Thunderwing Remolded?

Even down to the chest looks like Black Shadow.

True, but at least they are doing a retool/remold properly, as in the original Black Shadow was a retool of Thunderwing anyway. I think it will be awesome.

looking forward to this....

Wonder how many other Pretenders they plan on giving the CHUGU treatment. Bludgeon (although not technically CHUGU, still neato), Skullgrin, Thunderwing, now Black Shadow. Makes you wonder what else they have up their sleeves.

Whoever they have employed in the planning and design, they need to keep on for a long time.

2010 has been a crazy year for collecting Transformers and I'm already worried about my budget for 2011 >_<

I think we are all worried about our budgets heh. Been quite a year this year, and next year looks to be even better (or worse from the perspective of my wallet )

Certainly not Gunrunner. A CHUGUR Carnivac would be sweet as.

To be fair the ones you've listed have only had the Generations and Universe treatment (and not Classics, Henkei or Universe).

(God I hate that ever expanding acronym)

Edit: (As a testament to its growth Goktimus managed to expand it by a further letter while I was writing this)

Hey, not my fault Hasbro went and made "Reveal The Shield." IMO Hasbro should never have moved away from calling this line "Classics" to begin with. (-_-)

Well, according to the poll most folks here prefer to call CHUGUR "Classicsverse" - which was also what I voted for. I'm happy to call it "Classicsverse" (sure beats saying "Chugger" all the time)
