Why is Drag Strip on both boxes as part of both combiners? MotorMaster looks sweet, I will be shelling out for the Stunticons.

Why is Drag Strip on both boxes as part of both combiners?

Could be a conceptual plot point to Ultra Prime's role in Combiner Wars or emphasis on the Scramble-City randomness of it all. Could be a mistake.

+ 1 for Motormaster. I'll be getting the Aerialbots too. About time something came out that was worth buying!

[Verno]

Transformers just wouldn't be Transformers without Optimus Prime, apparently. Just look at the dead guy go!

[Trent]

Bidoof is going to wet himself over that Thundercracker I never considered the Jetfire mould for a seeker repaint but it looks good.

Aerialbots bot modes look good but alt modes suck. But for the price point I suppose we can't complain

[Paulbot]

Just had a closer look at the Motormaster and Optimus Prime boxes. Both come with a collectors (or collection?) card.

[jazzcomp]

Will buy these

[Gofigure]

So much G1 win.....(single tear rolls down cheek)

[Starscream77]

All bought on site (spelling intended as these will be online as I have zero faith in Aus retail)
And as others have mentioned the new black packaging looks so much better then the current stuff

[Bidoofdude]

Holy *expletive* cow. That Thundercracker is AMAZING. AMAZING. The colours (the show ones, not the photoshop) are spot on sky blue and the IDW F-22 look is there. I hope we get Starscream and Skywarp, but this will do me. I'm guessing a lot more people will want the Marissa Faireborn figure that's coming out. I kind of want it myself, but a dog is needed.

The combiners are looking really good. I love the new boxes. Very displayable black with nice art. Optimus Prime actually looks pretty good in the photo of his box.

As for Huffer, YES. I was a little disappointed seeing the thumbnail of him on TFW, being a retool of Optimus but when I saw the close up pics, it's genius. It's so Huffer. You can see most of Huffer's classic torso under the windows, which is nice. The head is 100% awesome. It was pretty smart of Hasbro. This is a Sandstorm-level good. Bring on a Pipes repaint!

I like the very GEEWUN Kreo builds. They took note of all the customs, and pulled them off well, especially Starscream. I'll buy a TC redeco.
