Even if they just provide heads, so they could replace ball jointed heads that would be awesome!!!!!!

Would you be referring to the photo with the blurry additional heads??
If so, I'll agree with you that these were more than likely those heads. But if you're suggesting that iGear's attempt at a Wreckers team is just going to be clones of their Ironhide and Ratchet figure with different heads then I'm here to tell you that that is not going to happen.
Why???
Because I'd happily kill us all before I let that happen.

Option one was my assumption.

If it is just Ironhide/Ratchet clones, I'm out.

Guessing they'll either have real bodies for these bots that transform (hoping) OR recommendations from Classics to attach the heads to (and do our own repaints). I'd be happy with that, too.
WOULDN'T be happy with an army of Ratchets with wrong-heads.
I DOLOVE these sculpts. Can't imagine HasTak hasn't put these guys out yet proper.

I wouldn't be happy with that! I can barely colour inbetween the lines of a colouring book, let alone paint my own Transformers.

I agree. I could use Pyro on the classics Inferno mold and be ok with it but I foresee iGear giving us full figures. It's going to be a while though.

I don't think it will since it'll be hard finding figures for all of these heads (Especially Impactor) to go on, not to mention a lot of people don't really have that guy.

No just those two.

*pulls heads off figures*
Actually, what about those Energon combiners... and (heaven forbid) the FansProject Swindle!! *Snap*

Yeah, not sure I've seen many TFs that have screamed out to me that they were any of these characters (well, not the colours anyway). Outside of Botcon Pyro of course.
I hope we'll we'll see newly designed figures for them. My wallet hopes not.

There's now a Cyberverse Guzzle that could use that head.
Skyhammer might look good with the ROtorstorm head, or the TT Vortex.

You can't really swap the heads with the Cyberverse Guzzle, since his head is molded in and not removable, not to mention these were announced before Cyberverse Guzzle.

Guzzle is the right colours, sure but any of the others are going to need some serious repainting too, and that's a little much for me. It also limits the product, turning it from a 3rd party add-on to a customiser accessory. I don't see them doing that. I suppose the heads could have their colours reworked to fit on existing bodies, but then what's the point of choosing recognisable characters?

Yeah, he does look like Impactor in vehicle mode if you remove the crane.

That's exactly what I thought. Oh well, it's a pass anyway because I can never afford iGear products.

AS the article says it is 'Not Impactor' of Wreckers fame. Star of Last Stand of the Wreckers comics, made famous originally for appearances in Marvel's UK TF series.

Definitely has similarities to Warpath, but also different enough. Kudos. I'm hoping he will be about their Ironhide size. I'd like my not-Impactor to be a voyager.

Well, with no generations figure reveals at Botcon, looks like all my money is going 3rd party, just like you PE!
We need some size comparisons, but this could be a real oppertunity for iGear to get neck and neck with FP, if they price things right, and depending if this is through them or through BBTS.

Same here. I've been pretty hard on iGear over the last few years, but I'm warming up if they keep doing figures like this.

I've actually been a fan of the iGear stuff so far, and I'm looking forward to what they do here.
