They look awesome, especially Cyclonus, and don't even like Cyclonus... Anyway, why does Hound come with Ravage? And is that G1 Ravage or a new Universe mold?

It' a pity Cyclonus is not a Voyager.

Is it just me, or does Hound have a fat face?

Ravage is on top of him in vehicle mode. Ravage is not seen when he's in robot mode. Hound seems to be about to puke with a fat face. Hmm, was Ravage eaten by him? :P

Anyway, I think Hound looks awesome.

A December release in the US for all of this cool stuff couldn't suit me more. I work seasonally and I'll be finishing up for three months this week. When I start back in January most of what I'm after should still be fairly easy to grab online, some of it may well be filtering through to UK retail and there's always a chance of grabbing some bargains with post Christmas reductions.

While the next few months aren't going to see me grabbing a whole lot of figures January should be epic.

Yeah, Hound looks pretty chubby from that angle.

Ravage looks like he's an entirely new mold. But i read that it was made in the scale that can still fit into G1 Soundwave's chest.

That's cool :) . Though I won't be buying any figure from the Universe line... no money and space for everything :( and I already have 2 Classics.

The ones I really collect are G1s, Masterpieces and Movie Trans Scanning (thank God they're only 2... but they could do Starscream as well), and Mashin Eiyuden Wataru figures. There's so many awesome figures and lines that if I bought everything I couldn't enter my room and couldn't eat :( .

I really don't like how many of the Henkei releases have randomly placed chrome, a lot of them look as though it was an afterthought, incl. 'screamer. For just $13 I think I may pick this one up.

It could be a reference to the episode of the cartoon where they capture Ravage, then feed him false information to trick the Decepticons. More Than Meets The Eye Part 2, I think.

Is Inferno a repaint? I swear he looks like an Energon figure my brother had. His fire engine graphics look really sharp, something about him looks MUCH better than any other fire engine toy I've ever seen, attention to detail maybe?

Because not everyone has him already. Why don't people ask this when another G1 Prime reissue gets thrown out? It's the same thing: it gives people who don't already have the figure another chance to buy it.

You're thinking of Energon Inferno and they are similar in design, but definately different toys.

So, not a repaint.

Animated Swindle and Blurr are also listed, but they both seem to have somehow sold out already. I got my Swindle preorder in just in time, glad I didn't want Blurr cause I didn't notice he was listed until after he sold out.

I notice some of you bringing up the pre-orders on the Animated figures in this topic. There is a thread specifically for them here :grin:

Cheetor still looks awful, that didn't change from BotCon. I like the rest. Predacon Bruticus looks like a barely repainted C-Scourge.

Thanks for the come response to that. I was going to rip him apart... but yeah, I guess not.

I just can't stand the whole "why is he in there" whole deal. Starscream was limited as hell, I never even saw it on the shelf with it's release, and it's freaking expensive as hell on Ebay now.

So this 2nd repaint.. and somewhat retool is a blessing.

They all look frickin' sweet. I wish Hound didn't look so Cybertronian, though. Ah well, I bet'll grow on me for sure. I mean it's Hound for Primus' sake!
