Wow, Lockdown and Brawn look amazing. Lockdown is one of the few Animated figures I never caved on, but I may rectify that.

Wow...

Brawn is just flipping awesome...

Combined mode for Skystalker is kinda lame...reminds me a little of the old GIJoe Night Raven. Figure is nice though. Looking forward to this wave.

Does anyone know if Dirge has been released yet?

Brawn looks like Longarm on steroids and Skystalker looks like Shockwave.

Who's Divebomb that Skystalker's bio is referring to?

I don't know why people are so into lockdown? I just can't see the attraction.

Brawn's a must have for me though, maybe Skystalker

Personally, I like unconventional designs so Lockdown is the type of character I gravitate towards.

I like the way that the alt mode is a spiky muscle car. I also like the way that the bot mode is spiky, tall and lanky, and Frankenstein-esque. The hook hand adds to the unconventional design for a Transformer where most designs are mainly symmetrical. The green, black, silver, red, and gold colour scheme works for me on this figure because it's an over-the-top design, even by TFA standards. It also works for the RotF version of the character, which for better or worse, is more TFA than RotF in its aesthetics.

Brawn and Skystalker are a must buy! but in my opinion lockdown and ratchet are just ugly.

Man I hope that Ratchets vehicle mode isn't too out of scale. Also, I'm loving the movie Lockdown... Aw helll I like them all and I need them all!

Lockdown and Skystalker look great, must haves along with Bludgeon, Dirge, Mindwipe, Leader Starscream. Aww hell, all the decepticons I don't own yet. Ratchet looks god-awful, never liked him anyways, the only Ratchet I have is Desert Rescue or whatever from ROTF and that's 'cause somebody gave it to me. Brawn is pretty cool and Armorhide is just awesome.

Brawn and Lockdown looks effing sweet. Skystalker looks good too. Ratchet actually looks better than his Voyager versions.

I'm also loving how they are putting some effort into the card back bios to make some ties between characters so things are more interesting. Bludgeon and the new Ironhide, Dirge & Armorhide, stealing from TFA for Ratchet and Lockdown, Skystalker's mentions the new Scattorshot, and so on

I've been pretty negative about Transformer releases recently, but Brawns robot mode is super sexy. His generic military truck thing mode looks fine, but it's not really my bag.

Lockdown looks odd...too cartoony for the movie line, too realistic for Animated.

I'm bitter about the fact that they brought the name "Mindwipe" back, but then made him a Mindwipe in name only. If I think of these stealth plane guys as new characters rather than a Mindwipe update though, they look pretty good. I hope that now Hasbro's brought back the name they do something more...homagey with it.

Man, I can't tell you how much I'm lovin' Brawn's robot mode. Wow, that looks good! One of the best ROTF robot mode thus far, I say.

Ratchet: Maybe

Everyone else: Come to poppa!

i like the idea of a deluxe ratchet but its too small and alittle too kibbly on the uderside unlike his 1st movie counterpart. nice, but ill stick with size over accuracy. the legs on the 1st one arent even that bad.

Now THAT'S a Brawn that won't get taken down by a shoulder hit...and Lockdown is awesome!

probably the best wave so far..although not for everyone..i still getting Ratchet though coz he has gun, unlike the voyager mold

*sighs* I had hope for some of those figures, but Ratchet looks worse, now that I've seen him in these pictures.

Brawn just lost any points with me.

The only hope is Lockdown, and even he looks rather bad. I might buy it in support of Animated only.

Thoroughly unimpressed.

That's my criticism of the toy when I look at it objectively. The figure doesn't seem to fit in either line.

If I'm remembering correctly, didn't they make Lockdown to be compatible with Ratchet, like in Animated?

BRAWN does remind me of MAN AT ARMS from HeMan MOTU...very cool figure

That's what we've been told.

Aargh! I'm sold on all of 'm, Brawn looks super awesome. I get the same vibe of 'm like Cybertron Defense Hotshot.
Combat Aurobots

Pretty cool.

Like that Lockdown. Hated the head on his Animated incarnation, reminded me of the hated Armada Scavenger. This head looks a lot cooler.

Ratchet is my favourite Movie Autobot so will probably pick him up.

Skystalker is nice too. Like the Shockwave/Payload type heads.
