Back to Prime and GF. Here's hoping they will not recolor every new mold. I haven't done the research but I *think* Energon has had fewer repaints/remolds than Armada. If true, maybe this is a sign of things to come :thumb

OK, I'll quickly list repaints/remolds done during the initial run of the line (and not Universe, exclusives or repainted in the next line). [i've probably left some out.]

 

Energon

Strongarm - Energon Strongarm

Signal Flare - Offshoot

Battle Ravage - Command Ravage

Cruelock - Doomlock

Hot Shot - Energon Hot Shot

Inferno - Roadblock

Starscream - Energon Starscream

Ironhide - Energon Ironhide

Mirage - Dreadwing

Cliffjumper - Beachcomber

Shockblast - Sixshot

Jetfire - uhh, forgot the recolors name

Landmine - Landquake

Bulkhead - Quickstrike

Megatron - Galvatron

Omega Supreme - Omega Sentinel

 

plus, the six combiner limbs which are recolors

 

22 molds recolored: 10 basics, 3 deluxes, 5 megas, 2 ultras, 1 super and 1 supreme

 

 

Armada

Minicon Race Team - Road Assault Team

Minicon Destruction Team - Road Wrecker Team

Minicon Air Defense Team - Air Assault Team

Minicon Land Military Team - Night Attack Team

Minicon Sea Team - (recolored) Sea Team

Minicon Emergency Team - (recolored) Emergency Team

(I'm not going to count the 10,000 Japanese Minicon variants)

Hot Shot - Powerlinx Hot Shot

Cyclonus - Powerlinx Cyclonus

Demolisher - Powerlinx Demolisher

Thrust - Powerlinx Thrust

Bendy Prime - Nemesis Prime

Red alert - Powerlinx Red alert

Starscream - Thundercracker and Skywarp

Jetfire - Powerlinx Jetfire

Megatron - Galvatron

Optimus Prime - Powerlinx Optimus Prime

 

16 molds recolored: 6 basics, 5 deluxes, 2 megas, 2 ultras and 1 super

 

So Armada had fewer repaints overall than Energon. However, there were more new molds in Energon that haven't been repainted - unlike Aramda, where nearly every original mold was repainted during the initial run.

I'm proly the last person to say on this thread.

 

"That's freaking sweet!"

Wow, thanks for the leg work. I guess I was wrong.

 

I wonder where to put Tidalwave, Ultra Magnus, Unicron, the Minicons, the new Cyclonus and Demolishor, and Rapid Run on the list. Would they be an Armada recolor cross-over or Energon repaints?

Does it transform into something cause I see treads on the back of the legs?

 

What toy line is this from and how expensive are they?

It's Max-Factory's Genesic GaoGaiGar, from King of Braves- Gao Gai Gar (a VERY excellent giant robot anime). The main part transforms into a lion, the legs into tank/mole crossovers, the arms into sharks and the backpack into some kind of wyvern. But it's a limited edition, and last I checked a preorder listed it at $600,-...But it's a BIG bugger though, a bit bigger then MP-OP if I'm correct.

 

And back on topic. I was first saving up for U-Nemesis, AT Grimlock and SL Galvatron-G, but f**k them! As soon as he comes available at my importshop, he's MINE! :thumb

I couldn't decide how to classify them either, which is why I left them out. Plus there was that wave of BW figures that made it into Armada - so I figured it would more-or-less even out these cross-overs anyway.

Ahh man I really dont have room for this guy.

*sigh*

Guess this means the posters are coming down, and more shelves are going up.

so where can i find one??

so where can i find one??

Japan or your favorite on-line store.

 

He won't be released in the US unti this summer, I'm guessing it will probably be a little closer to fall since SW toys will be taking up 90% of the shelf space this summer.

Love it, and must have it. :thumb Going to wait for spring/summer to buy him though. With Energon releasing three major Gestalts I want to buy those first before anything, and since most of em don't look much larger then the Omnicons, I can't see them putting too large a hole in my wallet. I have most of the Enegon series with the exceptions of repaints, Tidle Wave, SlugSlinger, and I'm having a hell of a time finding Wing Saber. Hopefully I'll find it sometime this year, or Energon Prime will continue to look like a mismatched Power Ranger. :roll

I'll wait, but those pics do really make it difficult. This line may end up being one of the best ever. One can hope anyway.
