Has anyone bought the Reprolabel G1 Alternator stickers?

I think they just have them for Meister, Tracks, and Hound, but they look pretty cool.

After almost a HOUR waiting for the forum to load, I can finally give you the new, that Shockwave, is offical.

SHOCKWAVE!

Post #6 has the images, but you can see there is a Rear Spoiler on the back. SO happy I am.

I'm definetly excited for him, although I wish he could actually be called Shockwave (no, the plate isn't enough.)

In other news.... rumors of ALTERNATOR JETS!!!!!!!

Just a rumor at this point, from Hasbro displaying their 2005 line to retail buyers, via Seibertron.

http://www.seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=4418

The sheer possibility makes every TFan on the globe shudder with orgasmic glee.

Yeah, i put that Jet stuff in the rumor area, I cant see it happening, unless they do a offshoot series, cause lets say you go to buy one, and its still called Alternators? I dont think of planes nearly as much then.

Finally, something to updated with.

Windcharger was supposed to be released in November, well, only a month late I guess, it has been found in the US.

As you can tell, that is a Target Reciept(sp) there to.

Also, much like how Shockblast's Plate has his G1 name, Battle Ravage, has had his plated changed from BTL RVG, to just simply RVG.

Looks good, although as you said, I can definetly see a lot of jokes in the future concerning the, *ahem*, size of his gun.

I've been searching for Grimlock and Swindle since mid December, and still haven't found them. Half the stores in my area still haven't even restocked post Xmas. One of them even increased the price of their Alternators (all they had was Sideswipe) from 19.99 to 20.19 for some odd reason.

What are we looking at for the US release dates of Ravage/Shockwave?

Ravage I woudl say maybe Late Springe Early Summer, and Shockwave just after that, or same time.

I also can't find Grimlock, Swindle, or Wincharger, even though I think all 3 have been found in Madison.
