Overkill is the one I'm most interested in.

I hope these aren’t too limited…

Damb, right! The Henkei Wildrider is ridiculously expensive and not all that inspired. I hope if Hasbro does a version they make him look like Wildrider and not a straight Rodimus repaint. And no online stores carry him. Just eBay.

Now if they'd release the BotCon 06 souvenirs at retail, I'd be a very happy man. If they're releasing a BotCon figure that used to be limited to about 30, why not?

Custom Class figures aren't actual BotCon toys.
(99% certain on this)

They're listed on the Transformers wiki, so it's not really a kitbash ether.

Crasher/Fracture is going to get a twin brother!

That...authenticates nothing.

QFT.
He's probably the only one of these four that I'll pick up. I'm a sucker for any Megatron with a G1 color scheme.

Just emailed HTSUK to ask.

they should just put the figures in a tightly wound mess of bubble wrap and packing tape and send them that way. why even bother with a box

3 Terrible Molds
1 Big waste of time.

Overkill and Dragstrip: Gotta see them to judge them, but those boxes alone are enough to buy each of the two.
These 4 are the worst molds of the original classic line avoid them. Both the Grimlock/Overkill and Mirage/Dragstrip molds are worse than the Optimus Prime and Megatron.
