G1 colours, nice. :)

From the box art it looks like the transluscent orange plastic parts from the original and Japanese mold repaint like the cockpit and engine/chest parts have been replaced by blue plastic.

Yup, G1 colors ftw. Looks even better than the Japan-Exclusive USA Edition.
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

Botcon 2010--Souvenirs Rapido, Scorch/Shattered Glass Ravage


MISP preferred, but will consider opened NM/Complete, especially for older figures. Lots of TFs for trade! Please PM any inquiries, serious interest only!

Thanks Real Dev!

I have the USA Edition Powerglide and I'm not interested in G1, so I don't need either of these.

Looks nice, but being a Walmart exlusive means hard-to-find where I live. The Walmart near my house is usually poorly stocked with Transformers, especially exclusives.

That's so weak and makes it a no for me. Encore style figures should have the original names.

I'm going to nab those Insecticons because the ones I own are all in pieces and broken. I need a new set at an affordable price.

As for Powerglide, I did want him and might get this version, see how it goes.

I like what I see. The Insecticons have their chrome, which was the major worry for me, and Powerglide has retained the grey arms seen on the one shown at Botcon. Plus both should come to the UK (Asda and TRU have both been pretty good at bringing in the relevent exclusives for the last couple of years, MP 'Screamer and WW Prowl and Grimlock being notable exceptions).

Only thing that I would have liked to have seen was the inclusion of the enegon cubes that the bookbox reissues came with, but no biggie on that score.

Geez, I didn't even notice the name changes on the Insecticons. That's lame. Still going to grab them if I see them though, maybe Powerglide also, but I'm really not a fan of that mold.
Maybe I just missed it somewhere, but are the Insecticons going to be Walmart exclusives also, or just Powerglide? Sorry if that's been answered to death already.

Are the Insecticons Walmart exclusives too?

Or are they going to be TRU Exclusives?

All Commemorative Editions have been exclusive to Toys 'R Us in the past, and the upcoming ones, the Insecticons and Perceptor will be too ;)

And please quit whining about the names. At least appreciate the effort Hasbro took to even try and release them. Besides, what's in a name? I could be calling them "Fuzzywuzzy", "Snugglywugglykins" and "Periwinkle Stardust" and I'd still be happy. :P
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl

I'm not whining. I am of the opinion that the original names are preferable to these which they were given for whatever the reason may be. that's not whining, I'm just giving my opinion. I don't care what the hell they want to/have to call them, they're Kickback, Bombshell and Shrapnel to me. I was just saying what I thought about the names as printed.

Yes, Kickback is still Kickback!

And it makes sense. I believe Robot Hero Shrapnel was called Insecticon, and Robot Hero Bombshell was also called Hardshell.

So this probably could have been, or was predicted by truly detail oriented folks.

You know, I don't know what's worse; the fact that it took Hasbro 6 months to fix Leo Prime's fudged up color scheme, or the fact that it's taken Hasbro a whole year to figure out what color Powerglide should have been. Repaints like these piss me off. It should have been done right in the first place, not rectified with a correctly repainted store exclusive. (:|

Dangit, I wish the good repaints weren't always exclusives. I don't have an easily accessible Walmart in my area, but I'll try to get Powerglide somehow. The Insecticons are cool but I'm not interested, they're not exactly my favorite G1 characters.
