All his wheels are painted, like in the G1 cartoon, plus he has that added silver on the left foot which works wonders, and he has Bonecrisher's inner threads painted to match the other side. And finally, while it isnt paint, they use an extra plastic colour to give him the correct purple hands AND they paint both the inside missiles of the transformed inner hands plus give a nice grey painted line in the forearm to breakup all that black.

This is such a welcome change to the drab looking Hasbro one. Look at the colours from the begining of his forearm to the end of his fingers, its just all boring black plastic.

Takara improves this more than people are letting on. Hasbro's is the one whose combined mode looks like unpainted ass:

I'll grant you the wheels, those were a godsend. And hasbro's version is about as cheaply made as possible.

But they could have added something to break up the absolute sea of nasty constructicon green. Even if all they did was add some visual flairs to the combined mode, like hazard stripes across the thighs, or scuffing on the buckets' teeth (scrappers specifically), pick out some details like ladders or stuff in silver, or color the exhaust vents black, something, anything, there's so much green...

If they're simple repaints or minor remolds, they'll be easy passes. Really....the only way I'd be interested in this set is if they're completely different characters that haven't had a toy in a while.

My thoughts are they are going to be some iteration of Scourge, Hook, Line and Sinker. We'll just have to wait and see.

Evil rook with possible new head? Yes please

Still not a bad idea I'll be happy with pretty much anything. Sure to be some good eye candy

Though, what's the point of releasing the mold, if people in japan wanted the character? For rook, it works, b/c they haven't gotten the mold at all, but without ruckus' head, offroad is really no different than the ironhide they're getting...

True...maybe they'll make Hook, line or sinker have some new heads? Or maybe some new characters. Who knows. I babble

Cyclonus as Energon Megatron
Rook as Snow Cat
Offroad as dump truck Demolishor
Skydive as Starscream
Air Raid as Jet Mode Scorponok

Galvatronus as Megatron Hyper Mode
