Doh bollocks. If all three are coming out then I'll have to buy them now.
Can't resist a set. Where's the first one again? It's in a set with something else isn't it.

Let's hope Takara do a three pack.

Rather odd they're not a 3 pack anyway, link between the characters and the moulds

Given their positioning with the Select toys, it looks likely that they might be Select too.

I don't even really want the individual releases of the other two, let alone a completely clear version of Mirage. I'd have skipped the set during the exclusive apocalypse and gone for shackwave instead, if he wasn't in it.

Just Hot Shot from Hound to go! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaimChocReports/posts/940749479608813No source is given for this but ... Deluxe Cybertron Hot Shot - assumed since the head was spotted on Hound's package G1 Toy color special package Refractor - rumoured since a diagram of a combined mode Refractor with extra pieces was shown New Micromaster 10-pack - we have a Hasbro product code for this. So the new items are: + Deluxe Nightbird , repaint of Chromia , with accurate new Headsculpt. Likely Tranformser Generations Selects. + Deluxe Powerdashers - repaints of Cog, Sixgun & Brunt, with accurate new headsculpts. + Deluxe Decepticon Impactor - features different paint deco. + Leader Shockwave in Galacticman Deco, full black Shockwave. Impactor was originally advertised as a Decepticon so I could believe that ....

It looks pretty good, but I'm bored of 'Standard Girl Mold' now.

Oh Damn it to hell. How much is Nightbird likely to be? Shockprowl Girls' favorite.

It's a Select Deluxe, so £20.

So this one has lost the kibble off the back of the last one, but gained it round the calves.
Hmm. Not sure I can work out which I prefer.
Edit: no, this is Chromia isn't it, so it has back kibble too. You just can't see it there.

Gotta love strong calves.... and and and THIGHS....
Nice head/face sculpt.
Thanks, Pins, this one may just be on the list. The kids'll love her.

Course the other thing is if Takara do do a Powerdasher three pack, the import shops here will actually need to stock it and they've stopped doing Takara since the figures became identical.

It looks pretty good, but I'm bored of 'Standard Girl Mold' now. *nerdily shoves glasses up nose* Technically this is "standard girl mold #2," which is an almost entirely different mold from "Standard Girl Mold." Only the second outing of it, too.

You do indeed make a valid point. However, it looks so much like the other "standard girl mold" that it's massively uninteresting, at least to me. Not that it was anyway - I've still not seen most of the G1 cartoon, save for the videotapes I had as a kid, so I don't have the same fascination with her (and indeed most other non-toy, one-episode characters) that others have. Not that I'm complaining, mind you - there's plenty of non-toy, one-issue Marvel G1 characters that I'd go crazy over (where's my Big Red?!?), but this one isn't for me. Glad it exists for others that want, though. Much as I wish it was a different mold.
*That* said, someone did point out on Twitter that due to the rushed and... inexpensive... nature of a lot of the G1 cartoon, the actual character models used on the show for one-off characters - especially the female ones - are pretty similar anyway, so this is fairly accurate.
Now, does anyone have any pliers so we can help Toph get his glasses back..?

'Enter the Nightbird' is (for me) a rather forgettable episode other than some unusually nice animation florishes at times.
Can't say this appeals ro be much. Looks ugly. I'd rather get crazy colour Lancer!

I'd rather have that mold as Sideburn, Shadowstriker, and Roulette.

There are some weird choices in this line that should make me happier but don't.
I can think of at least a half dozen better uses for that mold.
But I feel guilty for not being happier because I should be grateful for any scrap of non-g1 that Warden decides to grace us with.
