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!

It'd be rather small if Straxus is the size of Galvatron though, and he'd need retooling anyway so I don't see why they wouldn't just design a new pickaxe that's more appropriately sized (and maybe that turns into the cannon barrel for alt mode). Actually making the molds is the expensive part, and they'd still have to make a new mold even if they reuse the design.

Miner Megatron’s pickaxe could easily be redecoed into Straxus’ weapon, was a thought I’d had recently
TF Hot Rod
That's pretty much what I would expect to see done.

Especially if he was a partial of Galvatron, would be pretty easy for them
TF Hot Rod
I’m sure he’ll happen at some point.

A shame we never got Straxus in Legacy: Evolution since he got passed over for Transmetal II Megatron. A man can dream!

At Walmart? So is there a potential for more coming?
RangerXML
And gone!
Praxus
NP. I got told at work we got a single case in so this makes sense. It’s for online only at least for my store. So hopefully everyone who missed out can get em.

OMG thanx, ordered.
Ilovetransformers22
Yes.

Did the Hotrod get cancelled?

TFW2005 on Lio Convoy: "eww, why didn't they paint his eyes? He looks dead inside. They couldn't be bothered to use just a smidgen more paint to make him look less lifeless? Good lord, Hasbro is stupid."
TFW2005 on Copy Convoy: "oh god, why does he have pupils? Why did they even bother painting the eyes? They should've just left them unpainted. Good lord, Hasbro is stupid."
I wonder why I have this sense of Déjà Vu..?
