;D So, there are some sweet figures out soon from Hasbro for 2010, some of the more noteworthy dudes would include - Thrust and (earth mode) Drift.
The Thrust figure is (unfortunately) not a recast of the 2007 botcon version but the Japanese Henkei version. It has (in my opinion) far better - true to Geewun paint apps which, to me, suggests Hasbro may have been paying attention to the way TF collectors slavishly lapped up Takaras' Japanese Classics\Henkei line which was consistently better in the paint department. When I forked for a Henkei Thrust I had to paint over a heap of cock-rock lightning bolts on the wings. This new version has none! good.
The Drift, Earth vehicle mode looks pretty tight to me, but I must say; I'm dissapointed that Hasbro haven't jumped on the Singapore toy fair release of the Cybertron mode kits and bashed a few of them out. The robot mode looks relatively true to his comic book form (I didn't sit here with an open AHM to discriminate finer points of its appearance) and I can see a lot of comic and toy fans jumping on this one as soon as it's released. I WANT ONE!

Lookin like its been another top event with some excitin releases planned over the coming months!
Really likin Drift, lookin awesome! But even tho hes been given a peachy earth alt mode i cant help but feel a bit disappointed its not his cybertronian alt mode.
Very excited over the planned Darkmount figure AKA Lord Straxus! (sadly hasbro couldnt secure the name hence Darkmount) Nevertheless he's lookin totally awesome! He'll be a delux figure with the same head and features as he appeared in the Marvel comics and will be a true triple changer! Bring em on!

Yeh, it's only too bad that they didn't make him a voyager sized figure! Shame about the name too. Regardless of that, Darkmount looks Fing cool.
