Haha.... Too late!!

OK merged the two god I hope I didn't ruin it like I did the last time
Don't I get to post anything new these days, have I gotten so slow?

Oh and damn these looks pretty nice, they could repaint that car into that GoBot with the top hat.

Nah, you are not slow... But we are still slower than that Blurry boy though...
Anyway it is low news period for transformers now....
As i am in Asia, i try to post only when nobody around, and when Blurrz sleeps..... I didnt see u ard, so...

really looking forward to Hubcap, as I need a car scout for my Autobot brothers repaints. Brimstone will be judged on sight

Want. Want like a dozen so I can go nuts repainting them.

This is what I thought Hasbro SHOULD have meant way back when they came up with the "Classics" line. Classic cars/roadsters ranging form the 40's all the way up through the early 70's when the Muscle Cars really hit their high point. I absolutely loved the Cybertron series Downshift (and the Big Daddy repaint of that mold), have a few of the Movie series 74 Camaro BB's and I think that both Hubcap and Brimstone plus the bi-plane would fit well in that category too. Seeing Kup reformatted into an old 47 Ford pick-up would really float my boat as well.
I'm very impressed with how well Hasbro did Hubcap. I think more should be done along this style. Give kids today a sense of appreciation for the history behind the automobile instead of just more versions of the disposable pieces of crap cluttering our highways now. If the bots were fashioned after the actual cars, the 'old timers' would be loaded with raw power and be near indestructible compared to the 'new' models.
These two have the distinction of being the first of the new TF toys that I would actually go out and hunt down at a store. Pure win in my book.

Hub Cap reminds me of G2 Laser Rod, Volt who was a lot cooler than Greaser.

I've often thought Electro and Volt would be cool released as Kup and Ironhide. Anyone else remember the TF/GI Joe Crossover from Devil's Due where they travel to different time periods and scan vehicle modes from said eras? The Stunticons were cool.

Brimstone gives me a Ghost Rider vibe. Looks like the bike from the film and the name Brimstone definitely evokes hellish imagery.

Love Scout cars. ROTF Nightbeat has a great in car mode, pity about the bot mode and I still have to pick up Breakdown.

I smell a repaint, and one I will most likely be buying. Dear Primus, just don't let them be store exclusives....

Brimstone looks sweet.
Hubcap looks pretty good too.

If Transformers are going to start getting into vintage vechicles, how about giving us a 1964 Impala or a 1959 Caddilac with the fins ???
