    No enigma, but adds two sets of weapons for Grimlock

    The Magma Blades look like the swords that came with Fall Of Cybertron Grimlock (x 2)

    So it's a cartoon accurate repaint. Given the upcoming 86 movie SS figures I'm not sure that I should invest in repaints of of the POTP toys.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    It looks like the colours are overall more vibrant and matched more closely to the cartoon rather than the toys.

    And there are a couple of extra weapons to fill out the chest and interact with new feet. It also looks to reuse the fists developed for the Seacons.

    It's basically another Unite Warriors box set but without the nice box (one assumes)!

    Or perhaps the 86 Movie Studio Series figures will just be these figures, it's just that Hasbro isn't selling them as a box set?

    The 2 SS Dinobots we know of so far are Leaders.

    Wow they look absolutely fantastic. I'm guessing this is what Takara had lined up from the beginning, before Hasbro put a stop to their separate releases at the start of PotP. I am however wary with the release of this, as Studio Series may be just around the corner. I'll wait for a look at those (or at least one of them), I don't think this is going to be flying off the shelves anyway.

    Good point! I wasn't really interested in these, but now I'm definitely not.
    Looking to buy lucky draw Armada Prime and Diaclone Marlboor Wheeljack.
