Hmm... I am after those. Is there a link to both sets together? We could split on delivery Llama?

Why is he called Frenzy there, and not Rumble?!
I got that double set in the last week's of 2019. Sure he was called Rumble. Thrown the packaging away now. The Battle Patrol were snaffled by the youngest.

It is Rumble.
It's either a mistake, taking the p!$$ or they're a fervent believer in RIBFIR. Which is wrong.

I swear to god, if that megatron is purple or grey... But yeah. Huge grain of salt. G2 Megatron in this hasbro culture seems too good to be true. A ton of things on that list are all very obvious (like hubcap and rotorstorm), and... Clone set???

Weird. Seeker 2 pack means Shockprowl's one step closer to his Siege Skywarp but that'll be an exclusive somewhere. Voyager Thrust presses all my buttons as he was the first jet I had as a kid.
But Exhaust as a retail release? Selects surely. Hothouse as a Selects makes no sense either if they're trying to push the base/connection gimmick at retail. Hubcap and Rotorstorm are obvious repaints but what the heck are those last two?

G2 Megatron makes sense to differentiate it from the last one. The Prime is almost the same, but the trailer is the selling point there. Another grey tank Megatron, presumably this one will have reused/remoulded parts like Prime, would be almost like a reissue. It needs a USP and Hasbro must know the fans are asking for a green one.
I love Siege Megs. He's one I don't really see the need to change, but a green one would make a nice alternative.
I was also thinking that Wheeljack looks cool, but then realised the in-hand one we've seen doesn't have those big wings.

Okay, like... Here's something weird.
I've made no secret that I've been a bit put off by Gen Select Hotshot. I mean, I liked the toy on it's own? It's a pretty deco, very nice headsculpt, and in general a nice mold and redeco. But it never looked anything like the toy/character it was homaging, in a time where almost every g1 character is getting exact, near perfect updates. Even absolute nobodies like Apeface, and Spinister. So while it's a lovely toy on it's own, the two original Cybertron Hotshots do the job of being Hotshot better.
I just got the reprolabel set for him, and something really clicked. This set adds a flame pattern that, even though no version of Hotshot ever had one, just really makes him actually feel like a new version of Hotshot.
While I've had sets that really improved a toy, this is the first time that it's really made the intended character actually work for me.

I think for the sake of completion I'd rather have seen Buzzsaw instead of Wingthing, but obviously the double use of the two moulds is going to push the price up enough to cover the cost of the new heads on the Powermasters.
Nice set. The sense of filling out the corners to complete other figures is welcome.

Oh yes. Shockprowl must buy this set to get the one of the four figures he actually wants.
Heh heh heh.

I love that set, it's a really cute idea. In fact probably the only exciting thing that came from two hours of watching that live feed. I must have it as recompense for my self-inflicted suffering...
