Coming off of our news earlier this week regarding the G2 Superion set being found in China, we now have our first look at the highly anticipated Generatrion 2 repaint of the Combiner Wars Aerialbots. Seen here in all their glory is Silverbolt, Air Raid, Slingshot, Fireflight, and Powerglide, all done up in their Generation 2 colors (including Powerglide, although he never had a release in Generation 2.). Now, the question remains, will Slingshot take a page out of Velvet Revolver and Fall to Pieces? Stay tuned to TFW2005!

Hate the mold, but I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

It's pretty crazy that G2 is marketable as it is. I mean, I'm a 90s kid so I'm all over the crazy colors (plus I'm not fond of every Autobot being red/white), but it's not something I ever expected to see again.
Gotta wonder if, in 20+ years when the Movieverse guys get updated figures, if we'll be seeing these colors on an online exclusive somewhere:
Snake_eyes1975
well, Then I guess its perfect then!
Im at a point where Im very at ease with everything Hasbro does. Going through my own transformation as a single dude, hardcore collector…to a dad. collector that plays with his kids..I sit back and really get interested in what my kid likes. My son LOVES the CW line. Pretty much everything released so far..he is all about it. That gets ME excited.
If these are online only deals..thats pretty slick to make them available to guys that like G2 (Or get it, for that matter).
As much as this fandom bangs on hasTak…they are seriously going out of the way for adult collectors. thats just my observation..and im not a fanboy in any way.

What's wrong with funky?

I don't think you understand that that's the whole appeal of G2.

Pretty much exactly why I want it!

with all due respect to the fellow members excited about this set..I apologize..but this thing looks like the funkiest thing ive seen from retail hasbro.

Nope. Just looked over the SDCC Panel info.
In no way were the G2 Combiner sets stated to be exclusives of any kind.

Nah. What we really need is this:
Purple Heart
They where back when they were revealed.

I don't recall the G2 sets being stated as any sort of exclusive.

I actually had more of the G2 Aerialbots than the ones from G1, and I do dig the colors, but I can't see getting this one since I've already got the Combiner Wars in G1 colors.

Let me preface my remarks by saying that I am NOT concerned about this G2 Slingshot.
That said, at least part of the reason for the continued fear is that we've had comparatively recent toys (that is to say, released well AFTER we'd been told that GPS was supposed to be a thing of the past) that have nonetheless suffered from GPS. The Millennium Falcon and Micromaster Superion spring immediately to mind.
Couple this with the fact that GPS typically takes a few years to become noticeable, and there remains concern that toys issues since those might suffer, but simply haven't broken down yet.
Again, I'm not concerned. I have faith that this HAS been dealt with. But we do no one any favors by ignoring the fact that it has happened more recently than G2 and the Beast Era.

IIRC it will be an online exclusive, similar to the Superion/Menasor limbs and will be available at multiple outlets.

That hasnt been revealed.

Dude, you forgot both G2 and G1 Powerglide. Just thought I'd warn you.
Black Convoy
Looks awesome. Is it gonna be a TOysrus exclusive?
