They were thinking "These colour scheme and designs are awesome" and you know what. They were right.

Streetwise looks pretty uninspiring.
I always hoped at some point for a Prowl redone as Barricade (from the Transformers film).

That was a trick on Botcon's part to catch out the people who'd been changing the names to get to hidden files. Still, he has a certain something... |

It seems to have been Spark, but nobody seems to remember that been the case. TFU doesn't even have a spark listed, but I currently have 2 g2 boxes and both are Spark and I haven't seen any that say differently. Its possible that UK (or Europe) G2 kept the Pyro name or that there was some switch somewhere along the line.

Looks like Clench will be an Onslaught repaint now.

The drawing with the new head on the poster looks good - but with the fake Tankor repaint - could this be Sky Byte?
why we don't see the plane mode - shark painted on front of plane?

Awesome.
Disappointed it isn't the Cybertron mold though, that one is far far superior.

Would have liked the C Downshift too, but I don't own E Downshift so I'll give it a shot before complaining too much. Besides the horid Thunderclash repaint the Rodimus mould has somewhat grown on me and Inferno was a pleasant surprise. Unspectacular, but a solid generic type Transformer.
Nightbeat and Prime were pretty bad though.
Its also been pointed out that the toy has a moulded Autobot symbol, so this could end up being SG Wheeljack which I suppose can be fixed by some stickers but would still be disappointing.

E Downshift is actually shaped like Wheeljack.... unlike C Downshift

I know and thats obviously in its favour, but C Downshift is generally considered a better toy. I think it has a much more wheeljack/slicer like head and something about the car mode has the brutish vibe that well suits both the charater tech spec and the exosuits alt mode.

Andy HOWEVER, if they package him with Energon Cliffjumper done in neon pink as his exo-suit, then all is forgiven... |

I for got which Cybertron Downshift looked like - not seen that he has a Wheeljack head before. I only ever saw the green car & felt it looks Armada sideswipe-ish.
But that toy could suit slicer but would think a wheeljack paint job would suit. being amuscle car - wuldn't suit it being white, need to be dark.

I don't dislike them, but I want G2 in a G2 set. Andy True, this does mean I won't get my desired 3-pack of G2 Decepticon green/white troopers, since I'm sure this means we'll get a 3 pack of Sharkticons. But still, these ARE nice figures. |

And annoyingly the sharkticon mould would have made an unusual but pretty cool set of G2 troopers.
I'm just getting more and more orried that there won't be a Jhiaxus which initially I assumed was the obvious candidate for a toy.

I was assuming we'd see a Jihaxus from the Powerglide mode, but would they do another head remold for this year?
