Those really are looking good, aren't they? Prowl looks superb, while Jazz and Nightbeat I'd get at regular retail (well, if the former didn't have his emo decals) - not going to lose any sleep over it, though. Sunstreaker's looking better with every picture too, though definitely one to only look at the front of. I've got nice and used to a lot of TFs looking good from most angles, but that one's taken the G1 throwback stuff a bit too far in not having a back (first robot mode picture on the TF@TM page). Octane's robot mode really isn't that impressive, though. H@RDC0r3 BLURR and BLUDD JAZZ make me glad I spend my money on knackered old Godaikin figures, though.

Prowl, Sunstreaker, and Octane are a must. Not so sure about Nightbeat now, though. His arms look a little insubstantial.
Blurr looks like a zombie.

As a professional tanuki (I'm a Japanese mythological animal, and a good luck charm), I have an alarm clock built into me somewhere. I also look like a stuffed animal. And you thought your life was tough......

This guy is on a well known auction site right now, and I must say I really do not understand why people pay outrageous sums of money to have something that they can eventually have for a fraction of the cost.Nevermore wrote:Sunstreaker in packaging.

Otherwise, packaging looks nice, I'm still digging Sunstreaker, along with Prowl and will surely buy those two.
This. Definitely going to get the Universe figures but that Nightbeat isn't sitting well with me. It's a shame they used the Energon Hot Shot mold as a base; however, I'm having great difficulty thinking of a good car mold that could be used from the RiD, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron line.Heinrad wrote:Prowl, Sunstreaker, and Octane are a must.

Thanks, Zeeks! Great job!

Sunstreaker and Octane look great to me, although I don't think Octane has worked out as well as Astrotrain did in the previous line.
I do like Nightbeat, but as already said, the arms are rather poor - but that's a result of the mould. Still, I wouldn't pay over-the-odds for it, so I'll pass.
Looking forward to seeing the Sideswipe Sunstreaker repaint when it surfaces.
I really have no interest in this year's Botcon set, bar the MiniCon. But even that'd just be novelty.

I certainly hope that's true.Treadshot A1 wrote:Classics 2 is a must, but i heard that sideswipe is not going to be a repaint of sunstreaker (he'll have a different transformation scheme). Is that true?

Thought so.TFVanguard wrote:Sideswipe and Red Alert (presumably) will be a slight retool of Sunstreaker. The chest transformation and head will be changed slightly.
I'm happy enough that we're getting Sunstreaker and Sideswipe at all - I'll be very happy if Sideswipe comes with a shoulder missile or cannon.
