Well, I supposed calling it non-Superion is a better choice than Uranus. But I really do wish they used a different name. Can you imagine the glaring looks going around the room when having a discussion about it?

I hope this set isnt TOO much like the original as far as the jet transformation goes. Have 4 limbs that transform the same way would be pretty lame but im sure they'll figure some kind of clever way to get by that.
They called him Uranus because Uranus is the Greek good for the sky.
Also another thing interesting I want to point out, from what I understand from the TFC's naming scheme...
Decepticons = Roman Names
Autobots = Greeks names
Going off this... Computron will probably be Hermes. Since Hermes was the Greek god of knowledge and invention. Another possibility is Apollo.
Hey! Good obervation, that is pretty cool naming concept when you think about it.
I agree with Edge, it would be interesting to see if they will just reuse the same mold for the limbs, and if the limbs will be location specific too, meaning you can't swap arms and legs around.

wow if that is supposed to be AirRaid (lower most likely Black color) and Fireflight (upper most likley red and white) they look awesome and i am glad their alt modes stay true to the 1980's jets they are based on, instead of useing the newest planes of today. also if they have landing gears plus what looks detailed cockpits and perhaps opening canopies they must be a pretty decent size i cannot wait to see Superion (sorry i just cannot call him Uranus it is just to silly to me )

They do not change their habits, still no transformation for spare parts like hand or foot... This time design and shapes are sharper than the Hercules, so, they will probably change the type of plastic for the injection. Hope QC will be better on this release.

Yeah - I'm disappointed that this will be a partsformer too. One thing I really liked about Hercules was that the hands went somewhere. Yes he was partsforming too, but at least they had somewhere to stow bits in the alt modes. Uranus looks to be less likely to stow bits now that we've seen how big his feet will be...
Ha ha ha.... Same thing... Just have a look on TF Prime Skyquake / Dreadwing... The 2 missile-tankers on Eagle (left leg) look like a unique shape : no transformation or any weapon combination... Wait and seeeee...

I wonder since Herc is out of the way and the company is what is it is, will we see the same sort of release schedule as the Herc figures... for my wallets sake I hope so... my patients is another story though.
