Crosscheck wrote:I must say that I actually like the new animated toys. They do look just like their show counterparts, and that is a good thing. I really like Bumblebee and Prime. If we get all the Dinobots, I will be happy beyond belief. The Cons look nice too, especially Starscream.

That is a very agreeable statement. These animated toys look almost spot on to their cartoon versions (probably becase of simplicity, and obviously advancedment in toy technology), and I think that is defiantly key. And I didn't even think aabout the Dinobot toys, oh my god, i hope they have all 5. OH MY GOD now I'm REALLY friggin excited lol

I like that Dune Buggy thing actually. I'd pass on the others..

As for the repaint g1 Prime, I'd get it if I don't already have Voyager Prime by then.

Sorry, didn't see the thread way down there. I'll credit you anyway since your story was posted before my news entry.

First Strike Prime: Meh a little plain looking. I already have Robovision Prime, no need for a second voyager figure. Pass.

Cliffjumper: So far looks pretty cool. Would have been great to have had a new head mold. Hasbro should start making extra heads for the inevitable repaints. I will probably pick up.

Landmine: A really great looking figure. I will definately pick up. I hope the gun in alt mode can be used in bot mode.

Evac: Cool repaint and the life raft and new head sculpts are definate pluses. I will pick this one up.

Incinerator: He looks pretty cool but I hope the propeller blades can bend to become fingers. That would really make the figure shine.

Stockade: Looks really good in both modes. I'll pick this one up too.

Nightwatch Prime: Pass. An unenspriring and boring paint job. I don't need another Leader Class Prime.

Desert Attack Brawl: His new paint scheme is really well done and looks cool. I totally hate the clear blue pieces though. I probably will get the original release of this guy and might pick up this one if I see it on clearance.

Movie figures - pass. Don't like bayformers.

Animated - Very disappointed. Skipping this line completely.

Universe Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and Octane - I won't only buy them, I'll buy extras!

thank you! i finally have a news thing on the front page!

The reason Optimus has 'too much red' is because of the way he transforms. If his legs had more blue, then the truck mode would also have more blue and look bad. Personally, I'm really digging it. REALLY digging it! I'll have to add some paint apps (silver on biceps, maybe the yellow triangles on the arms) and possibly remould him with clay to get rid of that damn useless ugly gap that needlessly splits his chest in two.

that g1 prime looks aweful.
it really, just doesn't work.
i'm not a fan of any of the g1 color schemes on the movie. at this point, i think the two should be seperate.

Congrats Muffin, you got your wish! And so did I, I did say I would get the toy even without ball jointed ankles, but the fact that he does have them is a huge bonus!

Cliffjumper looks so awful. Some other times I don't care that he is just repainted bumblebee, but this is so not good looking at all.

i do like the red prime version probally the only i might buy i like some of the others but none that would make me want to get to my collection anyone else notice that helicopter diont know his name has blackout body just repainted in differnt colors.

Cliffjumper just doesn't work in this mode. Bumblebee, yes. Cliffjumper, no. A small compact, not a hot car. The others I can deal with.

I like. Very very much like. Save for Brawl and Nightwatch, these are all sure buys for me.

landmine and stockade look really easy to convert!

Landmine and Stockade look cool, i want those, the rest looks like crap. How can Hasbro even consider releasing this neon waste of plastics? Btw i hope Stockade is in scale with the movie figs, he looks too good not to be a Voyager class sized figure.

They look great! Bar Nightwatch Prime and Desert Attack Brawl.

The S7 Buggy Landmine is superb, even if it is a muted grey.

stupid HASBRO I just preordered the TAKARA version of bumblebee because they didn't release enough 08 camaro versions stateside - way to shortpack the main character in the movie dumbassses

The G1 inspired Prime is very poor, the red and blue are all mixed together, they should be solid blocks of red, white & blue like G1 Prime had.

Cliffjumper... yawn, the red is alittle dull and doesn't suit the mold that well and they didn't change the head sculpt

Evac's colours are horrible but the alt mode works well as a sort of coast guard chopper or whatever and the retooled head is good - retools are aways welcome, I'll pass though.

Landmine's alt mode is great, the bot modes abit average and what sort of face is that? - I hope he can hold the gun that's mounted top of the buggy.

Incinerator's bot mode likes pretty simple for a Voyager and the lack of hands is dumb but over all I like him, the head looks great.

Meh, nothin there is that great - I'd rather have more Classics.

I think these all look cool but Im sick of seeing pics of toys online but never seeing them available to purchase unless I look on ebay and you would have to big $80 - $120 on a toy that should only cost around ten. I still have not seen Payload, Dropkick, Long Arm, Bumblebee Deluxe concept around town. And here's a bunch more......uggggggghh. Do I sound as insane as I feel? Booyah!!!

Leonardo wrote:Ah, the obvious Bumblebee to Cliffjumper repaint! The comfort of the familiar.

First Strike Optimus looks a bit too red in robot mode.

One repaint later ...


Still looks OK in truck mode to me

I want that G1 paint style prime!

Wow, Desert Brawl looks awesome. Loving the blue parts. Night Attack Prime looks like a goth Ultra Magnus. Horrible.

Not Bad at all!

Skowl wrote:My thoughts:

First Strike Prime: I see what they were trying to do... I don't think it really worked out, plus the Voyager Prime mold really isn't that great.!

Flames can hide flaws behind the mask of too much going on..still it's not a bad Prime mold..

Skowl wrote:Cliffjumper: Yawn... saw this one coming a mile away... I'll pass..

Saw it coming, but I'll still get it..they'll look nice beside each other or in altmode at the ends of my DVD collections of Transformers..

Skowl wrote:Landmine: Cool vehicle mode, robot sucks - that head is awful.

No way man!! I disagree with you here... it's like a realistic version of the G-1 Beachcomber head!!

Skowl wrote:Evac: Awesome! Brilliant idea for a repaint! And (according to the Botcon photos) he has a new head sculpt and a lifeboat instead of mini-Scorponok. Loved the Cybertron Evac character, nice to see an non-G1 homage for a change...

Yes he's freaking awesome!! .....what is this??? He's gonna be a Mass retail sell not a Botcon exclusive??? I'm gonna pass out!!! ok so seriously, that was my last Botcon shot...until next year..Heh Heh Heh

Skowl wrote:Incinerator: Awesome! One of my favourite movie-line toys yet. Love the Osprey, and that bot mode kicks ass!

I love it too, but I'm just a little unsure about him just having blades for hands..reminds me of Edward scissorhands..but as a big ass freaking robot!!

Skowl wrote:Stockade: Best name ever. Vehicle mode looks great and the bot is cool. I like what I see so far!

one of the best Non-movie Bots I have seen yet!!

Skowl wrote:Nightwatch Prime: Yawn... pass.

It's a shameless repaint, but what can I say, I love that Leader class Optimus Prime mold!!!

Skowl wrote:Desert Attack Brawl: Cool repaint, I like the blue parts (though I'm sure alot of people won't) - don't know why they repainted the Leader Brawl so soon, and I don't know if that was a great idea, the regular Leader Brawl may not sell too well. Still, nice redeco, if I was rich and had more display room I'd pick him up!

Well I for one am glad they decided to release him in Desert Camno as well as Jungle.. it means more on the shelf for me to buy.. and yes I'd buy them both, next to Prime's Toy Mold, this Brawl is completely FABUless!!

I'm getting them all!!!
