I went looking for CW this morning but found Kreon Warriors instead.
While I wasn't too worried about this "Timelines" set I thought why not and bought 4 packs.
Pack 1:
Looks like.....
Gladiator Bumblebee.
First things first, it looks like we have a new baseplate to replace the 2x4 bricks.
It looks clean without the paint application that looks bad on many of the bricks.
Part count wise, we are looking at similar numbers to Lego blind packs as these are not Micro-changers, so instructions really are required here.
Not a bad looking figure, and I like the shield decoration, but the cart wheels for the legs seems unnecessary.
Pack 2:
Outriders beware it's Ramrod... Err Wild West Optimus.
Apparently Prime is decoed to transform into a stagecoach, which I did not expect but gives it a good western feel. The wheels that i had an issue with on Bee work well here, and i'm liking that the traditional head deco is transferred to the hat. Unfortunately his iconic stacks which are included seem redundant.
Pack 3:
Crossing the Pacific it's Samurai Prime.
There is nothing wrong with this piece, but it's just not doing anything for me. It looks good, but with Movie Drift already on the shelf, it just doesn't work as well.
Pack 4:
and finally... crap.. a double of WW Op. Oh well...
An interesting side line, I'll likely buy a few more but i'm in no rush to do so. Wild West Prime is the hilite so far,and Gladiator Bumblebee while not exciting is pretty nice. Samurai Prime is a bit of a pass but they can't all be winners.
