By the "Optimus Prime" and the logos on the back I assume these are Hasbro releases.
The solicitations on the boxes are interesting.. -------------------- I may be lying

If they are real, I'd buy them. odd that it's 3 Decepticons and an Autobot, and wasn't Overkill a Botcon customizing figure exclusive?

QUOTE odd that it's 3 Decepticons and an Autobot Huh. I think its more 'good' than 'odd' since the Decepticons are usually out-numbered by Autobots. I kinda hope these aren't the only four that will ever be produced - although the paint jobs of Optimus Prime and Megatron don't look that special, I am a fan of long forgotten characters being given new toys even if they are just repaints of someone else. QUOTE(Asquian @ Sep 22 2008, 10:18 AM)  Is is just me, or is hasbro even more repaint happy than ever? well, they have to support Animated, Universe and the upcoming Movie - obviously they have to make up the numbers of Universe with repaints since they won't be able to - and shouldn't be expected to - give Universe the same amount of attention that they are giving the other two lines even with the 25th anniversary coming up.

Drag Strip, eh? Hasbro's answer to Takara's recent Wildrider recolor?
And if these are upcoming Club exclusives, how soon should we be seeing pre-orders up for these? I mean, the Seacons and Nightbeat just got put up not long ago, right? So... something is up here... and I want to know what! -Lio Kaiser. --------------------  |

Those Decepticons are mine!
That is, if they're released some where I can find them. |

 ...Who the SLAG do you think I am!?! Group: Citizen Posts: 917 Joined: 23-June 05 From: Wherever I am Member No.: 6,724 Faction: Autobot |
Whoa, those are some really stylish boxes. Kinda like the Masterpiece boxes, eh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif)
Prime's got a more G1 deco (as usual (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-waspy.gif) ), while Megatron...... seems to be clashing with himself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-wildride.gif) The colors on him look pretty jumbled up, particularly the red apps on his arms.

Overkill? Really?
The one the Club had as the Mod class figure in '07? Heck, maybe we will be getting a Classics Thundercracker at retail. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif) --------------------  |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif) I don't see what the big deal about Overkill is - this Overkill will be a proper repaint unlike Botcon Overkill which was just grey like Grimlock IIRC. And a retail Classics Thundercracker will most likely be a repaint of Cybertron deluxe Thundercracker in G1 Thundercracker colors (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif) -------------------- |

On topic - it makes me wonder if the Classics Starscream repaint we saw will be released as a Special Edition like these.

QUOTE I don't see what the big deal about Overkill is - this Overkill will be a proper repaint unlike Botcon Overkill which was just grey like Grimlock IIRC. So we could get a Thundercracker that is a "proper anime repaint unlike the Botcon Thundercracker which was just navy blue like the toy." I mean this is pretty neat, it's beyond the whole "Crosshairs/Fallback" thing and is actually a former rare exclusive we're (presumably) getting through retail channels with the same name and everything.

Could this be the 'vintage' line?
Would explain the rather deluxe packaging, and character choices. |

I've been thinking about making a custom Drag Strip but I'm too lazy. I hope this is an official release & he's easy to get. It'll save me the hassle of making a custom. |
