At least the mechtech weapon is colourmatched to Dreadwing. Still not a fan of mechtech.
Beast Hunters is coming. Well played Mayans.

mmm - i will probably get bruticus but i'm guessing this version will be too pricey. Not the best rendition.. I think the original G1 was one of the most fun combiners.

i liked the wfc figures i have.. megatron and soundwave especially, prime was ok and bumblebee was well rubbish. I don't see the point of a new soundwave. Was definitely goign to get shockwave till i read the tf prime news.. ah i'll probably get both.

Airachnid.. I was excited about the prospect but i'm not liking the toy much.. will get her cos i like the character.

dreadwing's simply gorgeous. His look and feel seems to touch upon many different transformer eras... G1, Armada, Movieverse.. Prime. Me like. Me shall have.

Was thinking his sycophantic character reminded me a bit of TFA lugnut... and wish there was a lugnut in prime. The classics lugnut is still one of my favourite all time toys.
My personal prime collection so far in descending order of how great i reckon the toy is -
FE Prime, Silas Breakdown (Powerizer), Dreadwing (Powerizer), FE Bulkhead, Voyager StarScream (Powerizer), Ratchet, Soundwave, Arcee, Voyager Megatron (Powerizer), Wheeljack, Thundertron (Powerizer), Ultra Magnus (Powerizer), Knockout, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee,Airachnid

Not loving Airachnid, just way to much kibble. Dreadwing is awesome though can't wait to get him. Dead End and Bumblebee are just meh.

Airachnid has no spider form. :-(

I hope that Airachnid's propeller blades/spider legs are removable, and a third-party company makes more accurate, double-triple blades that turn into actual, long spider legs which we could use instead.

Dreadwing is gorgeous. Although...is his Mechtech ANOTHER modified version of Powerizer Optimus' weapon? I just hope he can hold it upside down, to slightly resemble his Gatling cannon.

And still nothing on Breakdown, Swerve, Jet Vehicon, and Gaea Unicron. Maybe SDCC will show more...

Dead End is an abomination! Hasbro's groin must need a sidetable to rest on seeing the sheer amount of balls it takes to release something like that.

I love it for all the wrong reasons.

I was really looking forward to Airachnid, but that figure looks terrible. I can't really tell whats going on with her arms, but it looks like something you'd find on a cyberverse figure.

Dreadwing looks great, that's bought on sight.

I actually like Dead End, I might pick him up on clearance since I've already got Wheeljack.

I thought Airachnid was supposed to be a Voyager. No? And the lack of spider form is disappointing.

Man that Bruticus still looks ugly as hell. At least colors aren't that bad, but I'm not very sad if it will be somekind of a limited hard to get release only. I just don't believe anymore that it would be mistransformed in every damn picture. Mayde it just looks crappy. The only decent thing is his torso and head. :-( This seems to be rather quiet year what comes to official toys. For me MP-10 hasbro version is the highlight of this bunch and I already have him. Well...I suppose I can save money for the next year unless there will be some interesting 3rd party stuff available for me.
