Official Hasbro Images for New and Upcoming Hunt for the Decepticons Scouts

I thought Sunspot was an autobot. This stinks for those that didn't get Skystalker, Sunspot really clashes with Mindwipe. It doesn't look very stealthy.

Sunspot - That mold simply doesn't work for me in white.

Firetrap - If we didn't have a Brawn in the ROTF line already, this would be the guy! Quite like that colour scheme.

Firetrap is a little too top-heavy for me (and resembles movieverse Brawn a little too much), but Sunspot looks pretty boss. I've been itching for a 'Con bearing a similar Sunstorm-esque color scheme for a while now, and it seems to fit well with the bright color palette being used throughout the HTFD line. This confirms it - HTFD is giving me a serious erection.

Wow...lots of pasess for me in these waves. I think the only ones I'm getting are Highbrow and ELita 1 and the two new PCC 5 packs. Saving a lot of money...

So I'm not the only one getting a Brawn vibe from Firetrap. Well, darn now I have to choose between deluxe Brawn and Firetrap for my G1 section...

Repaints, pass.

firetrap equals brawn

Well, you could always just pretend Firetrap is his similar-looking minicon partner. Being Scout class, Firetrap would be a pretty buff minicon, but hey, would you expect less from someone paired with Brawn?

And I'm digging the football helmet. He's ready to go bounding toward the 'Cons head first, knocking them over like bowling pins.

Firetrap = Brawn.

Movieverse Brawn = new character, I shall call him Thighmaster.

For some odd reason, Sunspot's screaming "Sunstorm homage" to me...........

Hmm, now that you mention it, he does make one hell of a G1 Brawn, with his intensely green alt-mode. I dunno, I may remove him from my "Do Not Get" list.....

Love 'em. I'll be scooping those up like a scooping machine scoops up stuff!

After that, analogy lessons!

Sunspot is a pass, even though I love the mold.

I missed the original figure that firetrap is, so I will be getting him.

At least I'm exited about Sunspot. Since Skystalker is impossible to find...

I like the mold Firetrap uses. I may pick it up a second time.

Movieverse Brawn = Rhinox, maybe? Just without the beast mode.

Sunspot w/o corresponding Mindwipe repaint = why??

I'll pick up firetrap because I didn't pick up Scattershot

Thank you, amcgrath929. I thought that was Scattershot re-painted, but I wasn't sure.

I wish I had seen Skystalker on the shelves. Sunstorm...err...Sunspot is pretty ugly to have with Mindwipe. Overpay for Skystalker or hurt my eyes....hrm...

Hmm, I really like Sunspot in those colors...then again, I'm a magpie, paint something up nice and bright and I'm there.

Firetrap is Brawn? I thought he was Roadbuster for sure, especially with the guns. Oh well, he's Firetrap to me.

It's that domed headpiece that is swaying people to Brawn, and he's not quite orange enough to be Roadbuster. I do see where you're coming from tho'.

I thought Scout Windcharger was HFTD too or am I wrong?

Nope, Generations. Starting Spring 2011 Generations will expand its range from Legends with Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Goldbug and possibly Prowl, to Voyager with Grapple.

Sunspot i may pick up, but undecided still.

Firetrap is a PASS since i have Scattorshot.

Firetrap = Man at Arms

Seems that virtually every mold is getting a repaint which I suppose is handy if you missed them first time round. New molds for the HFTD line would be nice though as it seems to be dominated by these repaints.

I have to get sunspot hence(never saw skystalker on any shelf anywhere!!) dont have a minion for mindwipe. His robot combined mode with him is gonna look lame with this color scheme. Hopefully they do a repaint that matches mindwipe cmon hasbro!!!!

I love these scout class figures. I may skip Firetrap since I have Scattorshot, but I can't pass on a plane altmode, even though I'm one of the lucky ones to have snagged Skystalker. (I had to ask a worker at Target to dig in the stockroom for him, but I got him)

kind of digging these scout sized pseudo seeker sets.


Hoping for a third Acid Storm style repaint of this mold, and a boxset of Ransack's mold in G1 Seeker colors

Actually, it's just the smaller classes that will be Generations... I think.
Last time I checked, Hasbro is still calling Grapple a HFTD figure.

No wonder I get so bloody confused

Either way he fits nicely into that line!

Bah, he'll be Classics/Henkei/Universe/Generations to me, no matter what packaging he has.

The true test will be to find one in Europe, packaged or otherwise!

I'll consider myself lucky if I find Generations here at all, let alone Grapple.
