Further Information On Transformers 2010 e-Hobby Exclusive - Autobots & Decepticons 3 Packs

Out of all of that I'm really only interested in the Junkion. Wonder if Hasbro will be releasing a Junkion remold of Wreck-gar?

Can't say I'm too thrilled with them, but I'll snatch them up anyways.

I hate battle damage, unless it's barely noticeable like on 20th Prime.

Blech, pass on these for sure. Not only do I dislike battle damage, I'm also not a fan of clear figures. Junkion is the only one that sounds interesting, and chances are we'll get the remold down the line with Hasbro anyway.

I just got a new email from E-Hobby stating that there is already a delay in when the ordering period will be for these sets.

That clear purple plastic will have to look pretty darn cool for me to part with 8,000 yen.

I'm pretty sure in one episode of the animated series that he turned blue, just for one scene or something.

A wasted opportunity. I'm sorry but he would have looked super cool in movie accurate colours (pink, orange, yellow and grey).

The Decepticon pack could be cool if it's done right but I'd have to love it for that price.

For sure, good call. They should totally release it at Botcon or as an exclusive at a TF event like I think they did with DIA Commande.r

I find myself interested in the Autobot pack.

I always see Kup as old and rusty, so the "battle damage" may be appropriate.

Depending on how they do it, a blue Roddy may work well in the Shadow FP armor (assuming I can get that)

And a Junkion with a remold from Wreck-Gar would be great! They can get a lot of remolding/repainting from this guy to make many variants, and I'd be on them.

Buying this will depend very much on the final products and the impending wallet pain.

Too much Rodimus already. Really glad FansProject is releasing just two add ons for the classics mold. It's redundant to the point of lunacy, now. Is there any way we'll get a continuation of the Transformers with brand new characters, or is it gonna be Optimus Prime for another 25-30 years? www.move_the_hell_on.org

Here's an idea... how about a couple of new factions? You can come back to Autobots and Decepticons whenever you want. How about a new cyber world? In other words - tell us about the Gobots, Hasbro!

That would be kinda cool, but the legal rights to everything except the Gobots name itself, and a few of the character names, are sketchy enough that the lawyers would never allow it. They couldn't even call Armada Unicron's minicon Gobotron fer cryin' out loud. And I don't know about anyone else, but if I see figures called Autobot Scooter or Agent Turbo or Decepticon Cop-Tur on the shelves, I may just so much my face bleeds.

Unicron's moon being named Dead End has nothing to do with trademarks. The designers didn't want Unicron being overshadowed by a Gobots name homage, that's it. Hasbro has access to all Gobot charcters via Tonka, but not the molds. Crasher (as Fracture), Spoons (as Deadlift) and Night Ranger (as the cancelled Backtrack) got homages, and Bug Bite was kept intact as a character, but as a Decepticon instead of a Renegade.

Anyhow, Two factions (good and evil) per line are plenty according to Hasbro, and adding more would only cause confusion. Case in Point: Beast Machines Buzzsaw was originally a Predacon, but chucked with the Maximals instead.

I really hope scraphead is released separately. I think the idea is that these will all be unique, so I'm not holding my breath. Maybe I'll be able to grab scraphead alone some how.
