That CliffJumper with FE Prime body, does kinda throw me off too.
The other 2 seem to get away with the mould repaint for me.
I may get them, haven't made up my mind yet though.

I do want a Springer (and a Hotrod for that matter) to go with my Sergeant Kup, Generations Blurr, Masterpiece Grimlock and Perfect Effect Motobot. Doesn't look recognisably G1 enough.
Swerve is nice but as mentioned above I already have a Kup, though it's front windshield is developing a few cracks so I am very tempted to get this.
Wheelie. No, just no.
Already have an TFP FE Cliffy and this new/classic headsculpt is just yuck on that body.

That CJ will never look right .

As for the people hating on Wheelie, don't worry, you won't ever find him.

You'd be wrong! I want at 3 Wheelies and possibly a Swerve. One for Wheelimus Prime, one for an MP scale Wheelie, and one just to be Wheelie. Swerve is a maybe for MP scale sine I make a Scouts class on for Classics and iGear will theoretically make a better one eventually.

My desires are a little more mundane. I want to troop-build him and turn him into Shattered Glass Autotroopers. Gruff, overly violent enforcers who due to a control glitch speak in rhyme.

I want Springer for my movie collection. I realize the head mold is probably not very Bayverse, but I think he'll still look good alongside figures like Skyhammer and Highbrow.

I *like* that Wheelie.
Almost enough to actually buy the danged thing. But...I have the Legends figure from a few years back. I...am conflicted.
I'll probably pass on it. But I do want it. *sighs*

At least they have new heads, and some new weapons (Springer's sword and Wheelie's slingshot)
It used to be that people would be "fine with a re-paint if it just had a new head" or the "right weapons"
At least we are getting these in the first place, sort of.
That said, I would pick up Wheelie and maybe Springer, but Cliffy looks too mish-mashed and Swerve is OK, but only at regular retail, not imported.
These will make it to the US at some point, I have to guess.

With that said, I must admit I have mixed feelings over Springer. I love the fact he has a new head and the sword, but the BotCon 2007 one is also pretty decent.

Swerve... I'm still thinking we should have gotten a Gears out of that mold. Still, it might mean we'll get an actual new-mold Gears eventually.
Cliffjumper, I already have the FE Prime version so it's a pass.

Seriously, the clearer the images we get, the more I want to get him.
Only one I need to have, the rest are considerably lower on the wantability scale.
Don't get me wrong, like that Wheelie's amazing, but I've already got a reasonably scaled Legends Wheelie, Swerve looks alright, but I don't care about the character... MY Neo-G1 shelf's already got a Cliff, too... which is good since this new one is atrocious, and having (most of) the Prime FE Cliffjumper mold rereleased in this fashion is a slap in the face to fans around the world who missed out on the FE stuff

Robotkingdom had them up briefly before Hasbro told them they couldn't sell preorders yet.

I dont see a slingshot, all i see is a boring blue repaint of jazz photon convertable blaster as if he outgrew his slingshot.
Posted by quickmixed on July 7th, 2012 @ 7:35pm CDT
Also can anyone confirm that wheelie will be short packed one per case? For those who are keen on the little guy I would get those preorders in as soon as they go up.

I really like the Springer colors on that Tomahawk mold. I'll pick him up for sure, but those feet! Those FEET!
Wheelie's looking alright too. It's kinda weird to have a Wheelie that big, though. Seems like he should only be a Scout/Cyberverse size. Oh well - I'll still buy him.

For the prices we pay for TFs these days, it's about time we got some recognition.
We're paying $23 for deluxes now! $43 for voyagers.

I'd get Cliffjumper if it weren't for that fugly looking head.

Actually, he has. Well....a character named Swerve HAS had a unique mold..

He's holding the slingshot like a blaster. It's definitely Y-shaped.

His pose in the packing shows otherwise, well see when proper pictures are released.
Since all of these are G1 season 3 characters then...... maybe Galvatron is possible, perhaps he'd be great as a repaint of Generations Perceptor with a few remolded details and a Galvatron head, and the backpack issue propably fixed.

Cliffjumper is Season 1, and survived the movie, but then went MIA.

@ Autobot-Hellstriker. It's a slingshot / blaster.

I know that but since most of them including swerve and springer are season three i just thought a galvatron might be in the works after his last disastrous toy in the universe series.

His slingshot always shoot burning projectiles, a blaster shoots laser from a energy cartridge. Maybe hasbro migh decide to give him the blaster to cut down price cost, give him only the slingshot to keep his characteristics or maybe we get both.
