Windcharger vs Corhada

Cohrada, it's a reference to this guy

Yeah, that's what surprises me.

Not-Sinnertwin looks fun, but advertising "dragon heads for hands" seems a little too self aware, given that it's not a popular design decision. I'll eat my best hat if there isn't a Doublecross repaint later down the line.

The Cyberverse stuff is all nice but it's not really what I'm interested in.

NOT liking Bumblebee and Wheeljack STEALTH FORCE XXXXXXTREME!!!!, and look forward to the wave being made of 3 Bees, 2 WJs, 2 Sinnertwins and one of that poor Lazerback guy who actually looks pretty cool. Soundwave looks alright for a retool too.

Voyager Predaking: pretty pointless if there's going to be a leader version and if he is canonically a big guy.

Kre-o: Even I have kind of lost interest in these and I loved them to begin with.

That Omega Supreme looks pretty cool, especially since I never got a previous version of this guy. If this is a collector version rather than a version advertised to kids Energon's Fatty Prime was a bad choice given the lack of fan-love, and the number of times he was released before.

Great coverage and pictures Seibertron! I'm very interested in some of your postings during the Q&A. How exactly did they tease about a US Smokescreen release?

Also, is there a Hasbro booth set up after the panel that will display the actual figures from the slideshow?

And the US packaging will shrink like it has already shrunk in Europe. Lovely.

From what I understand, they're not retoolings. They're new molds. At least, that's what I thought they said.

Someone asked about it, then Jerry said something to the effect of "hmm ... he might look good as a deluxe figure. Do you guys think he would look good as a deluxe figure?" It was a typical tease answer.

to the best of my knowledge, no there is not.

I see an awful lot of similarities between the new toys and the RiD molds though, especially in Soundwave and Bumblebee's chest.

# Sgt Kup and Rumble last two figures before Beast Hunters

This has me concenerd what about the voyager Ultra Magnus.

Can't say I'm crazy about the direction Beast Hunters is headed as far as the non-Predacons are concerned, but it's not like I really cared about the Prime line before. Might get some of the more interesting Beasts.

The Kreon Micro-changers look to be greatly improved.

He'll almost certainly be released at this point. If anything they'd just stick him in the new packaging.

Bumblebee and Soundwave look like the same molds to me, with extra accessories. I (sarcastically) like how Hasbro's using this as an excuse to release the same characters AGAIN instead of giving us figures of ones we still haven't seen.

I also like (again, sarcasm) how Cyberverse Airachnid has pretty much the same articulation as the Deluxe. Total fail.

Anyway, I'm skeptical but not against this line. As we can see there will still be vehicle TFs, so I'll pick up any new characters I'm interested in. No interest whatsoever in buying new versions of the same Prime characters I already have though.

Universe Platinum sounds cool as long as they aren't exclusives that are ridiculously difficult to get. The GDOs are okay but everyone's having a heck of a time trying to find Wheelie. If they had proper even case assortments and decent stock levels, it wouldn't be a problem.

wow. look at all of those shelf warmers. i will get maybe 2 or 3 of these. what a horrible line. you know beast wars show may not have had that many characters on the show. but at least the toy line had a plentiful selection. this is pathetic.
