Rubbish choice for a reissue when the Dinobots have been left untouched...

I'll be picking one up tho ;)

and looking forward to Star Convoy too, if only for the mini Hot Rod :swirly:

I love the way they recoloured his handgun in 'movie colours', because, in the Movie... HE DIDN'T HAVE A FRICKIN' HANDGUN! :x

This is not me showing an intense emotional response to uncomfortable stimuli, btw. ;)

I always had a bit of a soft spot for the old Galvy toy - apart from his gun mode making the barrel stick into his head. OW!
If he's being reissued though, I'd much prefer the original colours to that manky purple.
The Matrix-on-a-chain thing will be cool though, and I'll have to buy him anyway 'cos I don't own him.
Purple? :(

I like the repaint, and I think, in the context of Rodimus vs. Galvy, Galvy's a pretty good fig.
