Saw this yesterdaywhile I was looking to see if they had site to store shipping(bastards), cause I need to replace my Megatron vs FB Jazz set(double bastards).

 

Didn't mention it since it isn't up for grabs yet.

 

Still no word on what the redeco will look like huh?

[Datastream]

There's going to be a redeco?

[Liege Evilmus]

at this point a redeco is kind of a given on any fig.

 

I'm hoping for a Darkwind/Dreadwing homage. It's about the only way I'd go for these. Imay have to wait till after the movie though.

I think I'm about the only person ever looking forward to these guys. But the twin jet concept just seems cool to me. Besides, Classics gave me my old school Jetfire/Skyfire homage, so I'm happy with the character going another direction.

[Liege Evilmus]

I here ya, but for me Classics was a nice nail in the coffin as AEC pretty much did everything possible with the name.

 

I know Jetfire is returning in TF2, but if he combines with Prime as I think he will in toy form, he'll be another Wing Saber on my shelves.

 

Concerning this set, Animated is just whoring a name. Hence I'm waiting for the inevitable Decepticon repaint.

Whoring a name? I think that's a little harsh. It's just one of those "familiar name for a new character" scenarios that's been around forever. I mean, Animated Prowl is in no way connected to or an homage of G1 Prowl, but that's not whoring a name, right?

I think the issue here is that while Animated Prowl has as much to do with G1 Prowl as animated Jetfire has to do with his G1 counterpart, Prowl's actually pretty cool looking. Jetfire has that G1 "who cares it's close enough" feel to it that really doesn't stand up when compared to the rest of the line's near perfect show accuracy.

Sadly, 'whoring' the name is how they are able to keep the name. If they don't use it after X years, they lose the rights to it and it goes back in the pool.

Yep, Just like Hot R- err... Rodimus.
