True, but the first one was never available from a UK seller which is why I don't have it. -Ralph |

Based on two sets, here's what I think are the trends. • Bumblebee vs three bad guys. • Two beast wars, two "g1" (by this I mean "normal" styled tf over g1 specifically) • One Bumblebee (car Bumblebee, Goldbug) • One toy based deco (Blackarachnia, Scorponok) • One wildcard* (Nemesis Primal, Skywasp) • One Decepticon (Fangry, Ransack) *This could also be interpreted as One Black Repaint So, given Tarantulas has yet to pop up again even in rumors, Tarantulas is a strong contender for Toy Based deco. We're about out of ways to milk Bumblebees out of ER/Netflix mold. So G2 Bumblebee is also a strong contender. Contenders for the other BW- • Nemesis Rhinox (evil Rhinox deco) • Antagony from Inferno • TM Tigatron/SG Ravage/BW Glit from Agent Ravage • Lazorbeak/Hydra from Terrorsaur There's a decent possibility that a G2 stunticon turns up in the decepticon slot. Which would be quite an evil thing to do. Override GT or Dark Nitro Convoy/Nemesis Override is possible in the decepticon slot, too. Some good options there - and I wouldn't be surprised if Dark Nitro Convoy makes it into the set myself. I'm also wondering if we might get a Beast Machines Silverbolt from Airazor in this one - it could kind of work, and would be the thing that would make this set a "must get" for me. Although what I am fully expecting is for this set to be the only place that we'll be able to get Studio Series '86 Ratchet. Because why not? |

We already know 86 Ratchet is a stand alone release, Hasbro product code # F7243

I enjoy the idea of all the G2 stunticons showing up in random boxsets

We already know 86 Ratchet is a stand alone release, Hasbro product code # F7243 Well that's nonsense - people'll actually be able to get hold of it. Why would Hasbro want that to happen? Maybe it'll be the Marvel Comics Universe Colours version in the box set instead... |

Ah, but it could be an *exclusive* stand-alone release...
I'm pretty happy with Siege Ratchet though. I just hope it hasn't gone yellow in the cupboard.

Towline is probably unfortunately a Scraphook repaint. Which sucks because it looks nothing like him, and a new mold could get a looooot of use. There is a possibility that Towline is a minor retool of one of the Ironhides, though. |

Seems odd they've used the Takara name for this colour scheme. Are they keeping Tow-line for an Energon release, or do they just think Wrecker Hook sounds better?

Well either way he's going to have to be purchased. The extensive modern updates of RID toys collection requires him.

I'd have rather Hoist. Better mold that looks more like him.

Okay then, that's two molds that could be repurposed as Machine Wars characters. Come on, Mark, you can do this..!

So if this is Tow-Line what are the other Junkions going to be?
The Lockdown looking car which isn't Lockdown as he's not a Junkion will be Lockdown
Crashbar - Animated Oil Slick?

That is surprisingly good. I could be tempted by that I'll admit. I'd have to be careful whom else was out on the shelves mind you. After all, No Parking means No Parking! Karl |

There's no indication (yet) these are under the Buzzworthy banner.

I finally gave up waiting to see if they will appear in the UK so I have bit the bullet and ordered a BB Worlds Collide set from Australia as I am collecting all the BW remakes.
Hundreds of them will now suddenly appear in Game for £20. You're welcome.
I rarely import due to CUTA fear, hence why I waited this long!

Teabagged! Got round to taking the Bumblebee out of the Worlds Collide pack. It is missing a wheel. Considering the difficulty/price of getting a set my face is now very sad.  -Ralph |
