Previously we got images of Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee, and now we've got more featuring the rest of the new Autobot Alliance line. The pictures previewed are not going to be the final colors of these figures, as Takara says they will differ from those of Hasbro. Courtesy of Ngeekhiong, check them out below!

So the preview pics are of the American-release color schemes, informing Japanese fans of their existence...and leaving us to wonder just how different they'll be.

This mostly makes me hope Hasbro answers that question in the Q&A thread about who decides what's right for the North American vs. Asian markets.

That said, this could be good news for people clamoring for a wide variety of repaints of these guys, especially Terradive (I want him in mint-green and white). It'd also be cool if they repainted Higbrow to look like the planes in the 1943/Strikers arcade game series. Or is there another particular game his steampunkish take on a P-38 more strongly resembles? I guess I'd just like the 2 planes to more or less have their colors swapped.

I think I'm the only one, but I just do not like Highbrow. It's that stupid grin... If it wasn't for that, I would be a bigger fan.

You're not the only one who doesn't like Highbrow's face. Otherwise, he's a great figure.

I'm hoping there's a remold in the future for him.

Are you certain that it is a grin? It doesn't look like a grin to me when the mask is up. It looks like the mask just covers up his top lip when it is down causing him to sort of just look as if he is grinning.

Either way, it is my favorite figure out of the all. In fact, it is the only one of these figures that I will consider buying if/when I see them in person. I won't be going too far out of my way to find any of them though.

I think it was Autobot032 that recently made a few statements regarding the design looking very "crossover"-ish. I agree with that view. Especially with Terradive. That is a figure that I will pass on with zero problem-it just doesn't look like a "Transformer" to me.

I do like Tomahawk quite a bit, but I really don't get a rise out of helicopters. So, I guess that's a pass.

Hailstorm is not my cup of tea either, but I think he is intersting. I absolutely despise the back of the missiles hanging out the back of the launchers though. Looks cheap. I completely love the name though. That name is freaking tough.

Does anyone else think that the Hailstorm mold would make a great Roadbuster re-deco (with a different head of course) :grin:
