I really really like it. It's so terrible that it's kind of awesome.

I think G2 fever is affecting more than just Botcon maybe..

Maybe if it was on a different character, but I don't know, too bright, and I hate the(as someone put it) "Lemur Head."
I'll be waiting for the one with the Axe.

Bleh, I wanted a Leader Blackout and Voyager BoneCrusher before I was even into TransFormers...I think they'd still make money, they just hate us....

I wonder that as well, what exactly are they for, just...collecting?

This may be a little hard to believe, as TransFormers have been in the top five best selling toys for what?...25 years now. A few days ago a list came out of the top 10 movies that have come out in the past 18 months, with the most merchandise sold. I was a little surprised to see that TransFormers didn't make the list.

I under stand that pepole love or hate the movies, it's just that people love TransFormers. I thought a lot more sold then that.

Anyway, I hope the new stuff, generations, leader class Starscream etc... come out soon.

Give up. Kids don't want them, Hasbro doesn't care about scale, so we won't get them. It's that simple.

Only the last two repaints are news to me, and Bumblebee's looking a bit blue from either lack of love from fans, or choking love from the kids The Breakaway repaint looks ok, I'd need to know who he is first. O, and a close-up on the head. Will it be a Breakaway head, or Thrust head?

That Breakaway repaint possible looks to be a Thrust repaint based on the slight view of the head, and the color scheme says "Skywarp", which would be cool. Didn't like the first movie Starscream mold. That BB looks like a knock-off it's so cheesy. These pics are coming from KO Toys....

Heheh, indeed. Still looking forward to BoneCrusher, maybe someone will figure out how to make an oversized knockoff or something, anything for this scale that is poison to Hasbro...

I actually do like the BB repaint, although not enough to justify anther 'Bee. The jet definietly looks like it has the Thrust head.

I'm on the fence with Elita-1. I'm sure she'll shelf-warm so I'll wait and see if they repaint the Arcee mold (or this one) purple.

As for Bonecrusher, if they named him Conebrusher or Crushboner he would be bought on sight, but as is, no.

Aside from the Bonecrusher repaint (which is only so-so) these look horrid. The Thrust repaint just doesn't quite do it for me & the Bumblebutt is agonizing to look at. On a related note, as far as ROTF repaints, I am digging on the Fallen repaint. He looks nice in blue & finally has a staff.
