At least it's not a AOE-deco Galvatron (mostly likely will come out anyways as a TFCC/Botcon exclusive).
But you will have an incomplete set of collector cards... :p

I think I'm going to opt out of these two now.
The comics will probably make me regret that later on, but I think the funds saved may go toward some 3P figures instead.
Images of Dragstrip in-hand have surfaced, so these toys appear to be in production already... which isn't surprising if sources were true in claiming that they were being released at the turn of the year.
Images of another first wave Deluxe - Alpha Bravo, the helicopter replacement for Slingshot.
hmmm. I wonder whose decision was it to name that figure as such.... kinda lame :p
Why is Dragstrip consistently crying tears of blood?
Oh great, out of all the TF's I could emulate it turns our I'm fricken Wildrider
Could have been worse, I could've been Wheelie :p
The name thing really shi*s me sometimes - I don't see why they couldn't have 'Aerialbot Slingshot ' and 'Stunticon Wildrider' the same way they did 'Decepticon Brawl' and 'Autobot Ratchet'. It seems Hasbro could find ways around name copyright if they tried
