Out of curiosity, how does that Omega Supreme measure up to the WfC/FoC molds?

He's as tall as Armada Unicron, Supreme Class.

Yes yes YES YES!

Oh man all those retools are GORGEOUS! I have a total weakness for spiky armor, and I'm getting a total Monster Hunter vibe all over the place! DAT WHEELJACK MAN!

Also, anybody else notice Roadbuster Bulkhead's Dovahkiin helmet? I'm sold on it, Legion Bee, probably Smokescreen, and Airachnid for sure(so SO much better than the deluxe)! As well as Deluxe Wheeljack, oh MAN! Deluxe Bee even looks AMAZING. I'm so glad I passed on the original now (snagged Dead End though, because that's a sweet, sweet mold is toxic orange and green).

And OMEGA FREAKING SUPREME! Energon Optimus looks great too, but dat OMEGA SUPRME!

Hasbro, you blew my mind!

/fangasm

Lazerback?

Allow me to get Lazerback and Laserbeak mixed up, thx.

Love, that, Wheeljack. I'll get dat Soundwave for the Ravage.

Teased Deluxe Smokescreen. Hell yes. Now give us Insecticon and Shockwave and you'll make my day.

I'll have to see Predaking's scale with the others in the show before I make the decision to go with the Voyager or Leader class.

Bumblebee looks.......cool. I love his crossbow.

Hmm. I like the Cybeverse Airachnid, despite her being rather inaccurate. I won't get my hopes up.

Beast Hunters Deluxe Wave 1 is looking cool. I might just pick them all up or resort to eBay, because I only want Soundwave & Bumblebee for their accessories, in which I'll put with others.

I'll also be picking up that Cyberverse Smokescreen. The Apex Armor looks.......okay.......it shouldn't be with Breakdown, though. Ah well, just like the Energon Driller shouldn't be with Knock Out.

I'll be damned if I didn't already have the original versions of Omega Supreme and Optimus.

I hate to admit it, but that Optimus in G1 colors would make a great stand-in for the forever-empty spot for a G1-based Optimus to duke it out with my Classics Megatron.

Omega Supreme is just.... beyond words. I would have never guessed a slight remolding of the head and claw. Would look nice on my Classics shelf. Now give us a Decepticon to duke it out with him!

This "Platinum Edition" intrigues me. The lover of Classics figures within me is Starscream-ing for G1-inspired characters.

Could really care less for the Prime line at this point. Again, the stupid price spike is forcing me to be very selective with my purchases.

Still crossing fingers for a domestic release of MP Soundwave plus Casseticons.

Images of OS/OP's packaging, please?

G1-inspired FOC Bruticus? Sign me up! Can't stand the retail's current colors. Means I can give my wallet a break after Halo 4.

Just thinking about 2014's "big surprise" just makes me want to go all-out Stewie Griffin and build a time machine.

WANT

Holy crap its Sinnertwin, never thought in a million years he'd be back. Looks like theres at least one transformer ill be buying next year. All the legions look pretty good actually (except for predaking that is) might just stick to collecting them, well as long as the price doesnt go up. $5 is still a bit of a rip off for em but they're still not overly overpriced like deluxes & commanders. I am interested in that Soundwave but only if the price drops, never will i pay $15 for a deluxe. What is this Transformers legends about? is it a new toyline or just really badass artwork? Trading cards perhaps? But with that aside if hasbro wants this version of the toyline to be successful they better actually ship stuff out and lower the prices otherwise they're going to lose money just like they did this year. The TF sections in the stores here have been empty for months but they still continue to raise the prices even thought theres nothing there to sell.

Indeed :\ The pricing nonsense has gotten out of hand. Yeah, retailers have made it worse, but the $15 price point was straight from Hasbro, and that's bad enough, especially with the smaller size! I've only been collecting the legion figures lately (not that I've bought much), and I'm quite happy with the way Flamewar came out, it's great. Also, GDO Laserbeak was a pleasant surprise.

I'm not a big fan of seeing the toys before the show or movie (or the season, in this case). It keeps me on the fence. The fence is not my favorite place to be.

any idea where omega supreme will be found, i really want that one. i actually do hope they wait til early 2013 to release him though, for the sake of my wallet. voyager Predaking and legion twinstrike interest me, but the others ill have to wait and see for

BBTS/Amazon exclusive

Energon Love. Awesome Omega and Prime are as good as bought.

The beast hunter Predacons have some interesting concepts, but nothing really pulling me towards them.

Tons of cool new reveals, but not quite as many as I was hoping for.

Who is the bot in the top right of the sound wave slide... Looks a bit megatronish?

The third one looks like sky quake/dreadwing the 4th is unrecognisable

Top is Bumblebbe, 3rd is Wheeljack, 4th is Lazerback. (new mold)

Comparing them point by point to their counterparts from the 2012 lines, they are indeed retools. They are EXTENSIVE retools, but retools nonetheless. The proportions are identical, parts appear to move in the same ways, all the panelings are the same, except now they're covered in spikes and other details and include new headsculpts and new weapons.

Sabrblade wrote:Tons of cool new reveals, but not quite as many as I was hoping for.

Well, comparing with last year's NYCC, it seems about the same. We saw First Edition and RID Wave 1 Deluxe, Commander, and Legion. Deluxe waves 2 and 3, and voyager wave 2 weren't shown off until Cybertron Con and Toy Fair. So I think those events in 2013 are where we can expect to see the next waves of this line. It's not a lot, especially since 3 out of every 4 figures are retools, but New Features (spikes and weaponry) + New Packaging = New Toy for Hasbro, so it's understandable.

Cheers! I scrolled down too fast and didn't see bumblebees slide.. That should've made it obvious... Mmm I mistook a dark grey bumblebee for megs. Well done me.

OMG... What the hell were Hasbro thinking with these? Everything with these Beast Hunters just looks terrible. The spikey armor, weapons that look worse than mech tech and they just look absolutely crap.

When the best toys in the show are two repaints of Energon figs, things are not looking good for the franchise. The best thing about the upcomming releases is that I can save cash on these train wrecks and buy Encore Fortress Maximus. Again, an old G1 brick actually interests me more than the bile that Hasbro is planning to unleash.

Crap, the prime figs have been retooled to make them look like they come from DOTM's wreckers team...

And is that...SMOKESCREEN?

Legion Class, not Deluxe Class I'm afraid.

BeastProwl wrote:

Two.

Oh yeah, Legion Smokescreen, something I noticed

His legs are nearly identical to Knock Out, suggesting this is a massive retool and re-engineering of Cyberverse Knock Out.

Which means, if we get a Deluxe Smokescreen, with the possibility of having a new mold, we could get an extensive retool and re-engineering of Deluxe Knock Out. Just like Japan.

Well, at least we now know Hasbro is capable of re-engineering their Knock Out toy to accommodate Smokescreen.

What the hell have they done to Bumblebee? He looks ridiculous. I hope Hasbro doesn't think this is a valid reason to overfill assortments with him.

Trikeboy wrote:...weapons that look worse than mech tech and they just look absolutely crap.

A spring-loaded missile-launching crossbow, a grabber claw, a firing disc on a stick, and a spring-loaded gun that don't dig into the plastic limits (because these figures clearly have more plastic than this year's offerings) are worse than the mechtech weapons that didn't lock into place? I'm not seeing your logic.

Some of us actually like that. I expect kids will eat this right up, which is the goal.
