I get the feeling that the two figure set will sit on shelves for a while, because the characters are VERY minor!
What shelves? You're expecting this set to be sold at brick-and-mortar retail stores? It's an Amazon exclusive.

I actually may pick up that 2 pack. I don't know the characters at all, but Javelin looks great, and I've avoided all previous versions of the Kaskade mold, so at least it would be new to me. I'm always up for some new "blank slate" toys that I can use to fill in the ranks.

I know it's accurate to the IDW2 comics, but Nacelle using the Siege Seeker mold instead of the Earthrise Thrust mold really misses the whole point of why the original Nacelle toy was made in the first place.

Right. He's a fresh mashup of various Seeker design elements and makes it work. Having him as a Tetrajet kind of... makes him an easy pass I'm sad to say. I have nothing against the Siege Seeker mould but in Nacelle's case it misses what makes him... him.

NOVA PRIME!!! Err Galaxy Prime? Why the name change? It's weird, anyway. Oh saw the box he is named Nova Prime never mind, he's not perfect I wish the wings were longer but it is what it is, an official Nova Prime toy in it's white, black and gold glory.... I'm gonna need the rest of his Ark crew, darn it I only have Straxus and Jhiaxus.
He's not perfect but I've been waiting for a
Nova Prime toy since he debuted in IDW. The TFCC one was... ok for what it was but a proper Nova Prime with an inner robot and wings? Yes please.

I know a lot of people are excited about Magnus but Nova was the highlight for me.

I’m a little disappointed nobody is talking more about that SG Sideswipe / Drench / Armada Wheeljack w/ minicon. Wheeljack was a great character and gave Hot Shot some depth. His Armada toy, aside from some back kibble, is already a pretty decent toy.

And as somebody mentioned earlier, I can see this as a capsule set along with Thrust. Galvatron as the leader, Thrust as the voyager. Then Wheeljack and a couple of others as deluxes. Maybe a 6 pack of minicons? I wouldn’t be mad about a Walmart set with them.

Not just that, he's also based specifically on a Thrust prototype, as seen in this Japanese catalogue picture:

Well Powerlinx Hot Shot looks like a Capsule box, so maybe?

Powerlinx Hot Shot is a Pulse exclusive.

I may need that. I like the Powerlinx color scheme, and this one comes with more stuff.

Okay, just a quick rundown.

Yes to Powerlinx Hot Shot. Me likey Jolt, me likey new guns. Me just hope me have as much trouble getting this Pulsecon exclusive as me did with others...which was next to none. Never quite managed that Revolution set.

G2 Dead End? Yes. Laser Cycle and Cloudcover were already givens, and I am growing more and more on G2 Sideswipe and G2 Jazz. Will call the latter Sunburst, but am open to suggestions on the former.

So much yes to Tow-Line. Gimme gimme.

Yes to the Kascade/Javelin set! Probably a no on Nacelle - I am happy with the Club release! Yes to Nova Prime!

Medix is a maybe.

The Shattered Glass set is also a maybe. And while he's not relevant to this thread, I will be getting Novakane and the Exo-Suit version of Noah.

With the remolding they did for Senator Shockwave, I though for sure they would've made a Thrust remold for Nacelle if they were sticking with the Siege Seeker design.

Naked Nova Prime (that mouthplate being silver instead of black is disappointing):
