Yes! 
Hopefully each pack will be 10$ or something. I would buy them all with Soundwave if that's the case.

Well that is exciting news that's bad for my wallet. Might have to jump at SW and his minions now.

So does this finally solve the 30 year old debate about which color is Frenzy and which color is Rumble

If they aren't very expensive I think I'll grab the Laserbeak/Frenzy pack, since my reissue Lazerbeak has long since lost his head and I don't own the Frenzy/Rumble mold.

When did Laserbeak's laser get so short?

I guess Soundwave listens to Bob Barkers advice

This rerelease is a deep loss for all FIRRIB fans.
However! We will not back down! Has long as 
/ 
are still around, this fight shall never be over!
Shhh, no one mention that the original toys were exactly like this, as that would prove that FIBRIR was the original idea.

You know, I find that I don't like any of the cassettes as well as those originals. Even the masterpiece versions come up short when compared to those in my mind. I don't know why. I mean they've updated virtually every character from G1 in one form or another and created superior toys ... except those guys. They're just neat. Glad to see them coming back!
Expect to pay $40 a pack for them.

I'm just worried what will happen if they decide to reissue Ratbat, given he originally came with Frenzy

Damnit! I was gonna do just that after seeing all the comments! Yeah, this is nothing new. The G1 Hasbro releases always followed RIRFIB. It's the G1 cartoon that first gave us RIBFIR. Since then, Hasbro releases have alternated between the two naming schemes, fueling the fires of the debate. Takara has always remained loyal to RIRFIB, though, and even swapped the names back for Japan's release of the G1 cartoon a year later. Since this "Vintage G1" line is trying to emulate the original releases as much as possible, right down to how Soundwave and his minions were bundled and sold, it makes sense that Hasbro would retain the original RIRFIB naming scheme for this line.

I still say to this day, G1 Ravage is one of the most elegant Transforming toys ever made.cruizerdave wrote:You know, I find that I don't like any of the cassettes as well as those originals.

There's a pattern, but it's inconsistent. The main players in this war are either in team toy or team toon.Wolfman Jake wrote:Damnit! I was gonna do just that after seeing all the comments!

None of that contradicts what I said at all, actually. Takara Tomy has always done it RIRFIB, and Hasbro switches back and forth. Where I take offense, though, is in the name of that JPEG. Everyone knows their proper couple name is "Rumbzy!"
