Crap, I'm gonna need a Ramjet.

Indeed. For no other reason than that the colours will go beautifully with the Shattered Glass Prime/Ratchet duo.

So that's two reuses for Ramjet's remouldings but none yet for Thrust or Dirge...

It's not G2 accurate, but I do wish they'd used Dirge for Sandstorm.
I mean honestly it's no more accurate or inaccurate than Ramjet since the "original" never got past being a hand painted prototype

Transmutate is interesting - since the Selects line is mold reuses, I wonder who they're going to be a re-use of? It could just be an unimaginative repaint of one of the cars, for no reason other than that's what they've got to work with. But i do wonder if maybe they'll do something interesting and make Transmutate out of a mis-mash of Weaponiser or Fossiliser parts - or maybe both? Of course, a mix of both of those things wouldn't give the figure anything interestign to transform into, so maybe it could be enough parts to build almost two figures, so we get two alt-modes, and also finally end up with the Transformers equivalent of Modulok..?

The popular theory is she's a Paleotrex retool |

TBF, I'm still waiting on Sandstorm and the Streaker two-pack.
I've seen a couple of social media posts from folks who got them, but has anyone here had them yet?

I've got Sandstorm. IDToys got some and sent them to those who'd preordered and paid in full.
Don't think anyone UK has the Lambo 2 pack yet

Which is why I think Sandstorm should have used Dirge.
And maybe mix it up further by using the Starscream head and nosecone.

I know Nacelle is based off that original Takara picture/art that has Thrust in those colours, but they look awful to me. Not sure I'd buy that.

You can just imagine the baying mobs if they used the wrong mould though.
Anyway, enough of these exciting and appealingly obscure recolours. Where are Sun and Acidstorm? There must be at least a Sunstorm from the Earthrise mould.

Woah. Surely more of those are coming. Sandstorm alone would be a crying shame. That Starscream looks fab.

Id release Jungle Attack Starscream as G2 Acidstorm as it looks a bit like a reverse coloured Acidstorm, but mostly because it would give me the character and unreleased deco and save me £25.

Which is why I think Sandstorm should have used Dirge. And maybe mix it up further by using the Starscream head and nosecone. They may use Dirge for Naval. As Ralph has just suggested, Naval is possibly less well known than Sandstorm so less likely to annoy fans if they use Dirge. I'm not sure they'll do any more than Sandstorm. Sandstorm, Ramjet, and Starscream make a nice trio, and Hasbro and the fans generally like trios. |

I think it's just the standard Strike Plane wing, only not flipped and swung back.
