I'd buy it for 30 bucks. That's about all there is to say. These molds are far to new to deserve a platinum style reissue.

What a shame...I really want this set because Rodimus looks pretty good and I need another wreck-gar for my Iron Maiden Junkion upgrade set. It seems the colors are really basic and muddled on both Scrapheap and Wreck-Gar, with Rodimus being the clear favorite. I'll wait for this one to drop in price before scooping it up, I do need a United Scrapheap though.
Also Reviewer doesn't mention it but besides the color Rodimus's engine block has the Henkei addition for the Arms-Micron targetmaster that was sold separately (which I have fort some reason)

I think I'd go $49.99..I think. It would only be my 3rd version of Rodimus in that mold. Can I reverse the scene and it be Rodimus Junkions (Rodimukions?) vs. Wreck-Gar and his moto-buddy Scrapheap? Sure I can. They're my toys!!Ironhidensh wrote:I'd buy it for 30 bucks. That's about all there is to say. These molds are far to new to deserve a platinum style reissue.

Eh, not bad looking, but not a buy for me. Just can't afford this

I meant the Maiden japan/Lucky Rogers upgrade kits for a Junkion Medic and Warrior. They're paint matched more to RTS Wreck-gar's original mold (but with the Junkions mix-matching and stuff would be an okay aesthetic...) I was thinking of another upgrade kits name mix-mashed with that set lol

Wait wait wait... hold on a sec! I think I just had some memories come back to me! If I recall, some years ago in 2006-2007, a friend of mine let me borrow a transformer, if I'm not mistaken, I think it was this Hot-Rod! I have been trying to remember for so long what toy that was, and I think I finally know!

The platinum line was well represented today at the New York Toy Fair with even a surprise or two. For instance, there will actually be a Transformers Platinum Robots in Disguise set. Better than that it will include the previously Takara Exclusive Battle Grimlock which was a heavy retool of FOC Grimlock. It also includes the standard Bumblebee deluxe toy which sports a different deco than the Hasbro retail version. You can see live images of them on the showroom floor here.
The other platinum set shown was the Cyclonus, Scourge and Sweep set made up of the Universe/Gnerations molds. Cyclonus seems to have a new gun rather than his target master. All three have parts made up of clear plastic. Let us know what you think!

I think it's a reference to the transformation scene in the movie when their becoming Galvatron and Cyclonus etc.

More overuse of transparent plastic on what's bound to be another poorly priced platinum set. Why use a new Devcon head we've never seen before for this nonsense?
Whoever is thinking up these sets and deccos really needs to move onto a different toyline. Their heart is clearly not in it.
It's like a complete line of afterthoughts.

Here's an idea for a Platinum Set!
Troop building Junkions and Sweeps. No silly gimmicks like translucent plastic, just troop builders, a set people would actually be interested in instead of tacky reuses of old molds.

It's actually not the Devcon tooling. It actually looks like a whole new tooling, with Devcon's face but Scourge's head tube thing. Why even bother making a new head just for this set, who knows.

Or two 3-packs of the seeker limbs, if you look, airraid has a triangle cut-out under his cockpit, almost as if the head it were to conceal ended in a cone shape

I actually did say that it was a new head, this was exactly the point I was driving at.
Y'know, when I heard the rumours of a cyclonus' armada set, and a junkion set, that was exactly what I was hoping it to be.
But instead we get this shit show

Ironically, I wonder if hasbro considered doing that (it would be cheap) but thought that we (consumers) would say that that was 'lazy' of them, and changed it at the last minute

It seems possible. But considering some of the mold choices (e.g. Classics Hotrod, Universe Galvatron & Titanium Rodimus) I'd say they're very much dissociated from any idea of what the fans want, at least for the platinum sets.
I just keep wondering 'who are they for?'.
The pricepoint is too high for your average casual fan to go "oh wow, i remember these guys!", a lot of the more seasoned collectors will already have most of the molds and characters in one way or another, or even be looking to get new versions in the case of Galvatron. The diehard G1 fabs will look at the inaccurate deccos and be turned off.
The decco doesn't even seem to be the sort of premium paint job stuff you'd get from an e-hobby or asain market 3-pack set to justify that price.
Who actually wants to buy these?
