    “Armored MotorCycle w/ Ashika (new character) – CYCLE TRANSFORMERS INTO ARMOR! COOL AS ALL HELL.”

    kinda like robotechs cyclones??

  • http://admin Justin

    YES! Fred confirms from the Con floor that a designer verified Robotech was a source of inspiration.

  • Pentastar

    That Cyclone armor is going to be a must-have.

    The HISS tank and Ice Cutter look interesting.

    Another Amadillo repaint??? Good grief.

    Transforming motorcycle FOR THE WIN!!! Possibly the best news I’ve heard all day (Which maybe shows the kind of day I’m having…)

    Seriously, I want one NOW.

    I’m a little disappointed that the new HISS isn’t the Resolute HISS, but it still looks neat in the pic. And I’ll gladly take a Snowcat, since I never got an original one.

  • DistantFred

    I’m kind of surprised there’s no Howler in that release schedule anywhere.

    I hope this promised Resolute Storm Shadow body-use keeps the lack of Cobra logos from the original; the 25A Joe Storm Shadow never came out in Canada, and I need a faction neutral version to group with my Joes.

    I’m surprised people are liking the transforming motorcycle armor, which is sort of like the Accelerator Suits from the film.

    With that said, I want one, damnit. ;)

    You know, when Hasbro made the big proclamation that this year would run under a new theme, I was thinking something a little more substantial than environmental themes and definately not more of this RoC stuff. While the figures they’ve done are fine for the movie, I’m really hating all the figures being all dark. Once you get a few of them, they all kinda blend in on a shelf. Now another full year of this stuff?

    It’s weird with this RoC stuff. It’s the exact opposite of the 25th stuff. There I was excited about almost every figure and the vehicles for the most part were boring. With RoC I’m bored by the figures (with some exceptions) and wowed by a lot of the vehicles.

    That new HISS looks cool.

    MOTORCYCLE ARMOR!! YAY!!! Man, I love those kinda things! FINALLY.
