Damn. They are making Ultra Magnus a badass

....That Ultra Magnus.....I want....so bad.. ..that I am losing my grasp for the English language

Ultra Magnus and Skyquake look amazing. I'll probably hold off on Dreadwing now. While I still don't have high hopes of these making it here, at least it's good to know they're potentially in the cards.

Thundertron is unique, I like that, but as I'm not huge on the beast modes, I'll wait and see on him. There could be a cool repaint in the works or something.

That Thundertron is the secks.....I want ..

They all look so amazing. I'd have to get Thundertron. Makes me think of Beast Wars.

Want them all, SO BAD!!!

I'll have to wait and see on Thundertron. I'm sure those claws are going to be flimsy rubber and I hate that peg-leg. His beast mode legs look the same so it might be optional. Everyone else looks great.

I want my ultra ultra ultra ultra.....magnus. I want my ultra ultra ultra ultra......magnus. hasbrooooo's ultra magnus!!!! big hammer.

Thundertron looks sort of odd... But still nice. Also. Space pirate faction symbol.

I thought Hasbro would cheap out and give him a Decepticon logo.

Gonna get all of them... Of all though, Skyquake seems the nicest IMO.

Something tells me that Thundertron is going to appear in the show, seeing as he is a massively obscure character that otherwise is unnecessary for the Prime line. I hope Magnus appears as well seeing as according to his cyberverse bio he sounds like the leader of the Wreckers

Thundertron appeared in Exiles, and it's pretty odd they chose the Prime line and not WFC for him... I doubt he would appear in the show, like Dead End, Hotshot, Swerve or Smokescreen.

Well, he is in the Prime-based Asian MMORPG game.

These are awesome , and I really hope they are headed to the U.S. market. Based on not seeing Voyager Breakdown in here, I pre-ordered mine from BBTS before they sold out.

Just in case I also pre-ordered Nemesis Prime, as I really think this will only be in Japan, but worse case if things change before December, I can cancel my order.

Sky Quake, Dreadwing, and Ultra Magnus are a must buy when and if they make it to the U.S.

A NON REPAINT/REMOLD ULTRA MAGNUS? AM I DREAMING? ME WANT NOW!

Nope.

Also,

Thundertron NEEDS a robo-parrot. Actually, his whole crew should be robotic beasts like himself. Wouldn't be right if a blue-and-white mecha-lion lead a bunch of cars.

Despite being a Shrek-former I think he'd go nicely with Bludgeon and Banzaitron. But I'd never likely transform him into that God awful lion. Just the bot mode is fine. But I'm sure a Razor Claw repaint wont be far behind.

Nope.

Also,

i forgot about those toys.
i was expecting Magnus to be another repaint/remold of Optimus and i don't like repaints/remolds of Optimus to look like Magnus.

Agreed. It's a great opportunity to think outside the box when it comes to these guys and get a little crazy.

so the autobots have metroplex, and the cons have trypticon, wouldn't it be awesome for tidal wave to be a giant robot to......and we get toys of them.

I love the parrot idea.......have it transform into a deadlier peg leg hahahaha.

Well, there are only three other confirmed crew members (in the novel), plus a Decepticon: Cannonball, Sandstorm, Brimstone and Axer. So it's possible some of them may have beast forms.

The parrot idea is awesome: it could be the weapon!
(Similar to the Laserbeak on HA Soundwave, actually.)

Exiles is in the same continuity family as Prime, so chances are there'd be a TFP version of Thundertron, even if Aligned isn't just one continuity.
