    Yep - watching these very closely!

    This is one of those rare instances when I simply DO NOT care what price TRU will charge... I'll be grabbing these as soon as I see them!

    Re their names... I don't care if they call them Buggy, Sluggy and Fugly just as long as I get them! I'm excited that Kickback will have pointy wings too (at least, according to what we've seen so far)!

    That'd ruin the rhyme, though. Fuggy is much more gooder


    Eagerly waiting for Masterpiece Meister

    Hmm apparantly these arent coing to Australia if I'm correct???? I read it in the most recent Q & A from Hasbro a couple of days ago. Isn't it Toys R Us arent going to stock these?

    That and the Wheelie, Cosmos and Hot Rod Legends wave. Crap in a hat.

    I think that they have changed the names because Bombshell and Shrapnel are too 'unfriendly' and politically incorrect sounding given all the casualties in the middle east including US troops by those things.

    Pretty sure the Bombshell name is property of DC atm.

    The insecticons and perceptor are pretty interesting reissues. Standard prices for the original g1 versions don't sell for very much imo, would people be willing to pay more for the re-releases?

    How about Decepticon Bombshell or Insecticon Bombshell?

    I don't think that they would be able to copyright the word Bombshell otherwise it would be copyright infringement for the word to be used at all.
