In all fairness, we also complained about their stupid hands.

Insulting people for their opinions? Yeah, that's real adult.

At the very least get Slingshot so you're not saddled with Alpha Tossbag.

as a toy, Alpha Bravo is actually my favourite Wave 1 figure, so that's not a problem for me.

Brake Neck, Wildrider, whoop dee doo.......who cares? The only people who are picking these two up are the people who cried rivers of tears when they found out that they had been replaced due to death in G3 fiction. Crushing their dreams of shoehorning these next generation figures into their "geewun classics" collection, right next to their HFTD Seaspray and FOC Shockwave.

Doesn't look like anyone answered this one, which is a bit of a surprise. Maybe they didn't notice the question tucked away at the end of your post?

Anyway, unlike the other two replaced bots, Groove is still a part of Defensor. He is just now a Legends class figure:




Meanwhile, since you can't have a Legends class limb, there is a new guy, named Rook, who becomes a SWAT vehicle:



And poor Groove has been downgraded from limb to chest plate:

Thank you. Unlike my problem with the one-that-shall-not-be-named being shoehorned into Superion, I actually like this. It makes sense that a bike wouldn't be the same size as full-size emergency vehicles, yet he's still part of the team and hasn't been straight up replaced. And Rook fits in well with the others, being a SWAT truck. And yeah, Defensor looks pretty awesome. My only gripe is that his feet are too small, but I'm sure a 3P company will step up, like they did with Superion. Barring any turn-offs once he's physically available to gawk at, I'm sold on this figure as well. Is Bruticus next?

No, next is Ultra Prime with Mirage, Ironhide, Prowl and Sunstreaker. And that will be it for 2015 (aside from Devastator of course).

I thought the name of the repaint was "Optimus Maximus". Doesn't matter, and it's redecos and retools all around:

Mirage: Drag Strip
Ironhide: Offroad
Sunstreaker: Breakdown
Prowl: ???
Rodimus: Blackjack

why would the deco on one figure come into play on another if the other is a redeco?

I isn't mine. I merely found it.

But rest assured, Takara did indeed make all of the others more show-accurate as well.

Prowl and Streetwise, being police cars, share the same basic colors of black and white. Making one blue and the other black goes a long way of differentiating them on first glance.

@Wolfman Jake: Fireflight and Dead End effectively "stole" the alt mode of the guys that have been replaced: the Harrier and the Ferrari respectively.

Don't you mean Superion deco?
