Hm, new Bumblebee mold. And this one has an axe. Pretty cool, I like it.
I like the colours on Jetblade a bit more than Dirge, so I guess I'll get him instead. And it was odd that he was Dirge and looked so different from the current seekers (well except Thrust). I think the mold suits a new character well.
Ironhide looks OK as well. I kind of like that he has the same sense of look as the deluxe Ratchet. I also like the look of his weapon.
Thrust, very cool.
Drift also looks very cool. With 3 swords (well, 1 and 2 daggers) and a sleek robot and vehicle mode, he looks like great figure. I'm surprised but definitely happy that they decided to make him.

Jetblade = Ramjet to me. And I actually like the mold, so hey.

Thrust will, WILL be mine!

And as for Drift... I'm sorry, but he's just too much of a Gary Stu for me to take seriously. Decent bot, though, still might get it - but if I ever write anything, he'll be a legend in his own mind.

- Yet another yellow Camaro. Yawn. At least they made a new mould this time, but there are more than enough versions of the smegging character already!
- That baby-blue jet just looks pug-fugly. Do not want!
- After the badass Voyager Rambotruck version of the pickup, do we really need a Deluxe of him? The arms seem rather gimpy, too...
- I looked at Thrust and now I have to change my pants. Booyeah, Classics Thrust without having to pay RapeDollars(TM) for him!
- Drift Mary Sue looks okay. I think I'll get him so Bludgeon can have another Weeabot to hang out with.

BB:
Drift: I'm going to get him. Mold's nice to me.
Ironhide: Don't like hands, rest is fine.
Everyone else: Pass, I think.

Bumblebee, looks like they chopped off his upper body and replaced it. Ironhide I might actually get because that's pretty sweet looking for a delux figure. Jetblade I'm liking, always good for the Decepticons to have more jets. Thrust and Drift are both looking pretty sweet to me too.

THRUST?! They're releasing Henkei Thrust over here?! I'm a little mad now. Not because they're releasing him over here, but because they can rerelease BotCon Seekers, but I can't get a **** BotCon BW Megatron, Waspinator, and Tigatron without dropping a few grand on them on eBay! It's nice that the G1 fans can get all these great repaint homages, new molds, reissues, etc. But the BW fans, are totally left out in the cold. Universe Cheetor was a joke. Dinobot was mediocre at best. And things like Stalker Scorponok and Reverb, I didn't even know they were supposed to be homages until I read about them on the wiki. Come on, Hasbro! Beast Wars SAVED the Transformers brand. There might not have even been a TF movie if it wasn't for for BW pulling the brand back from the void. It feels like they don't even want to acknowledge it. Give me a new Dinobot with a sword and spinning blade shield. Give me a new Megatron that doesn't require you to shove something up his ass to fire his missile. Give me a new Cheetor that actually has a gun, not Ani Prowls throwing stars! Give me a new Optimus Primal that his arm blasters, swords, shoulder cannons, and a jet pack, and not a stupid surfboard! Or even just give us some characters you haven't done yet. Like Terrorsaur with his gun and shoulder cannons. Or a Rhinox with his machines guns.

Was not expecting that Thrust. Definitely a must-get for me. I've only ever gotten two classics seekers, Starscream and Ramjet, and I could always do with more. Plus he's my favourite conehead.
As for the others, in order:
Bumblebee: Axe is cool, but new mold or not, we don't need another.
Jetblade: Interesting name, liked the colours better as Dirge, though.
Ironhide: Want, planning to have a dlx version of every first movie autobot. (With Prime being substituted with the Protoform version)
Drift: Biggest fanboy wankjob ever, but I'll get him and pair him with U-Hot Shot.

Keep 'em coming, Hasbro, and I will keep giving you money... bastards.

You know....UltraPrimal you're kinda right, I didn't see the Stalker Scorponok as a reference either, I just thought "Oh! Let's give him a cool figure so we don't release him!"

As far as IronHide and Dirge...I mean...(whatever his name is) well, Ironhide's voyager is both in scale and movie accurate while Dirge(I mean new guy)'s face is too ugly!

As for the new Bumblebee thing, I(as a rookie TF collector and fan so don't hold me to this) see two main problems:1.if Bumblebee generally sells to little kids, why make a 60 buck one that little kids can't buy? and 2.There are too many Bumblebee molds already......


And somehow after all these awesome yet totally random new toys...I still haven't given up on a bigger movie Blackout and BoneCrusher9even though the odds of those being made is.....small).
