Swirly plastic = GPS = those figures are SCREWED.


I don't see any swirls in the plastic itself. If you're referring to Bumblebee's roof and Wheeljack's hood: spray paint patterns.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Looks like molded swirly-colored plastic to me. But it's not metallic, so GPS shouldn't be a problem. GPS is caused by the metallic flecks in the plastic.

Those are colour swirled plastic, not spray. The dead giveaway is inside BB's roof, if it were sprayed they wouldn't have bothered doing the interior.

Mega Bloks has been doing similar things with their Halo sets for quite a while ("Camouflauge" plastic I believe they called it) and personally I hate it. It makes everything so inconsistent and slapped together looking, especially when you're only applying it to a few parts on the overall figure (BB's Roof, Soundwave's arms and feet, Wheeljack's hood). Granted these things look inconsistently slapped together anyway, with new X-TREME bits on pre-existing molds.

Whether or not this dye-swirled plastic will be a precursor to GPS is anyone's guess, but even metallic flake plastics these days seem to be handled differently enough to make them last... So for anyone looking to get these I'd hazard a guess they'll be safe in the years to come. For me, however, these are a definite pass, and I'm gonna be extra sad if this is how they begin appearing in the show.

Good lord those things look horrid! :SICK: They're like out of some bad 90's comic!
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

Huh, never heard of such a development. Interesting. :-?

OK, then I retract, but my GPS statement still stands.

At the risk of dismissing these out of hand, I'll be very interested to see TT's take on it....

"What is your pleasure?"....... I get that vibe from most of this wave, myself. Repaint BB black, stick a couple of pins on his head, a splash of blood, and a Lament Configuration in his hand, he might just pull it off......


I'm only gonna grab Soundwave.

It's clear plastic painted that way. It's meant to look burned/damaged just like Wheeljack's hood with its gray/charred look. I wish they'd done that over their entire alt modes or not at all. Having just certain parts looking like that looks way off.

Agreed. Wheeljack's isn't too bad as it looks like he's driven through an explosion, in which case most of the charring would be on the bonnet. But Bumblebee's doesn't make any sense solely on the roof.

Simple beast transformation be damned! I like Lazerback. I WILL get him. I'll probably get them all regardless of whether or not they get the same treatment in the show. As someone else said though, I'll probably wait to see what Takara's planning on doing with this series of figures.
