I found FOC Thunder cracker and Bumblebee at Wal-Mart yesterday. TC is pretty cool. I picked up the Takara versions of Starscream and Skywarp so my trio is complete.

soundwave,
Unless they fudge the scale of the alt modes and just keep the robot modes in scale I can't see a way round it.

Blitzwing's jet mode will have to be roughly the same size as MP11, that bit isn't the issue, it's where the tank bits go and whether they can be hidden enough to keep a nice, clean looking G1 robot mode and not restrict any of the poseability.

Octane is a nervous breakdown for any designer who tries to make the scale work

Prowl's coin is looking good, I'm not sure if I'll get it with my order from Anime Export but I'll pick one up from ebay if I don't.

I'll get Soundblaster eventually as I would like Ratbat but pre-ordering a couple of G2 Sideswipes will take priority.

Rock83,
I think Sunstreaker will be the next one.

Some fans will complain about all the repaints but the funds raised will inevitably help get the characters with less potential for mold reuse into production.

Only one that matters along with Sidey. All the rest are just a bonus.
Give me my Sunny Takara!!!

I just came across the redone Waspinator and Rhinox on BBTS. Are they redoing more than just those two?

 

[Solid_Slug]

Soundblaster is kind of cool, but having already two soundwave, I think I'll pass. Should I known this few months ago, I might have passed that second SW and pre-ordered this one. So why I have two? ...because it is awesome figure ? But enough is enough. Even though Ratbat would be cool.

Honestly the only scale I care about is robot mode scale. The rest is too much of a headache to care about, so I'd rather have them look right together in a group.

They redid Dinobot and Cheetor about 1-2 years ago as part of the Universe/Henkei line. Dinobot turned out epic and Cheetor was crap. Now that they've done 4 it's a good chance they'll redo the others. I'm hoping for Rattrap, Airazor, Terrorsaur and Scorponok next. Takara hinted at the possibility of a MP Optimus Primal, so if that ever happens MP Megatron isn't too far behind. Typing this makes me very happy

I honestly want an MP-11 Skywarp before we get Sunstreaker.

Skywarp is another one that deserves the new mold.Why Sunstorm and Acid Storm was preferred before skywarp is beyond me.Takara have done plenty MP-12 repaints too,so i dont see why either company shouldn't give Skywarp the same treatment.

 

[Sirtank]

I hate to want a 4th figure of the MP Sideswipe mold, but the G2 version looks perfect. I was a big fan of the original figure and his appearance in the comic, so I won't be able to pass him up. I kind of wish I didn't buy Tiger Track now.

I'm sure it'll happen eventually. I can understand the MP-12 repaints simply because they actually got the license and want to milk it for all its worth. Sunstorm I could care less about, but I think he was at least a better choice than Acid Storm. Acid Storm really should have been Skywarp if you ask me, and Hasbro really missed the boat on that one.

Anyway for those of you that collect the Prime figures did anyone pick up Unicron? I've been thinking about it, but not sure as I think is pretty small.

 

[Black_Dragon003]

Stay away from the Unicron bro its a POS I paid out the big bucks for it over at robotkingdom.com on preorder when I got it was so excited but it was a HUGE EPIC let down. the stickers peeled off after about a month. left sticky residue on the figure very loose limbs and just honestly it looks like a pos when standing next to the others. Hes roughly about the same size at the PRID voyager class prime. And it sucks his alt mode is dumb and his combo mode with prime or megs just don't work right.

Im being honest and trying to save you money that unicron was a big waste of money and I didn't even get back what I paid for it on ebay. total loss for me. Stay clear from it.

Appreciate the response! Yeah the alt mode is dumb, but I was more concerned about the bot mode. The fact that its the same size as a voyager makes it big NO to start with.

 

[karamazov80]

That G2 Sideswipe looks pretty fantastic in car mode. I had a Micromachines Black Lamborghini that I loved as a kid.

Might look better with Cyberverse scale?

I don't collect them myself, but some of them do look quite good.

Shame how Takara f'ed up the PRiD line...
