Well I think that nixes the Animated Repaint theory, if true of course.
I can't wait to see it.

Can't wait to see the whole set. Hopefully they're not anmated molds. Don't get me wrong, I like the TFA toys, but they're still available out there on mass market.

Energon love, yay! If there's more Engergon repaints in the set, I'm all over it like cheese on pizza.

I'm hoping that the set is not TFA figures. I'd love to finally get a classic-verse Kup to stand with Hot Rod, Ultra Mags, and Springer.

OK, that's cool. But I wanna see the finished product before I get my hopes up. But why does he have 2 guns? Didn't E-Screamer have a gun and a sword that combined into a bigger sword?

Hope this is true and steers away from animated molds.

That is the same thing I thought.
Perhaps he will come with 2 remolded guns for the Botcon release.

I'm surprised this mold hasn't been used more often.
I still think you could get a decent Classics Thundercracker out of this mold.

If I remember correctly the G1 accurate repaint that was done in the later part of the Energon line had severe second mold syndrome issues. Don't expect this figure, if he is coming, to be able to hold his vehicle mold well.

That would be nice. If you look closely, the guns aren't the same. Maybe they still combine.
Hopefully they fix that for this release. It's a good mold, I hope they do it justice.

I have a feeling we're gonna see the figures on eBay before we see them on the BotCon website.
Anyone else think it's ironic that a toy that was originally Skyquake was repainted into Starsrceam. Now a Starscream toy is being repainted into Skyquake.

I always thought Energon or Cybertron Starscream would make a great Jhiaxus.
How many colour schemes have there been of this mold? I have the version with the blue weapons but am not sure if it's the G1 colour scheme as whenever I see the G1 repaint for sale on ebay, the colours seem brighter to what I have.
Also think this 'blue weapon' version makes a neat Thundercracker.
So who is being repainted as Thunderclash?
Are they just sticking with Energon molds? If not, Stalker has to be repainted from Defence Red Alert.
I'm just going to say, would love to see Divebomb repainted as Banzai-tron and Cruellock in the traditional Dinobot silver, black and red but renamed Tyrannitron.
