket, versus like five deluxe molds, three Voyagers, and a single Leader.



but I also own all of wave 1 PCC and I love RiD

[Dr. Caelus]

I can't stand Axor's paint scheme (Really wish I had gotten Lockdown rather than waiting to see what else they'd do with the mold) and the deluxe Ratchet's undercarriage just scrapes too low. Won't get the third motorcycle unless someone does improbably reveal a heretofor unknown method of combining the trio, and Jolt still bores me.

Bring on Tomahawk and Terradive.

[Doctor McGrath]

Axor and Rescue Ratchet will have a place on my shelf. I'll pick up Elita-1 if they combine. Otherwise, I'll keep using my 2007 Arcee for the purple sister.

[Samsonator]

Axor and Ratchet look awesome, I've already got the regular dlx Ratchet, though and I am still working on getting Lockdown, so I'm none too concerned with the repaints/remolds

[Cobalt Prime]

Axor's looking fine. Exactly what I want in a repaint: different parts! Axor was also my favorite Action Master. Must buy.

Don't need another Jolt mold, pass.

Will buy Elita just to complete the sister trio. Not thrilled about the fact that they didn't even change the head mold, but at least we got a third bike.

Not liking that Ratchet recolor at all. Already have the first deluxe and also the Voyager "Rescue" one. The colors on this one just seem wrong, and don't give him the striking G-1 appearance that the voyager Rescue version has. Pass.

[kirbenvost]

Axor does look pretty cool, but I will have to pass, since I already have Lockdown and don't really care much about Axor's character.

Rescue Ratchet is a tough one. He looks really cool, but I've already got Voyager Rescue Ratchet. Hard to say what I will do. I think I might get him if I can.

Same - the Scouts are really just awesome - normally transforming is a chore for me, because I'm not very good at it, but the Scouts make it fun. And thy click together really well (except for Scalpel and Nightbeat.)

I will be getting Ratchet, mostly to fill out my Ratchet collection.

[Blurrz]

This wave is actually pretty good for me, all molds that I have yet to ever buy..

[TFGnome]

Is anyone else confused by the use of the traditional faction symbols on the ROTF HFTD figures?

well now that you point it out that is odd.

they all look kinda "meh"
expect for eleta shes just.....uuugh

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Michael Bay have some sort of Lucas style merchandising deal on all the movie related stuff? I am assuming that this has been done to distance it from that range and maximise profits for Hasbro?
