Love the Kamen Rider cover, the Buster Optimus Prime pics, and the Alternity Bumble yellow and red pics.

At first I thought the bumblebee was gonna suck, but it's starting to grow on me...

I'm still not moved by Donald. With the prototype they've shown so far, I'm not feeling it at all.

Man, I'm on the fence again about Alternity Bumblebee. His legs and arms are okay, he's just so...fat. :shock:

Buster Optimus Prime is looking great as usual. I find the poses for Alternity BB and CJ funny...I wonder if the choice of pose was due to observations of the chunkiness of the bot modes? I still love the designs and they're going to be in my collection. :)

Surprised the images of Buster Prime and the Alternity Beetles have yet to be viewed in some sort of mass gallery. I guess TakTom is keeping security tight in their factories.

I guess this means that Japan will be getting a G1-style repaint of the EZ Constructicons, then? Or maybe just Rampage in movie-accurate red colours?

Well, we don't see a lot of unofficial images of MP figures leaking out so I wonder if there are some "more trusted" vendors they use for higher priority projects like MP, Alternity, and special pieces like Buster, ones with higher levels of security.

In fact if you notice, majority of the toys leaked out, if not all, are Hasbro version of toys.
I can't recall any Takara version or exclusive toys leak out before the release dates, maybe i am wrong. U see images of the toys when Takara decided to show it to you, not against their will.

For example, now is end of September. Takara will release the Alternity Black Megatron early October. U dont see even a screw, other than official images or images from toy fairs....

Bumblebee and Cliffjumper are looking good

I think that Bumblebees shoulders can be pushed forwards a little more though. It looks like Cliffjumper's are in a different position.

Keep in mind that Alternity BB and CJ are photographed at a sharp angle. If you were to see the figures straight on or in side profile, they'd look like their chunkier selves. I happen to like the chunky Autobot munkees so I don't mind it.

OMG. I fear that Disney label crap will have a long a life as the Star Wars Crossovers. Lord help us who hate both.

I think the Disney Label line is superior to the Star Wars crossover line simply because the SW toys are are generally good in alt mode but terrible in bot mode. The construction is also very cheap from my experience with them.

The DL toys so far at least hit the marks of visual cues in homaging Disney in both alt and bot modes. They have definite drawbacks as toys(lack of articulation, kibble up the wazoo, etc.) but they are marketed as collector toys(high price, currently produced for the Japanese market). The SW toys are found in your local retailers but wouldn't stand up to play by most kids and don't stand up as Transformers collector figures unless you're a diehard SW fan. I mean, if one likes the alt modes so much, they might as well get Star Wars vehicle toys instead as they seem to have better quality and detail in the molds.

I'm not a fan of the DL toys but I do like them for what they are. I would like them more if they were maybe Voyager class in size and were designed with more articulation.
