I'm guessing this means the missile fires, and maybe that the tailfin piece and missile piece will be the same colour, but the missile launcher could be a different colour.
I'll preorder this once we get conformation that the missiles have been downsized a little (and hopefully by then the Aussie dollar will be less craptacular).
EDIT: Ahh, I only just realised that the order of the pieces is customisable. I thought they were two different molds. But it looks like you can have missile - launcher - tail fins or missile - tail fins - launcher.

But I think I'm gonna pass, I don't really need a ladder for my Inferno. And the missile launchers still look too big.

I can also say for sure that Mirage does not look better with a launcher. It ruins his sleek design appeal.
Autoscout has no interest for me.

I'd rather add it to my Pile 'o Loot than order it separately.

That's too much imo. I really wish hasbro would please start making accessory kits so we can have more general releases of this kind of weapons. If hasbro could make a simple set like this for $15 to $20.00, it would be out of stock and disappear from the shelf in every major retailer in no time. I still don't see why they are so reluctant to give it a try. Inferno can definitely use a little more add-ons. Mirage, on the other hand, looks good as is. Maybe a little attachment to his bowgun can make it a more convincing weapon. The shoulder cannon on Sideswipe does seem a bit too large, but still looks good.

It's Autoscout. A lot of people are glad to have it, some arent. It might have been before your time or you dont remember the episode, I didn't till I saw the picture of it. I gotta have this set, mainly for the ladder. Wooooooh!!!!!!

If this is true the set has just lost value whit this decision.

Now we get to the price. $30 dollars isn't bad. I'd imagine at a local store you would pay about...
$5.00 - 2 Rocket Launchers
$5.00 - Auto Scout
$10.00 - Ladder (Considering material)
BBTS is charging $45. That is way too much for a set like this. In it's current state I would have to pass.

Can't seem to link the images directly as there are square brackets in the file names...

When G1 was on TV I didn't have TV (something to do with being out in the middle of nowhere with no reception) so all my TF lore tends to come from the UK and US comics.
