Are Reissue Piranacons on their way? Oct 4, 2007 15:58:59 GMT

Post by Madplanet on Oct 4, 2007 15:58:59 GMT

Was searching for Prototypes after seeing TF animated Screamer and I came across auctions for the seacons. I remember a few years back that they were thinking about it releasing them, and then recent rumors of it coming soon, maybe it will. Which sucks as I went to all the trouble getting them.

Modern ones tend to be made in a whole plethora of colours. They are possibly coming back as a Club exclusive.

These are definitely not G1.

He took those auctions down, and replaced them with one auction (this time with more parts I think)

He says that only Nautilator has a copyright date, (1987). This, along with the plastic used, would tie in nicely to my theory that they are transitional "first" shots for the Universe line.

They would have modified all of the copyrights aside from Nautilator, who was not included in the original gift set - yet seemingly went on to make a first shot of the existing mould to see what it would look like.

In short I think this is one of the first runs of the intended Universe release.
