Hobbybase has updated their Facebook page yet again, this time with in-hand images of the three redeco/remolds part of wave 4 of the Beast Hunters line: Knock-Out, Arcee and Vertebreak! Check out the images mirrored below.

Crock-Out is looking good!

Knockout is now a Must-Buy for me.

Arcee is now a Won't-Buy, though. It's just kind of boring. They could have at least done something other than blue.

These all look absolutely disgusting; even Knock Out now.

This will be the first wave of the line I'll be entirely skipping.

Yeah, I wonder if the Takara version has a little more punch than the light blue, light gray, light pink interior of the figure. No contrast. :-?

Only one I like is Knock Out, but I'm passing since I already own the original PRiD Deluxe.

(please tell me im the first to make that joke)

actually very disappointed in that Arcee figure, the white plastic everywhere just dosnt work for it. maybe if they went for pink with hints of white instead of white with hints of pink

this line sucks. tf4 and the new show need to go back to quality control. no more cyberverse. and less repaints. i would say no repaints but hey. its hasbro.

Yeah, hate to say it, but the company would go under if there were no repaints. They recoup their development costs, testing, etc. through multiple releases.

On the bright side, we'd have so Seekers ... or Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen without repaints/minor retools. Necessary evil, sad to say.

I agree with you about this line though. I jumped ship a long time ago. I DO like the cyberverse stuff though. They seem to be better versions of many of the figures. Kinda odd.

i wanted arcee but these pics show me just how ugly she is. guess im just getting prowl and im done with deluxes.

When is than last wave of this crap so that I may throw a small party...

The only thing that was interesting was the little Spike figure. Which sadly isn't even real.

Actually, that Spike is legit. It comes with Masterpiece Optimus Prime, or MP10.

A lot of people have been calling him "Crock Out", and I think most of those people came up with it independently. There was also "Knockodile", though that seems less popular.
