I thin they should have made Stockade the Escalade from the movie that came to life. He is the same model and color as the one that attacked his drivers.

I'll pass on wave 1. Cybertron Evac still rules, and i'm quite content with my movie Ironhide. Can't wait til wave 2, though. As u can see.

What's wrong with Prime's bio? It's made his toy officially Godlike. Too bad it's just not for the Leader mold.

might have been said already, but it looks like
they were going for a "Kup" homage with this ironhide repaint.

the color-scheme fits well enough -- at least as
well as the brakedown-gts repaint for the cybertron
line, which also looked the part of G1-Kup.

I still think they shoulda done a geewun scheme for teh Ironhide repaint (as in geewun Ironhide colors), and I dun like teh rotorhandz on Incinerator either.

HI

I just think the bios are not good... it says they absorbed the allspark and it mentions the war between decepts and autos is over...if its over why buy the two toy factions then, so they can relax and play golf?...I mean who wants a toy thats just supposed to be content and relaxed...that = lame and I dont remember in the movie Prime or the other autobots absorbing ****..Megatron absorbed it and he got all f-ed up and dead over it...so the bios for Prime and Iron just fall flat for me...Primes an ass kicker and he doesnt need to absorb nuthin to be just that. :grin:

Stockade looks awful. Incinerator looks terrible too, it's like they oversized that Minicon from Armada...

At least with the Armada Mini-con you could make him into a weapon hot have something that resembles didgets. Not with this new one though. P-U.

Offroad ironhide? Isnt that a bit redundant since he is a frickin big ass pick up? Thats like Leader Optimus prime or street bumblebee.

Just the two (G1 & Night Watch) Prime repaints and CJ for me.

I like the Cliffjumper repaint. I think red suits the mold better then yellow, but that's me. But something I cannot figure out is... Evac (Blackout Repaint) gets a new head, except for the head, he is a straight repaint. Cliffjumper (Bumblebee Repaint), who is an established character in the Transformer Universe, gets nothing but the straight repaint treatment.

I can maybe understand the straight repaints of previous lines, but this with Evac getting a new cranium, while Cliffjumper is left out in the cold, I don't understand.

Blackout has an evil-looking head that simply wouldn't fly with TF fans. BB has a decent head already, and Hasblo is cheap, so they just kept it pretty much the same.

True, but if it were me, and I was the Hasbro designer... Cliffjumper would've gotten the new head, not Evac. Simply because Cliffjumper is the better known character... But I suppose this is something for a kitbash to fix.

stockade i'll get, love his nemesis prime color scheme. I already got robo vision Prime, so I don't know about the G1 color Prime...but I might purchase him because I got the prime fetish.

I would think Cliffjumper wouldn't get a new head because of all the kids that love BB at the moment. If they want kids to want the Cliffjumper toy, why not leave him look the same as BB? Makes it more identafiable to the youngins'. Besides, fans were suppose to get a few original Cliffjumper moulds but they never got put to market (BT and Tit come to mind.)
