That works. It could be very cool.
IF these figures are going to be sold for Botcon or TF collectors club prices then they are all easy passes for me.
Interested in Hotspot, Swerve, and Wheelie. Although the Jazz mold seems wrong for Wheelie. Maybe Cliffjumper, and Springer depending on their heads, strangely I'm only interested in how all the new heads look and if possible stick them on more appropriate molds. Hard to decide until we see the toys themselves rather than cardbacks, which will have photoshopped images anyway.
I want the Cliffjumper just for the head. Then I can put it on my classics Cliff ;)
So far I'm in on Swerve, Springer, Wheelie and Hotspot :)
I'd still love to see some Generations Targetmaster love or some RID love/ recognition seeing as this year marks the 10th Anniversary of RID airing in the US (I'm sure Goktimus will tell me if I'm wrong).
Quite surprised by the lack of attention to the fact that "Bluestreak" has been reacquired... :confused::eek:
Personally I'm really digging Powerdive, Hoist, Sandstorm & Laserbeak and am really hoping RobotKingdom gets a hold of them; Seeing as though they're being released in their backyard. :D
A lot of them really seem superfluous to me. :o
Bluestreak was re-acquired a couple years ago, with the first *Hasbro* Bluestreak Transformers toy being the RPMs/Speedstars car in 2010. There is also a Stealthforce Bluestreak and a Bluestreak Kreon as well... but aside from those three and this new Generations toy, the one in 1984 was the only "Bluestreak" toy called "Bluestreak" by Hasbro.
(I wanted to include a link on the tfwiki, but it seems to be down at the moment.)
Gah, these are all pretty weak. Think I'll pass on all
Dead end alt mode looks really cool. Other than that its all pretty meh
Looks like the source of the images have been found as being an online retailer called Toys2mail... as the Leader redecos were posted up here (Ironhide & Starscream - back of box images like the others above).
So any news as to how to pre-order these gems?
RK has the legions up 4 preorder

If they're repainting RtS Optimus and Starscream, I wonder if they'll end up repainting RtS Megatron as Browning?
I've had that idea at the back of my mind for some time now, but it's never come to fruition due to my lack of painting skills. Would be an awesome little figure though, almost to scale with the MP series :p:p:p
The deluxes have sold out (in fact, over-pre-ordered) over at RK. All while I was deciding on whether or not to take the plunge. I can't seem to find them on sale or pre-order anywhere else I've looked.
Haven't seen the voyagers or leader class ones available anywhere either. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or have I missed the boat?
RK just put up more Deluxes last night (10pm NZ time) but at the increased price of $150US per case.
I managed to (hopefully) secure 3 cases to serve myself and other New Zealand collectors when listed at $120 a case; just hope I was early enough to actually secure. Seems they over sold originally.
Don't think I secured the Voyagers as I used a saved cart to order well after they were sold out.
Will be trying other online stores to secure some singles when released - have too many spare Prime Cliffjumpers to try and get anymore Swerve and Springer via case sales.
Oh wait, just read what's in a case.
Did they really have to have 3 cliffys and only 1 wheelie?!?!?!
DAMMNIT
Btw if there is another store stocking these figures I'm all ears because I'm not a fan of RK
By the way, what does GDO mean? it's used in the title for this wave
