Out of nowhere we have an unexpected reveal to share with you. Thanks to our very own 2005 Boards member python5003 we can share for you our first images of the new Transformers Velocitron Speedia 500 Deluxe G2 Shadowstrip and Crasher.
Both figures were found at a Kmart store in New Zealand. Shadowtrip is an elegant black and gold redeco of the Legacy Dragtrip mold inspired by the unreleased G2 Dragstrip colors. We have a nice in-hand gallery of the packaging, robot mode, alt mode, instructions and even comparison shots next to the Legacy mold and even his combiner mode as Menasor’s arm. To top it all, we have some images of Velocitron Crasher, a redeco with a new head of the War For Cybertron Mirage mold which we had seen some images before, but now we have a proper confirmation of this release.
Not much left to say, so enjoy the images after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Good to see JG1 characters. Its not like we need Beast Machines updates or anything. Of course, your old BM figures are already good enough! Perhaps add a Jetstorm to your collection. he looks so lovely! great toy, really. no need to replace him. really. please

Oh yeah that reminds me. You know who else was exclusive to Walmart? Hauler. Who was the other figure in his original eHobby set?
Sunstorm

To Walmart. In part of an exclusive capsule collection. Honestly surprised he's in even remotely similar colors. He could do with a more cohesive deco release. I'd be all too happy about a creamsicle Sunstorm. I can't imagine he's any more obscure than all the Diaclone and EHobby homages we've gotten in the last few years.

I know that rumor comes from a credible source but I still don't believe it. They literally released a more obscure character (Hotlink) from Sunstorm's own subgroup, there's no way that happens but Sunstorm is deemed "too obscure."

Oh, yep, RIP, mixed up the brothers' names, my bad.

Ah, that explains the headless TF figures lately on shelves. They're just "modular."
They ain't Mad Max, but I'd love it to take inspiration from some of the more "skeletal-framed" helicopters:

But really, any airborne alt mode.

Meant more a actual animal shape but it's got different parts on it and isn't symmetrical.
It can be maybe, so many possibilities if you use Mad Max as an example.

Me telling my parents that the family's pet bulldog that bit me was actually just a modulator:

EVERYTHING IS MODULAR IF YOU’RE NOT A COWARD ABOUT IT

So far my favourite modular figure has been Star Saber.
Foster
Detritus is modular too if you're not a coward about it
Enderstone
I meant the Junkion as in the modular ones.
Enderstone
Eh I think that kind of Junkion can be a Voyager unless he's a Voyager sized figure that comes with a trailer that can break apart for you to customise him and his fellow Junkions.
A beast Junkion could have an alternate mode like this Go-Onger mecha below:

A hybrid of car and animal, sounds really cool if I'm being honest.

Detritus has been confirmed already, presumably as a redeco of Buzzworthy Hound
TF Hot Rod
It would be kinda cool if we got a Leader Junkion with a Mad Max-y truck mode, if ROTB Scourge and DOTM Megatron can have it, a Junkion can to.
So many possibilities for Junkions (maybe even a Beast Junkion that turns into a animal made out of junk).
Enderstone
The Voyager Junkion might be the muscle car we see on the poster, and if it is I'll be super happy because it being a Voyager likely means it'll be retooled into Lockdown. Lockdown is a pretty tall dude after all, even if he's not tall he needs good engineering!
I'm just hoping the Deluxe Junkion, also in the same wave, isn't another fucking bike. I like bikes but damn we already had Junkion 2 (whose name is getting revealed very, very soon). Time for G1 Junkions to have new non-bike Mad Max alternate modes, like Scraphook and maybe Detritus.
If it turns out to be another bike I'll get it if it is distinct enough from Junkion 2.
Omegaclaw
There’s a voyager junkion which may or may not be a car. I like to think it’s Lockdown
