Here are the links to the pre-orders, but there are no accompanying pictures at this time, and apparently there are a couple of unnamed characters as well:
C-06 Jetfire/Skyfire
D-04 Ramjet
C-07 Unnamed Cybertron 1
C-08 Unnamed Cybertron 2
Is one of the other Autobots going to be the obvious choice of Cliffjumper? Who is the other unnamed Bot!?! And what will the paint applications of this Jetfire look like? Superior to his CLASSICS brother, or not?
All questions worth discussing here!

I can't believe that they are doing both! They may as well just count my money now

If it is CliffJumper, do you think Takara would have gone the extra mile and retool the head?

While I still bought the set, it was disappointing that the detail shown in the promo pics were skipped. I'm hoping the Henkei version corrects that.
What if the henkei version comes with the upgrade kit? How awesome would that be?

They are still a long time away,so they *might* be universe/c2.0 'bots.

Oh I know, its Thundercracker, except with chrome paint, and Autobot logos. That’s it, yeah…

Yup, you beat me to saying that.
The other has to be the Deluxe Class Prime from the two pack.

Please don't start that again! Cause we all know it's Micheal Bay leaking false information

An upgrade kit...as in we would finally get a true Ultra Magnus—that would rock my socks!!
*EDIT* Oops! Missed the deluxe pricing posts above—dang it!

Deluxe price points people. Deluxe.
As in, not the Voyager sized Ultra Magnus.

Henkei Cliffjumper? I'll pass.
Henkei Thundercracker with different shade of blue, different stripe pattern with same colors? I'd buy that.
Henkei Skyfire/Jetfire? I'll pass.

Very doubtfull about the Cons, Takara numbers Decepticons with a D, and Autobots with a C.
I know we should all know this. But I've noticed a couple posts in this thread where Deceticons where mentioned as front runners. So it's just a little PSA, sorry to insult anyones intelegence.
But just so no one asks why...
C - is for Cybertons, Takara's term for Autobots
D - is for Destron, Takara's term for Decepticons
If your wondering what they call the planet, there's a clue in the header of this site.
Again, pretty much everyone knows this, but its for the ones that dont.
OH and CP is right, the unnamed figs are at the Deluxe price range, so Mangus is probably out. I myself am hoping for a suprize new item like say a trailer for Prime.
And just to wrap this up, no one wants the Seekers done more than me, but can we just have 1 Henkei thread without that war starting!?!

As for the other Deluxe, who knows. Skywarp? Repainted Mirage as Dragstrip? A ghost Starscream would kick bunches of ass...

Keep up!

You preordered something that you don't even know what it is,
THIS IS DEDICATED PEOPLE!!!!
I sure hope they don't suck whatever they are!

Pre-orders at BBTS can be cancelled with no penalty. That's one of the beauties of that store.

Yeah but most of us(at least me) would get drunk and forget about it, wind up getting a $25 half eaten bean burrito in a couple months with Transformers writen with a sharpie across it.
Seriously though, I have 3 items on preorder there. I tend not to shop online often outside of the auctions, so this is actualy my first time dealing with BBTS and preorders.
So since we're on the topic, will I get a heads up when the item is stocked, or will $80 just eventualy get zapped out of my account?
Either way...

I don't recall getting any emails telling me the item has arrived and I WILL be charged. I think I got emails notifying me that the item is coming. I just check My Account on BBTS and see what's going on.
BBTS has made mistakes before, and I would not be surprised if one of the "C's" becomes a "D". They screwed up with which minibots will be included with Bumblebee, saying there will be Huffer, Warpath, and some other figure. Now we are getting official word that instead, we're getting Pipes, Outback, and Tailgate instead. So, it may still be too early to tell right now.

Easy there, it's protocol to me to pre-order when these things are announced. They suck, I cancel, no harm, no foul. They're not out for almost 6 months, anyway. We'll have plenty of pics by then. The system works.

In all fairness to BBTS, this was not the Bumblebee Alternator here, all the stores that had them up early had the first set listed, and then it was changed on them.
They notify you when your Pre-order is instock and in your PILE OF LOOT.
However, they do keep you up to date on when things are coming, so you usually have plenty of time to decide, like PQP said.

Thats good to know cause the MP coronation sets still say second quarter. I hate mystery and money and I spend seriously. I wish I could just pay for these things now(they should have that option) cause I hate looming money matters. It could be $1 or $100,000 I just wanna pay what I owe and wory about the rest later.

Same here, that's why I pre-order most things from tfsource now. It's paid for, I don't have to worry about it.

I'm guessing it's a c2.0 or perhaps (and this is a WILD guess,no pun intended by the way.) a redeco of 10th anniversary/cybertron jungle planet optimus primal.
If it's something from the "G2" battlepack i will snap.
Posted by Craven Knight on April 8th, 2008 @ 5:15am CDT
Remember that episode when prime got hurt and Huffer offered to pull his trailer and he was drawn all tiny and out of scale(like their respective toys are)?
Yeah it could happen
I wish Henkei Astrotrain would hurry up and arrive.
