Takara-Tomy and Hasbro are now offering their Transformers Dramatic Capture Series Decepticons Part 2 (Skywarp & Insecticon Trio) Figure Set, which is a companion piece to Thundercracker and the Reflector set. This set is inspired by the Transformers Generation One cartoon, and comes with energon cubes, and small alternate modes of several Decepticons. While the figures are repaints using existing molds, the accessories are so good that it makes purchasing the set just to own them worthwhile, including the fact that you can own gun molds of Megatron and Shockwave, which can be held by these figures.
