Ooooh, I'm really digging that AoE Hound. Even with the box art showing that ridiculous beard and cigar. Two machine guns, a pistol and knife? Definitely picking that one up. I wonder if they fit into the robot mode somewhere, looks like they just left the extras from the second figure lying on the display.

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD...DAT G1 AoE Optimus Prime! I love it! That just made my day.

As for the rest of the AoE, some are great, some are "meh." I like the '67 Camaro Bumblebee. The Corvette bot (I can't figure out who he's supposed to be) looks weird in vehicle mode, but the robot mode is okay. Drift looks like I expected him to, and Galvatron looks like a Chinese knock off. At least they got rid of MechTech.

Generations looks hit or miss. The only one I want is Jetfire.
Please note: If you think I may be joking, I probably am.

... or sgt. Mcslinkyarms... those arms are the only thing about this figure that bothers me... most especially the fact they're on pieces that are clearly supposed to peg into the torso and someone left them unpegged, who do they even hire to put up their displays?!

Went through the galleries again. If there's one thing that kills me on Drift, it's his deco. He's clearly primarily black with some teal accents; where did the dark blue come from? :???:

I'm also really digging Crosshairs. Awesome coattails are awesome! :grin:

Skipping on Bumblebee, as usual. I'm happy with my 2007 Camaro Concept Deluxe.

I seriously want to know what's up with Hound's arms. Perhaps there's some sort of punchy gimmick? :-?

I'm digging Evasion Mode Optimus's vehicle mode... not so much his robot mode. His arms are what gets me. They look... bland.
They call me “Tanker Chungus”!

Am I the only one worried that there are so many toys of the Autobots and Dinobots, but almost none of the Decepticons? I'm worried this means the majority of them will be God-Awful protoforms...

Toy Fair 2014 Coverage - Rescue Bots and Mr. Potato Head

Motto: "Increase efficiency.... Or be terminated."
Weapon: Shoulder-Mounted Mega-Blast Missile Cannons
Continuing Seibertron.com's coverage of the New York Toy Fair, we have some Rescue Bots news for you! We had been teased the Rescan line and the new dinosaur modes for Heatwave, Chase and Optimus Primal, but feast your eyes below on some more updated bots, including Blades as an airplane. We also have a look at the new line of Mr. Potato Head toys, featuring Potato Head Starscream and even Potato Head Optimus riding Grimlock (of course.)

Ah, so Blades gets new plane, and pterosaur toys. A little odd that the former showed up on the Rescue-Dino packaging mural. Between those two toys, Blades is now who our new, orangier Jhiaxus will keep reminding me of, leaving the mantle of "Vehicon Sunstorm" strictly on his decade-old K.B. toy.

Oh, and finally "EPIC" is a class of figure! The only word for that is...TITANic. Show-accurate, and you can see the play value for kids who want the bots so properly interact with the Burnses, but all I can think of when I see their chests open is Only Human, and think Dr. Morocco has packed them with explosives to destroy Griffin Rock. I'll have to see the Bots' minfigs inside themselves so I'll be able to think of Being John Malkovich instead.

man those AoE figures are complete garbage, that cabover prime is kinda cool but where the hell are the paint apps? Im not paying top dollar for unpainted pieces of crap. The generations look pretty good but im only going to pick up skyfire & maybe skybite, not spending a bunch of money on hasbro until they get their **** together. And is there a price for MP grimlock? I still want one but the first one was extremely overpriced & the current MPs are as well. But from what ive seen so far im going to be saving a hell of a lot of money this year.
