I like Cloudcover, but I think I'll skip the rest.
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. I've been advocating for that Ramjet redeco forever. They all look great.
If they are Getable I want all of them except maybe Toxitron.
-ZacWilliam, just gorgeous.

Those are hideous.
Hasbro understood the assignment well. Bonus points to the Kirby energy balls they got going on.
About the only one that trips my trigger is Cloudcover. He looks wonderful. None of them click with me enough to fit them in the budget, but look nice in a garish way.

Dude, Jazz get extra guns/shoulder cannon! And Grimlock, glad I didn't drop coin on that TFCon LA 2023 exclusive.
Will we get more Deluxes? A whole case of Jazzs would be wasteful.
While I will get these, I am still hpoing for figures of G2 toys we actually got. Blue Grimlock, One-Note Jazz ('cause screws ToyHax), etc.

Easy passes for me, thou I am a little curious about Grimlock outside of packing, there's no photo of him, thou I have a feeling that these might be shelfwarmers
So good odds these will go up for sale for Walmart con Thursday at 10am EST then...
Might go for Toxitron if I ever actually see it in stores, but the way Walmart distributes their exclusives, I'm not gonna hold my breath on it.
I wonder what the odds are of Japan doing a webcomic for these guys like they did the Velocitron figures.
That story was the best most-fun part of that sub-line. Especially since Hasbro isn't giving toy lines even minimal fiction set-ups anymore.
-ZacWilliam, I want to learn about the universe where everyone is eye-searingly bright.

I'm still kind bummed that Japan never made another webcomic for the Wave 2 Velocitron toys (if they were ever even released in Japan, that is).
So how has it been over a decade with the brand cross selling with Viacom with the films and now Earthspark, and no one thought to do a Nick themed Toxitron?! It's so perfect! He's a Slime/Gak carrier! Just the box art of this makes me think it would have been awesome.
Yeah, I think I'm all in on these. I'll need to come up with new names for G2 Jazz and Grimlock, but I can manage that. 8^)
Glad to see Toxitron. I couldn't figure out a niche in my collection/world for either of the previous versions of the mold, but kept hearing good things about them, so I'm happy that I can use this one. 8^)

JTPrime found some listings for a second assortment of deluxe figures due in this G2 mini-line:
Mirage
Sideswipe
Deadend
Shadowstrip (package refresh).

...so, was there a G2 Mirage in the works, or could this release be in Diaclone colors?
Cloudcover looks great and I'm tempted, especially to pair with G2 Sandstorm.
Toxitron and Grimlock also look great, but since I already have those molds I'm not sure I'll take the plunge. Be interested to see the G2 Grimlock for real, though.
That Jazz though... why? I've never figured that almost all-orange pic was meant as an actual finished concept, it seems to me like it's more likely it was intended to show off the design (with the triangle deco) but figure out the color scheme later.
EDIT: Looking at the unreleased Mirage and Sideswipe ones below, it does fit with those, so I'm likely wrong on this.

There was an unreleased G2 Mirage in watermelon-candy-esque green and pink that this is almost definitely going to be based on.
There was also an actual G2 Mirage that was Go-Bots Double Clutch/Spychanger Mirage in black and yellow, but apparently G2 toys that didn't exist are a higher priority these days than the ones that did.
Hmm. Well, that's my interest killed. But what about Sideswipe? Haven't we already gotten him in G2 colors with Siege, or did they have another color scheme planned for him?
