TF Universe Special Editions

Ahhhhh HA! I knew it! I just knew they'd eventually do all of these! The news just hit me as a surprise though. Too bad they're online exclusives...I hate ordering online (yeah, I've got issues). Just release the darn things in the stores with normal packaging.

Pass x4

Personally, the only one I'm looking forward to is Dragstrip. Hope they will do something cool tfor the pop up engine or put one there. Would love something else that will really differentiate him from Mirage and Crasher. ^_^

Prime-mould sucks and the colours aren't that different enough from the first release.

Megs-The mould had its issues, but for some reason it looks really cool in the grey, red, and black. If I end up getting Universe Galvatron (say I hit my head that morning), I'll order him to pose side by side with Galvy.

Overkill-I like the Classics Grimlock mould, in both modes. I also like 'Con cassette bots and obscure G1 homages. So I'll have to find a way to get him (damn you HTS and your "US Only" policy).

Dragstrip-I haven't seen colour pics yet, but the mould rules and 'Con cars kick ass. Again, I have to find a way to get him....

On that note anyone in the States want to help me out? I'll pay for the figures and shipping if you make the initial order....

I kind of like these...

Anyway, you guys all bought Alternators "Dead End," right? :tflaugh

I did, but because he looked effing sweet, not because he was a failed homage to some ghey geewun character/toy.

honestly I would have had no issues if they'd called him Wildrider.

Those purple tinted windows just scream

man Dead End owned he was a freakin Evil Viper Comp Coupe and really was the toy that bad? People seem to think he is like Armada Side Swipe.

God, I'm such a sucker. Just spent $20 (with shipping and after coupon code) on Overkill, a figure that would only be $10 at retail on a card. Oh well...

Kinda funny, but we're actually getting most of the Decepticon tapes as either reissues, repaints, or new molds (though not always the same name) in just the past year or two:

Laserbeak - TRU Reissue, Booster X10, Animated Soundwave guitar

Ravage - TRU Reissue, Robot Heroes, Universe Hound pack in, Alternators

Ratbat - Target comic two-pack

Overkill - Classics Grimlock repaint

Beastbox - High Score 100

Squawktalk - Night Beat 7

Rumble - Alternators, Robot Heroes

I think that's everything not counting Energon and Cybertron, Botcon exclusives. or the Takara headphones of Rumble and Frenzy. Only Frenzy, Buzzsaw, and Slugfest seem to be getting neglected (unless you believe in RiBFiR).
