Optimus may be getting his rumoured S1 Autobots. Perhaps something may happen further down the line with Galvatronus.

That's true... as Superion was being noted on wave one packaging as having Dragstrip because Air Raid was not available, but Air Raid has no Dragstrip on its back-of-card image of Superion. And Optimus had the same four Limbs for the same reason of availability... but if Autobot Car limbs come out later, they might have Optimus included as their combiner core.Quote:

A sad but unavoidable symptom of being a Gens/CW Silverbolt retool, I too wish he'd just got his own straight-up new mold but alas, we have to wait longer it seems. :oQuote:

If they hadn't done Cyclonus with this mold what G1 character with no CHUG toy could they have done? Scattershot is the obvious choice but they might be saving him for a later Combiner Wars wave . So I dunno, Triggerhappy maybe?
Edit: oh hang on, I misread what you said Griff, kinda makes all my above points redundant :o
superion complete, definitely like defensor more, looking forward to this release
Just waiting on motormaster to complete my menasor. Already pre-ordered hasbro defensor, not waiting around for TT set again (seeing all the recent sales, while knowing i already have an uncancellable TT Superion pre-ordered really sucks...).Quote:

If price is the deciding factor just buy local retail, the introductory specials have been great for wave 1. I do feel a bit bad about double dipping, you know because its extra money :p this is going to be one off though.
