That's it for reissues this year: Soundwave, Blaster, Optimus, Bombshell & Ramhorn We know Wal*Mart has a 4 toy Retro capsule next year but at the moment we don't know if it's Retro Deco G1 reissues, like this year an last, or Retro boxed Modern rereleases, like the Headmasters a few years back |

It could be Retro versions of previous Retro releases. Retro retro.

Judging by the screenshots there Bombshell's colouration does seem to vary a bit the normal one you'd expect and this one, which appears more than once. You just watch, they'll do the other version in a ear or two packed with a different tape! |

I should have picked up Retro Kickback and Shrapnel when they were cheap! Maybe the other side of the next payday if they are still about.
I will need them as I will need Retro Bombshell as it comes with a tape.
Bastards.

The image you linked, it looks like he's just got grey swamp mud over the purple, but I see there are various other stills online with grey. |

It seems Bombshell is consistently gray in robot mode, while sometimes correctly colored in beast mode.
Phil chose a bad screenshot because that was the only one that showed him from the front.
The purple in it seems to be an artifact of degradation of film, rather than anything as sophisticated as "the animators covered him in mud"
If their focus is on cartoon accuracy deco, the odds of getting a correctly toy colored one are nil.

Oh long urls is a bugbear of mine and I know what to do to cut the rubbish out for many major sites. EBay and Amazon are really easy to do

I bought Optimus Prime a few months ago and have another Optimus Prime in the post. Do I need another one?

Completely forgot about that thread!
Glancing over my answers there now, there's so much that would need to be updated...

I am considering bringing it back for a brief run for the major characters for the 40th anniversary.
Extra toys hasn't got anything at the moment, and won't have till the new year.
40th Anniversary of 1984 toys finishes next Monday
So yeah. Bit of a free slot...

I'd forgotten that thread existed. It is interesting to contemplate how very different my answers would be to it now, compared to ten years ago, fifteen, or twenty.
