I am loving that Arcee figure... But I might have her as Chromia in my collection.

Must Have Arcee.

These look interesting. Starscream and Bumblebee look kind of cool, but I'm not sure if they look cool enough to warrant a purchase. Arcee looks pretty cool too. I might get her and use her as Chromia in my Classics collection.

BTW, why does Starscream have high heels?

I like the packaging!

Starscream looks cool, except for those "I'm wearing women's high-heel boots" feet.

EDIT: Dammit, Chaoslock. Ya ninja'd me!

These are alright, even if I still wish the toys had moved away from the art style of the show. Doubt I'll get any though until a Knock-Out toy is released. And it better be a FABULOUS toy.

Come on now, we always knew Starscream was a little south of the border, know what I mean?
"Ding-a-ling-a-ling! I washmyface"

You know what bugs me is people always posing figures in the most cruddy poses, the pose makes the figure, if you see it posed stupidly, thats a total sale kill. I'm sure Arcee would look way better if posed right, and I'll probably ditch the arm axes for a tiny peg gun if possible.

BBee's feet look huge. He seems a bit squat and bulky, but still cool.

I am really diggin' Arcee.

And I can live with Starscream's heels.

"Available Jul 11"

Nice ... well except or Prettyscream.

Starscream looks fairly good despite the heels.

Now, bring on Soundwave and SKYQUAKE.

not a huge fan of the designs in general(although Arcee is nice) but like with Animated am amazed at how well they've translated stylised animation into physical product. I suppose it might have helped that these are based on CGI, but, the episodes of the cartoon I've seen don't suggest any real, workable, transformation scheme had been planned.

Nice work, (Has)bro!

Arcee is definitely a must-buy.

Bee's nice, but the clown feet look awkward.

Screamer needs a voyager class.

Bumblebee's legs are too chunky and Starscream's jet mode looks as thick as a space shuttle. And his feet are weird. Other than that, the toys are cool.

Starscream looks extremely feminine.

I think these look cool. Hasbro did a really nice job of translating animation into toys.

I won't be buying them though.
