I used to be excited about Bumbly-bee. Now that I know what his special is... I'm doubly excited about him! Plus, it seems like the natural power for Skywarp to have. I suppose that's what Nightcrawler will have when they make him, too.

Infiltrate sounds really awesome! My younger brother's going to be really excited about this set when I tell him about it. I can see that special power potentially for SW figures perhaps in later series.

Hey Joe, how about a little more info.... Base size, speed, cost, class, and SP%?

Does it seem to anyone else that the special powers for Optimus Prime and Megatron are reversed thematically? Megatron always seems to be in danger as long as other Decepticons are around, whereas Optimus Prime appears to soldier on, as long as he's surrounded by his compatriots. I agree - although the SOP Gold had Recover, so the intent may have been just to mix up the specials a bit (so that Optimus is not always recover). And now for something completely different: I must give Webhead a lot of credit for staying true to the original story lines of the Transformers for his use of Infiltrate. Skywarp had the power to teleport (although he never did in the cartoon or comics that I remember), so this special power is perfect for him. Bumblebee, according to his card on the back of the box, was built for espionage, so again Infiltrate is a good choice for him too.

What does that trivial subject mean? Well I got my TF2 and SW5 Starters today. Yes Vader does have the push-head-arm-pop as seen on the back of the box. But what was most impressive were the powers found on some of the TF figures: Skywarp G1 Optimus Landquake Optimus is the first Last Stand for the TFs... and Skywarp and Landquake have powers NEVER BEFORE SEEN! Discuss! cool. maybe we'll see some other new powers in the TF series. Make the series stand out a little more

Most everything has already said about Jam, I wish it was worded that Launchers couldn't attack on their next turn. As it is now, who's ever going to shoot Landquake with their first shot? Seems to be one of the easiest specials to bypass.
Infiltrate could be absolutely amazing and a real pain for your opponent if it happened early in the game. And it would be very irritating for your opponent to have him keep coming up white, constantly going back to their starting line.
Last Stand is a cool power, but it can be pretty tough to make sure that figure is your last one left. If his defense is as good as the first robot prime then he's got a chance. But since that first SOP has such great defense, he still may outlast this figure.
Megatron with Recover sounds great. And very interesting point by Yodabreaker, one I agree with but never would have thought of.

Ahh Infiltrate, only one step closer to my dream of the greatest and most double sided Attacktix specials ever-Distraction
Example Distraction- Move one of your blank adjacent to one of your opponent's Leaders if you have a blank2 in play.
Why do I want it? Think about it, you get your strikers halfway across the table! It's also fair because like with Jam the opponent can make it utterly ineffective (in this case by killing the guy on the first shot). I'm not sure who it'd work great for... maybe a GBG, Gamorean, Storm Trooper, or... dare I say it... Skeleton Warrior!!! (Yes, I'm obsessed.).

Skywarp had the power to teleport (although he never did in the cartoon or comics that I remember), so this special power is perfect for him. He did it once that I know of. Once! In the pilot episodes, he did it once and blasted Ironhide good. As for Inflitrate in StarWars, yeah it would be awesome with Bounty-Huntin' Leih, and maybe some Bothan spies!

He made a few teleportations, I think, but that's the one that always sticks out in my mind. And it's also nice that his buddy Starscream just-so-happens to be a Captain. Let's hope that: A) A Thundercracker is released, and... B) He cooperates well with the other 2 Very impressive, can't wait to get mine!

When Attacktix has done all the US lines for TF, they should release a line of G1 Decepticon figures that can fly.(All of them)

Wouldn't it be better to simply have a G1 set with all new molds and have a few flying figures? Of course it will have Decepticons AND Autobots.
