Any possible chance we could get a photo of the mini-comic that came with the Kreon's as well? Thanks in advance!

Spy-Eye is on the first page to feature Burn Out and Lift-Ticket. It's in camera mode being held by Lift-Ticket.Seibertron wrote:ScottyP wrote:Good guys, bad guys - going off where we've seen some of these decos in the club comic, this was all just SG without being SG, wasn't it?Sabrblade wrote:The name supposedly comes from the comic, and those who have it say he works with the Diaclone guys, so his toy is a good guy but comes with bad guys.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Guys, I may have found the name of the Reflector redeco: Spy-Eye.

Where is he in the comic? I want to make sure I get the "factions" right when I do group shots this afternoon.

So which two-pack is which on the etailer pre-orders pages?
Is the one with OP and Hound the $129 or the $139 pack? I'm guessing the latter.
Too pricey for me.

I wouldn't count on it. The Club has said that the Blitzwing mold is hard to work with, I'm guessing with the shoulder problems and the color layout.
Homages to the old (Diaclone for Lift-Ticket and Burnout, as well as Dia and Cline) and the canceled (Sgt. Hound and General Optimus Prime) are automatically cool in my book. Love how the bios are done, especially for the Waruder with every variation called out and given names:
Mudfighter with Thrasher (Fox Kids Transmetal homage)
Paralyzer with Buzzer
Parasite with Ripper (Halloween Horrorcon homage)
Storm Rider with Crusher
Any significance to those names? Another couple of G.I. Joe throwbacks like Lift-Ticket and Burnout?

The white/pink one is surprisingly attractive, too.

Apart from "Storm Rider", they all sound like generic wasp-related names.

... and I just read that the Waruder pilots' names are taken from G.I. Joe as well, from the Dreadnok biker gang to be exact.

Indeed, thrasher, ripper, buzzer, are Dreadnoks.

Whoops, and at least the Paralyzer and Mudfighter are vehicle names for GI Joe.

My comment was referring to the Red Hoist and Purple-ish Swerve (and maybe Black Skids) toys being seen in a club magazine comic a few months back as Evil Autobots hanging out with SG Rodimus.Seibertron wrote:ScottyP wrote:Good guys, bad guys - going off where we've seen some of these decos in the club comic, this was all just SG without being SG, wasn't it?Sabrblade wrote:The name supposedly comes from the comic, and those who have it say he works with the Diaclone guys, so his toy is a good guy but comes with bad guys.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Guys, I may have found the name of the Reflector redeco: Spy-Eye.

That set has the highest price tag and and had the most number of pieces made this year, at least for the souvenirs (2,000). I'd say it has the greatest chance of not selling out merely based on those two factors, but you never know. Rainmakers were made in greater numbers a few years back and sold out faster than anything else in that set.Hellscream9999 wrote:Those Waruder Drones look exquisite; Really anxious to get them, does anyone know how fast they might sell out, if at all? I need these in my life!
I'm 99% certain General Admission can buy from the Club Store, but only after all preregistered con-goers have had a chance to go through the line.Breakdown318 wrote:anyone know if i can purchase the Diaclone 2 pack as a general admission person?

(yeah, I've got issues, for some people it's Optimus' or Starscreams, for me, it's Waspinators)

Thanks, for the reassurances; I'll be there tomorrow, but I really have my heart set on that set.
I guess if someone wanted to grab me one, this would be an interesting way to learn how pm's work.

Well, Dinobots don't usually have yellow or purple eyes.
