That's a lot of "ruling" the road there. With a theme like that they need a Motormaster homage!

 

Hasbro seems to think rub symbols are buttons which "reveal" their faction. Also, they removed most all of the other faction symbols on toys that have them to keep their alligiance a "secret", so people won't know that Bumblebee is an Autobot evedently! As gimmicks go it's pretty lame. Rub symbols are supposed to be there to prove they are a "real" Transformer, not a KO. I actually have KO Technobot toys with fake rub symbols which are just black square stickers with no temperature sensitive material in them, they don't change!

 

BTW - Heavy Tread is pre-Beast Wars Rhinox!

I just want to find Strafe on the shelf! Release him already!!

 

I agree. I passed on Mindwipe for some stupid reason but bought Skystalker. :doh

 

So i went out and bought Sunspot. Which is an amazing repaint of this great mold. I hope they make more repaints of that mold and really step out of the box on the colors they choose. I'm a big fan of wild color schemes. So i' really would like to combine Strafe with Sunspot. The two together would be neat. I know they're diffierent factions but i don't really care.

I have Mindwipe, and SkyStalker, then I went and bought Dreadwing and Smokescreen from the Tokyo Toy Fair. Will be buying Sunspot and the other Scouts later from HTS since they are the only one still saying they are $8.

I need Strafe to round out the mold, and he is the best looking out of all 3 in my opinion

I'm liking the 2 PCC figures I see. Wreck-Gar, Perceptor, Grapple, Optimus, and Bumblebee if I find them will be bought.

 

I hope I can find that 2 pack Battle in space....anyone know if it is an exclusive [ TRU / Target / Walmart ] or just a regular release.
