It's too bad I'm not fond of the whole "camera" theme... because these look really well done.

I'm in. Preordered and stayin' that way. I LOVE the bot modes. I have the PE version of Reflector and as neat as it is, I was incredibly underwhelmed. This is the kind of homage to Reflector I've been waiting for.

Well played TFC...Well played.. Let everybody else make a sub stanbdard version of something then step in and make it better..Well played...

Dont like. That is definitely "not Reflector". Any less G1 and it could be a Hasbro product. The PE version was by far the superior of the two. It's a shame PE didnt go scout size though...

looks decent in both modes. the size is good, but like they've done with Devy, and as Rated X says, it is a very Hasbro-esque updated interpretation of the concept. Almost like the mother of all Real Gears. Quite underwhelmed that there doesn't seem to be much in the way of accessories, what with the big ol chunk of lens there. I passed on the PE version because it was tiny tiny tiny, but at least there was a lot of playability with that one.

The lens has a seam in the middle. It splits apart and all the other bits turn into weapons and such. I saw a video from TFCon I believe that showed at least a bit of it. I'm sure TFC just haven't revealed everything it can do yet.

The camera mode is supposed to be "NEO" but is already out-dated. Who uses cameras like that other than paparazzi or foreign tourists ? They got the robot size right, but they really should have gone G1. The Hercules bot modes werent this far off from the cartoon. You cant have both modes "NEO" at least Hasbro makes the robot modes look G1 cartoon accurate.

Had they made the heads cartoon accurate, it would have been enough to make this truly must buy. I think there's enough there in the robot modes to evoke the cartoon, save for the heads. Unfortunately, the heads are one of the most important things.
