Hey all, i just realized the unintentional innuendo in the title of this post. Whoops.
anyway. so aapparently the challenege at cybertron set is not getting a US release as was exclusive to the Asisan market and the people who went to Auto Assembly who got it. honestly, i'm not too broken up about this, while the Cyclonus re-color is very nice (and i could use a toy representation of "and his armada") the Hot rod recoloring doesnt grab me and the Galvatron re-deco is nice, but the toy is crap. The stuff of more interest in the first link are the rumored two-packs comign to a walmart near you soon:
Movie line Voyager Starscream and deluxe Mudflap. The second which we've suspected for a while contains Movie line voyager Ironhide and deluxe Bonecrusher. Rumors hold this second two pack is made of the unknown blue version ("offroad") of Recon Ironhide and a battle-damaged 2007 movieline Bonecrusher. Once again i have a feeling of "meh" Voyager starscrem from the movieverse has never done it for me, and they are contiually milking Mudflap to death. Doesnt hasbro know few people like that toy to begin with?!?!?!?!?!?! I'm not enthused about the "battle damaged" bonecrusher. 1) he's a charcater who's been dead since the 2007 movie in that continuity and 2) battle Damage is an overused repaint gimmick. the repainted recon Ironhide seems ok.......
And now to CrazyDevy's Master Commander Power parts! so the third party compnay who's been releasing bits and pieces to updtae your g1 devastator and Superion, has now upgraded a already issued 3rd party item (the TAW god sword) and upped the price significantly. the God sword already got mixed reviews when it came out, so i think i'll pass, even if ti looks awesome. What crazyDevy needs to do, is get a hold of that Battle Rollar figure and re-release him!
