That looks badass. I dig the G2 colors, despite the fact that's probably just some prototype color scheme they applied.

Oh wow, really like this. That head sculpt looks familiar.. Maybe it's just reminding me of Beast Hunters Laserback.

Nice use of the Ratchet mold. I wonder what his weapon will be.

the ratchet mould is one of my fave from prime with my only gripe being that i'd like to have seen him a size slightly larger so as to be better in scale with the rest
i'm not liking that burgundy nor the head to be honest on Gears. I'd probably pass as I'm tryin to avoid prime repaints
also, i recently acquired silas breakdown with the arms micron gimmick. This is by far 100% more interesting enjoyable than the powerizer stuff!
Maybe i'm too old to understand it but what's the point of having a giant weapon that you need to hold into place to make it look decent?

Just because it wasn't released immediately, doesn't mean Hasbro isn't going to release it. For example, Thunderwing was released in Wave 5 of the Generations line, and we saw in his instructions he would be retooled/repainted into Black Shadow eventually. Sure enough, later on in the line's last run before DOTM, Black Shadow (along with Junkheap) was released.

Thats not a bad looking repaint. I'm getting the Swerve (Breakdown repaint) vibe from that head.

What with this trend of putting a big ass "M" on the hood of every Gears ? We saw this last month on some 3rd party Gears render. The G1 toy or cartoon doesnt have an "M". I guess it stands for "Mistake".

Well, if I could pull up TFWiki, I'd tell you.

Microchange. The first series Mini-bots were part of Microman, not Diaclone: they were Super-Deformed Penny Racers.

I can see Im not the only person who has trouble getting on TFwiki. I remember penny racers when I was a kid. Although, I thought the "penny" part was pointless. Ive heard of Microman. But this still doesnt explain why only Gears gets targeted with a big "M". Ive never seen the "M" on Brawn, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, or Huffer. (The 4 other 1984 mini-bot molds)Werent they all Microman or just Gears ?

That's what I was thinking as well, but when I magnified his head, and then compared it to Swerve, I noticed differences. One example is what XDMan pointed out; Gears lacks the "shades" that Swerve has.

Gears and Swerve have the M stamped on their hoods above the radiator. Brawn and Outback have theirs underneath the Autobot symbol on their hoods, particularly hard to see because of the aforementioned sticker. Huffer and Pipes have their symbols pressed into their doors.

If that thing were released I'd hope that reddish colour on him gets replaced with actual red... y'know.. like Gears... otherwise fantastic.

I'd like to see a tad bit more red on the vehicle.

Not having the chance to ever own a PRID Ratchet (Never came to Canada along so may others), I cannot say if this mold is good or not. One thing is for sure, these colors suck harder than a vacuum cleaner.
Want to see a very awesome Gears? THIS mofo:
Superior Gears is so superior.
I just bought that ROTF masterpiece for only 10$ in a combined lot. He look pretty boss in both modes, he transform in an instant like a GoBots and it's a GIGORMOUSLY HUGE deluxe compared to what we have today. Plus, nice punching gimmick. Also, paint aps. Paint aps everywhere.
If you dont have it yet, you're missing out on pure bliss in toy form.
