He looks cool. But he looks too easy to knock over. Notice he is 10 points and he is a figure that FLYS!Gideon Holy crow! I wouldnt put too much into him being 10 points. I would feel that laserbeak should be a cheaper trooper figure... But a 10 point flyer? Thats just unheard of.... Im betting its an error.. Or just a test shot oversight. And I totally disagree that he looks easy to knock over. I would argue the total opposite. There is a whole heck of allot of plastic right on top of that base. Making a low center of gravity... And that is a good thing.

Actually, I'd bet the point cost is right on. It's usually the base size/speed that are wrong, as it seems they just put a figure on a base so they can display it. But someone had to go to the effort of printing out a label so I'm guessing it's right.
Also, Jetfire looks ridiculously cool! In one of those pictures you couldn't see his name, so I was wondering if that was even a Transformer or not. He looks like he's from a completely different wave or universe or whatever. But he looks sweet!! (Reminded me of Voltron)

I sure hope they've learned the lesson of the Green Goblin and will start using a better fastening mechanism vis-a-vis New Goblin. I hate flyers that can be knocked off their perch...they should ALWAYS be strong enough to have base tip over like non-flyers....a real pet peeve.
I'm doing a 180. I will buy these.

Does somebody mind grabbing these images, and posting them in this thread (or a new one) with the picture and name of the TF. I do NOT know these figures as well as Star Wars, but I like to make little gallery threads with all the angles, etc. If not, I will get all the pics, but I'll still need someone to help me name them all! THANKS!

Isn't Mirage a slight remold of Sideswipe? Well, either way he looks really good. Also, is that Jetfire from the War Within?

Wow, Notpicard. First post since January. I would of thought you were out of Attacktix by now. I know. My time has been very divided. The trouble is that everyone I used to play against lost interest. I stopped being a completist with Star Wars on the last series. I bought all of Marvel and have yet to play more than a couple of games (and those weren't even with my attacktix). It gets tough staying in the game when there isn't a regular game played. I'm still hopeful for G.I.Joe and am thrilled with these Transformers images. I'll be grabbing all of them that I find until I have a whole set. My brother may actually want to play these with me.

Laserbeak looks scary, I don't think I want to face him in a game. It lookes like he's ten points, he flies, and looks hard to shoot down. Ouch.

Honestly, I am so into these now. I am a bit dismayed with most of Marvel, I mean they're cool and all, but they're just not my thing and I really don't like a lot of the powers and attacks. These I can get into. I thought I would never buy them, and realistically, I'm going to skip Series 2 and buy all of these new ones. I am more familiar with the G1 stuff since I was like 8 or 10 when the cartoons were on, and the new ones like Vector Prime and whatnot are not my bag.
So, I think whirl and the starter are about it for me for G1 - I'll just keep saving up for SW6/TF3!
<Edit> ... Hey Mr. Manzo, can you check with your 'RELIABLE' source on Soundwave's power? I would really love to know that one.

Yoda was an exception - since his power is out for all the world to see

(Reminded me of Voltron) It's the 6" Titanium version inspired by War Within. ---Dave (and to repeat from the other thread this too, Rumble is a single prodder, the other arm is non-functional).

I don't remember a sideswipe repaint in G1, If this is gonna be final, then this will be a huge (and I mean huge) slap in the face for any G1 purists collecting Attacktix. Sideswipe repaint was Red Alert from season 2. How is this a huge slap in the face? I think this is freaking awesome!
