I can do without the shiny paint on Skyfire/Jetfire...

 

Sky-Byte is a nice surprise...

[JoeRhyno]

Me likey.

[Crow T Decepticon]

Haha, we're getting a new Sky Byte.

[Wheeljack35]

Well the movie figures are crappy as usual.This gives me more money torwards getting other figures

 

I thought we were getting Arcee and Chromia?

[Crow T Decepticon]

Voyager Sky Byte

 

 

 

 

Voyager Roadbuster

 

 

 

Windblade's alt mode (And Rattrap's cute little head)

 

[DPrime]

I'm not really into Classics that much anymore but it's nice to see the line is alive and well. I think the only one I'll be getting here is Rattrap. Whirl is a bit tempting, too...

 

The MP Grimlock reissue looks a bit sick (not in the good way).

 

Wish there was a bit more G1 flavour in the Kreo sets, too. I realize they are movie sets, but I would have preferred sets like they did in the first wave: build the movie set, but the Kreons were G1.

[featofstrength]

hmmm...looks like ive only got Gears to look forward to

[Agent Adam]

Nice to know that hasbro.com leak from months ago was accurate. Downside is nothing really surprising at Toyfare, heh.

[Wheeljack35]

What happened to Arcee?

[Nguyen_Dragon]

What happened to Arcee?

 

Hasbro is probably saving her for SDCC...

[Wheeljack35]

I still don't know why after all these years they refer to Skyfire as Jetfire.He really should be Skyfire

[jedimaster-c]

Yeah, I understand why they changed the design of the character in the cartoon(Harmony Gold)but never understood why they used Jetfire instead of Skyfire.

[Agent Adam]

They already have the name Jetfire, so there's no reason to spend the cash to secure Skyfire.

 

Arcee is likely to hit in the second half of the year so we'll see her and Chromia at Botcon or SDCC unless it leaks early like Jetfire.
