Ratbat and Rumble!
Which must mean Buzzsaw and Frenzy at some point, surely?

This brings a measure of joy to me in these difficult collecting times... as we all weep in the shadow of Haslab Unicron...

There's a new silver Aimless repaint in there with green energy blasts that Tformers have failed to notice. His positioning next to Spinister suggests it might be Singe

I did notice the silver battlemaster, but I can't really tell all the gun nebulons apart, and a growing number of the battlemaster versions are repaints that don't look anything like the original (like Caliburst). So I just didn't even bother. Boy I did not see them double dipping on the jets and battle/rescue micros. They had twelve unique micro molds available, and they reuse three. With jets that look nothing like the originals. That's massively disappointing.

I'm now petty convinced it's Sunrunner. If you look the toys out on display are the opposite mode to the ones in the box. White jet is fifth along in the top row, in robot mode, with a blue chest which is a colour that's on Sunrunner. If it were Hothouse then it'd be red/burgundy

A member short, sure, but they better match, AND they form an identical sword. They were already a Star Saber homage.

I suspect that might be coming for use 4 or 5.
They've got a long way to go to catch the Voyager jets up - 7 with power to add....

Astrotrain's base mode.... Are those connectors the same as Omeag Supreme's? They look different to Titans Return. I'm sure Shapeways will oblige with ramp adaptors. There's a better look at them when the base is in weapons cabinet mode:

Jets are actually cheaper than I expected. Cheaper than three voyagers. I predicted $100: $30x3=$90+and extra $10 because lower run exclusive

$40 for 10 Micromasters? Very reasonable!

Target exclusives also have a habit of showing up in Tescos.

Darn. We have a lack of Tescos with decent toy depts.

I'm happy to help, but I have exactly one Target to check (compared to seven walmarts), which has never had a particularly good track record with exclusives. (Probably too much competition)

Damnit, Astrotrain is looking amazing.
Like Jetskyfire I was going to pass him by, but he looks fantastic.
