Hrrmmm. We already got a pretty nice Scourge in Titans Return… I’d much rather see a Studio Galvatron.
Not enough G1 in the TR version. It’s good, but the SS86 version is the one to get if you don’t have it.
and Studio Galvatron will happen. He’s on the ER packaging and is in the Kingdom promo artwork.
Spotted the Earthrise Thundercracker & Skywarp at a Target today! Suk it, scalpers!
Pre ordered a gigawatt and jetfire (at last back in the UK) for my son and me.

JAZZ???
fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Jazz! yay! Pass on Hotrod though. Too small/short, that he can only strictly function as Hot Rod. and not Rodimus.
And that Gigawatt looks cool but, i’m not about to pay the scalper prices for him. Forget it.

I dunno. I’m pretty happy with Titans return Blurr and Kup. But Scourge, Jazz, and Grimmy i want. I think it’s a great idea for the movie series, which was pretty much the “Bayformers” line prior, to do the 86’ movie.
Maybe we’ll get another Unicron? Even though the Armada-cron mold was already nailing it.

He looks great but too damned small/short to also function as a Rodimus.
Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime is one of my all-time favorite characters but, i always want a figure representation to function as Rodimus first and foremost, and as a Hot Rod, second. This lil’guy can only be Hot Rod.
Earthrise Barricade and Punch/Counterpunch, 2-pack, announced! Well damn, Hasbro’s re-release ruthlessness continues. So all (4) Datsun bros have been redone, back-to-back, within like 5-6 months of eachother. Although i missed out on Titans Return Punch/Counterpunch, and aftermarket prices for him are kinda high now. Nice to have a cheaper option…then again, i don’t want Barricade. Crap.
Also recently found Arcee, Smokescreen, G1 Blaster reissue, Bluestreak (Wal-greens), and Allicon at Retail. I got Arcee, G1 Blaster, and Bluestreak but, left Smokescreen and Allicon. I appreciate them being made but, G1 was mostly about Prowl & Bluestreak and Smokescreen was like “the OTHER datsun bro”. As for Allicon…he looks neat as hell but… i dunno if he’s worth $20. He’d go good with POTP Sharkticon at least.
They got more pre orders for the Quintesson set got mine already.

Just spotted Earthrise Smokescreen at a Target today and…HOLY SHIIIATE! He looked good in the pictures but, seeing him in person? He is a LOT BETTER looking than the Siege version. Siege Smokescreen looks like a prototype/concept piece that didn’t make the cut, next to the Earthrise release. There’s just no comparison.
But then again…this was all apart of Hasbro’s devious plans…
Edit: Oops. I forgot, this was the 2nd time I’ve seen him. First instance I’d already made up my mind not to get him, so i paid no attention. This time i actually took a good look at the figure.
I got Tigertrack this week and man my Henkei Sideswipe is bigger I was surprised by that.
