Some folks thinks Mirage is icky. Maybe it's because he doesn't resemble closely the old G1 Mirage.

But for me, the beauty of Mirage is in the art of its figure.

hmmm, 3 news topics out of one thread. I think we have a new record.

I fully intend to get Overkill and Drag Strip. I can't wait.

I think these are all pretty nice, I read on 4chan's /toy/ :roll: that a Premium Cliffjumper, Red Mirage and a Black Prime have been mentioned as future releases for this line.

I wanted a darker yellow on Dragstrip, but I suppose this will look better in car-mode.

by releasing a far superior version of the repaint of the thing i just imported from the U S of A

so i think that qualifies as screwing me on a personal level

Dragstrip is really nice. Exactly what the fans wanted, except no remolding, but it is really nice to know HASBRO is doing more for us than we think.

And Overkill is very, very close to the Botcon Customs Class version, but more white!!!

Pre-Orders are now open on HasbroToyShop.com for 3 of the 4 Special Edition Transformers.

Megatron

Overkill

The price is $15.99 each and they are scheduled to ship in December. Using the fill your cart to max option, there were 750 Overkills to be pre-ordered at this time.

Go get 'em! And thanks to Chindogg!

So now all we need is a customizing kit for Overkill that has a horn, his side cannons, and a different tail so he can stand upright in a more godzilla like fashion.

Juuust waiting for Dragstrip to go up and then it's him and Overkill. Man, I really hate that Prime mold. Megs is ok, I just wish he had a right hand instead of that whirly thing of death.
