They all look good, even the Leobreaker retool.

Dino-bot and smokescreen look awesome! They will be mine!

I think I'll get Leo Prime and Wreck Gar. I don't usually go for animated figures, but my vintage Wreck Gar is worn out and needs a change.

Love that Leo Prime though I agree the Legends colour scheme would be better. Still any Prime that isn't Optimus is ok with me. Wonder if he's the Prime that saw in the Maximal era.

What I like about him, Dropshot and Overload is they're giving us new G1 characters.

Love to see more Legends characters upgraded to their larger counterparts like Perceptor or Trypticon. Jetfire and Starscream's colours look nice on the Thundercracker mold.

Anyway, I reaaly feel Overload shoud have been called Flak. Shame they couldn't retool the mold with a new head to give us Technobot Nosecone. Love to see Energon Kickback as Sidetrack.

Don't buy many BW toys but love that Dinobot. He'll tower nicely over Robotmasters Primal like in the series. Now I'll have to get a Basic Rattrap.

Samurai Prowl-I love this design which equals Oh yeah!

Waspinator-Waspinator's always been great so For sure.

Smokescreen-He has the best deco of this mold he's quite Possibly bought.

Dinobot- He's sorta cool, he's a Maybe for me.

Wreck-Gar-Awesome, looks like a strong build so he's a For sure.

Atomic Lugnut-A lot better than the last which makes him a Yep.

Leo Prime-Awesome Deco, awesome head sculpt, I neeeeeed to see him
equipped to Cybertron Prime and I need another Prime so, HELL YES!

Overload-He's the best deco of this mold after Drop Shot but, Probably not.

overload: im not sure......

prowl: too clunky

smokescreen: colors: cool, paint desing: too g1ish, ill pass

wreck-gar: meh, il pass

by **BattleRoller23** » Thu Oct 23, 2008 9:10 am

For Dinobot, well Ill get the Henkei one, but ignoring the colors he is good. Smokscreen is fine, wouldnt mind picking him up. Wreck Gar. :grin:

BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Atomick Lugnut, I think Ill pass on. Lio Conoy is okay but they should have used the Japan mold, so Ill pass. Another Scattershot repaint. Pass.

Ya know, I just keep coming back to this thread to see the pics of Wreck-gar and, to some extent, Waspinator! The way they totally nailed these two characters is uncanny!

Two figures I'll definitely own!

I quite like the look of Smokescreen, but like Cyclonus, I would like to hold off and wait until pics of the Henkei version are released before I decide which to get. I would have preferred a more 'slavish' G1 paint job with two thin white stripes top and bottom coming right around the front, rather than one thick stripe on the sides.

With majority of the robot parts of Wreckgar hidden in the trash bin, his body must have been in deep mud of sh*t half the time.

Wreck-gar is a must have. The garbage truck mode suits him perfectly.
What they did with Leo-Prime however is just plain insulting. Bad enough they had to recycle a body style but they could have avoided adding insult to injury by at least giving him his original color scheme. The RM Lio-Convoy looks 100 times more bad-ass than this Universe re-hash version. Looks like I'll have to settle for Wreck-Gar and Smokescreen out of this set.

by **Badass Grimlock** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 4:36 pm

OMG Dinobot is BADASS!

by **Robot4762** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 6:43 pm

Im surprised no one said this: Wreck-gar should put down those chainsaws, and listen to me :lol:

Seems to me he'd made a funny based on the "Weird Al" Yankovic song from the animated movie, but if you don't get it, well... I wouldn't be much help anyway.

Any chance Wreck-Gar will have a voice-chip? I'm buying him anyway, but that would just be the best thing ever.

Between him, Waspy and Prowl, Animated is finally making me cave.

Only if Hasbro decides to start putting sound effects into the Voyager class.

Just put him by a stereo with Weird Al playing

No! Please DON'T!

Next thing, Voyager will be $23.99, and the transformation will be severely limited.
