Great News for 2010!
from: TFormers.com, Seibertron.com

Well, the year is off to a great start. The newest waves of Transformers figures are hitting the shelves (spotted Bludgeon and Recon Ironhide) with plenty more to look forward to this year!

First off, Knightraven mentioned the upcoming TF: War for Cybertron video game, but did you see the prototype WFC Optimus Prime figure? Speaking of Primes and prototypes, take a look at the Nova Commander a.k.a. Nova Prime. No details on any production, but it looks sweet. And finally, just like Optimus Prime being ressurected, the once believed canceled Device Label Blasteris back on preorder along with a recolored Ravage/Tigatron as Cheetor! I think I will wait given the rumor that Device Label Ravage is coming to the U.S. All this and more to come! Keep ya posted!

Here is the picture of the re-issue Rodimus Prime

[2000Man]

I never had Rodimus prime growing up, but I always liked him in the cartoon. I liked him before he changed too. I had seen pics of the classic toy as well as the re-issue, but never in person. I ordered the re-issue online and a while back he arrived at my house. What a huge dissapointment! This toy is the biggest disappointment I have ever bought. It's like a slap in the face to transformers fans and especially to Rodimus fans. He looks okay as the car-thing, but as a bot! Forget it

I know, I own the original. Only two points of articulation. I'm really debating if I should get the re-issue or not. In all honesty and I hate to admit it but, I like the Energon Rodimus better.

You definitly would like to get the TF Collection #12 with the Bumblebee with the cartoon acturate head!

[MechaMan Blade]

Just released is the E-hobby exclusive mini-bot set. Check the reviews out here from bwtf.com

[DDBen]

you should also note Takara's #14 release is hound

Currently I have all of these except I'm highly debating Takara's #13 of targetmaster hotrod stare stare stare I mean come on like we need 3 releases of hotrod rodemous prime is differn't enough to warrent but the only differnce with the targetmaster one is the targetmaster himself.

and a link to where hound can be preordered

Still crossing my fingers for a Cyclonus and Scourge. Cyclonus would be awesome since he was the first Decepticon with a true sense of diehard loyalty.

#15 Re-Issue Stepper
well looks like number 15 is now up for preorder this appears to be a repaint of jazz but as a much darker paintjob and he seems to be a targetmaster I am not at all familure with this figure.
