What the hell is up with Blackout? He looks like crap. Ironhide looks OK but i already have him and i plan on picking up the blue one anyway.

Um... I think I actually like the non-premium versions better, especially Blackout.

Megs is the only premium figure that I'm interested in. I held off buying the ugly non-premium one because I saw a recolor coming a mile away. These others aren't much of an improvement, me thinks.

They really should've hired Jin to design these!

I-) zzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZ

I have yet to be impressed with any of the movie figures. I bought Blackout on a whim since he was my favorite character in the movie, but was so displeased with the crappy "auto morph technology" that I refuse to buy anymore.

BRING ON THE CLASSICS 2.0 !!

Glad I passed on Blackout now, this one looks much better. I wonder if we’ll get premium game characters and protoforms?

I have a blog now, about robots. I ramble a lot, but I also try to keep it interesting, and put up good pictures of different things. If you think that's cool, click here, or on the pic.

I never picked up Blackout so I'll probably pick up this one. I love his paint apps in alt mode but his bot mode paint apps leave something to be desired.
Blecch to Ironhide. I already have the first Voyager release and the paint apps are much better on that version.

I guess these guys will be good for those who missed them previously (and who still want Blackout for some strange reason...)

Just not enough of a difference to make them even a possible purchase.

Blackout is less impressive than I was expecting.
though I like the metallic Scorponok and I haven't bought a Blackout yet.
This Ironhide looks less movie accurate than the original. And I already got an Ironhide.

What' the difference between that Blackout and the exclusive Takara one that you could get if you purchased the Transformers Movie in Japan?

They appear very similar.
