So these are re-paints and re-molds right? Did they only get new head-sculpts, or are there other differences? Did even little Groove get a new face?

If Hasbro was desperate for a familiar, strong female character, why not complete the Generations Fem-bot team with MoonRacer, FireStar, Elita-1, etc., or better yet, make us an MP Arcee? Saving money by re-tooling existing CW figures was their aim, but the result is a bit disappointing.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
Check the wiki, between the text and pictures it answers all of your questions.AutobotAlvaron wrote:As I've noted elsewhere-

Comprehensive changes to bodytype aren't in the cards for a set of retools that change heads (besides Rust Dust's), sometimes chest and arm details. Works fine without it in my eyes, since Transformers are usually somewhat abstracted from the human form.AutobotAlvaron wrote:It's not speaking "fem-bot" enough to me I guess,
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fan_Built_Bot Wiki's got the details on what aspects of the toy were up for voting. What do you mean by "gimmick and a sales stunt"? Yes, it was designed to engage fans and create a product that benefits from that, while restricting the design within certain parameters (mold choice, colours, the fact it's a combiner etc).AutobotAlvaron wrote:And Hasbro claims that we fans created this? Hmm...That makes me wonder if that is the best we fans could agree upon, or if the whole "voting" thing was a gimmick and a sales stunt. That seems likely to me, but why bother, when other already existing & yet-to-be-updated gestalt teams were available?
They obviously weren't, since they created entirely new characters.AutobotAlvaron wrote:If Hasbro was desperate for a familiar, strong female character,
Hopefully we'll see all of that cool stuff at some point, but I'm glad to have some new femaleformers.AutobotAlvaron wrote:why not complete the Generations Fem-bot team with MoonRacer, FireStar, Elita-1, etc., or better yet, make us an MP Arcee?

I just have no desire to purchase this mess of aquamarine and red.

Looking at them in robot modes - I'm not seeing 'fembots'. Only so much you can do when they're based on pre-existing non-fem-bots....

The helicopter twins have completely different forearms. Instead of obnoxious missile pods, they have forearms that actually look like helicopter parts

I like the look of these gals but I have to wonder if we in the UK will ever see them

The images from Toy fair were far better and to me made her look so much better and had me more excited.

That's what you get when you have people that have BAs in Liberal Arts putting this stuff together.
