I can't believe I'm complaining about this given the circumstances, but Wheeljack's forehead is MASSIVE! I know he's really intelligent, but could he not come up with a way to compress all that knowledge in to a smaller head.

I like Rumble and Frenzy. I like the direction they've taken them in. Just need to figure out if I can get past the non-G1-ness of it.

Scourge is as good as bought. I don't think that's a Targetmaster though. It appears to be in the style of his G1 Targetmaster gun, but it doesn't look up to the same standards as Universe Cyclonus' Nightstick. The hinges we see are probably to transform him for storage in alt-mode. Hope I'm wrong though.

G2 Prime is a pass. Would anyone else be happy with a Motormaster repaint of this mold?

I like PE's rumble/frenzy for my neo-G1 shelf, but these two will make good on the WFC shelf

Wheeljack rocks!

If I remember correctly, a previous story said that Wheeljack is actually the original mold, and Tracks is the re-paint. Sorry, I'm too lazy to find the original story.

1: I woulda preferred a more G1-esque alt-mode for Scourge, but I'm suuuuper grateful that we're going to GET a Scourge. And it looks like he comes with a Targetmaster, no less!

This was brought up before too. I think Hasbro said that the gun is not a Targetmaster. I think it just folds up for storage in alt mode. Too bad too. Opportunity missed, methinks.

Also, the Titanium Scourge is nice as a Classics stand it. Although, I think this one is growing on me some, and may make it into my collection somewhere. At any rate, I'm too much of a completest to not get him. I just don't think I'll get a full compliment of sweeps like I did for my Titaniums. I even have repainted Classics Nightstick into Fracas, going so far as to make the head engine removable for Fracas in Hovercraft mode. I just need to trim the hand peg and drill holes in the fist. Anybody have a couple of extra hours in a day to sell me? 24 isn't enough!

Scourge is not a Targetmaster.

Wheeljack looks great, but the big forehead is kind of strange.

Scourge is surprisingly lack-luster. I was just looking at the Titanium version the other night and I think it is still the best version of Scourge.

Rumble and Frenzy do not do it for me. Too much movie look has crept into the shape of their arms and legs. I see a lot of people saying they're glad they avoided the Perfect Effect Rumble and Frenzy. Thing is, those are incredible figures and rightly sized at that. I'll of course get this new R & F, but out of curiosity not necessity.

I agree about Wheeljack's head; it looks a bit off. He's still a very nice looking figure, though I can't help but think that the grey prototype looked a lot better.

G2 Laser Rod Prime is one of the greatest TF molds in existence.

Modern take fails to come remotely close to it.

Wheeljack looks awesome. Incredible job. Rumble and Frenzy don't do it for me, but I do like the head sculpt. Scourge looks good and G2 Prime looks ok, the just look out of line. The lack of detail makes them seem displaced.

love how they turned tracks gun into wheeljack should cannon and tracks should cannons into wheel jacks wrenches

Yeah when I first heard about this guy, from the descriptions from those who saw him, it sounded like he'd be "just like the original". Then when I saw him it kind of took me by surprise, because I was expecting a downsized Laser Prime. This might have made a good DOTM deluxe Prime, because he looks kind of modernized and movie-like in my opinion. I think I'll still buy both him and Scourge, but I think I'd rather find a nice Laser Prime on ebay or something. My friend has RID Scourge and I keep trying to give him offers for it. It's just a great mold, and I don't care what the G2 bashers say.

Wheeljack- Better than expected. This'll be my first Wheeljack! Yes!!!!
Frenzy and Rumble- They look great! Neat tank modes. But are they supposed to be a set or sold separately?
Scourge- Looks really awesome. This'll be my first Scourge too.
Optimus Prime- Ehh...I expected him to look more like the original Laser Prime, but I'll definitely buy him to fill the spot of G1/G2 Prime since I don't have any versions of him. He looks movie-like, too. He could stand in for movie Ultra Magnus, maybe?
