Wait, let me guess; the BB BB head has a face-plate, which had to be taken out to save costs for the stupid mechtech gimmick.

The wreckers are looking good, especially the blue one.

Shockwave's a keeper, unless they come up with a leader class.

Jolt's not bad, but I'm not sure if I'll be picking him up.

I'd like to see more pics of the chopper [Topspin?]

Bumblebee has a totally new movie-accurate headsculpt to my knowledge. It looks similar to the BB BB head but I'm not sure if it's the same one or a new one.

And the helicopter is Skyhammer. Topspin is the blue gun-loaded stock car.

Yeah, I rechecked the pic, and it looks like a new sculpt. The face-plate looks like its gone, as the black painted-on "eye-guards" aren't there any more. Then again, the fig looks like a prototype, with missing paint apps all over. At least I HOPE it's a prototype; the leg parts that are supposed to be metal [gray] are unpainted yellow.

And thanks for the heads-up on Skyhammer.

Shockwave looks superb!!! It is the first "Bay"former that I truly like the look of it.
