Don't you dare destroy the Silverbolt mold. I think it's great and have each variant thus far. Looking forward to the Skyfall. As for Hardhead, I think Hasbro picked a decent figure to homage, less the headmaster thing. Colors are right, it's a miltary-like vehicle, and the face-mask fits in with original G1. I'll be picking this one up.

Ok Ok i wont destroy it, but i wish hasbro would do something really different with that mold and its getting old too. I have Silverbolt and Darkwind, and i would say i MIGHT get Skyfall, but i will have to see him on the shelf to make the decision... I guess i see it this way, hasbro has money, alot of money and im sure they can come up with new dies and molds for us and I'm sure everyone would agree. right?

I will now state the obvious: Unfortunately, Hasbro is just a business with the goal to become as profitable as possible. If they can convince us to buy 10 repaints of each mold, then they would have no problem doing it. Sometimes through clever marketing they are successful. That is why I need to have at least three repaints (Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp) of each Seeker mold (encore, classics, masterpiece, titanium, WST) because my inner 10 year old thinks that is badass. Hasbro's marketing from 25 years ago still has an effect on me.

Hasbro will try to get away with as many repaints as possible.

I personally have a hard time buying a repaint of the same mold but for a different faction. I can see bots from the same faction being similar, but across factions it seems a bit contrived.

I love this mold, but they should have put more orange on it and made it Roadbuster.

This mold is a good one, and I am surprised that Hasbro has waited this long to do a repaint using it. That said, I believe I'll pass. It's good though.

I like the mold and the new colors but im gonna pass. Its to much money for a repaint with no remolds. So hasbro doesnt do repaints for the sake of repaint huh? I think this is a prime example.

I'm so in love with this one. I absolutely love the shield design the best.

I like it, aside from the silly shield symbol. Unfortunately it's not a character I collect, so I still won't have any versions of this mold.

Oh please This mold should of had been repainted as Roadbuster

Nice repaint of a cool mold!
