isnt it ironic, when discussing the movie, you get the whole "This is a new generation, so the names of bots dont have to be exactly the same" but you can just see the row if they do call him snarl

-Wow, legends repainted into G1 colours! This is gonna be great! Red alert and starscream look frickin sweet!
-Deluxe Prowl is darn AWESOME.

-The hulk is dissapointing, but oh well, what can you do.
-Iron man looks kinda cool.

I WANT ANIMATED NOW!

-Hole cow, soundwave is just EXCELLENT! HE'S AMUST HAVE FOR ME, FIRST ON MY LIST OF THINGS TO BUY, SCREW LOCKDOWN, SOUNDWAVE IS PREFECT.
-JAZZ ROCKZ!

-What's up with Bumper Battlers OP's face? xO

-Power bots are probably something like robot replicas...

-So, Activators are little? THEN THEY'RE MUST HAVES FOR ME! except for lockdown. and some others.
If yes, that means activators bulkhread will be the cheapest bulkhead to get.
-But look. There's optimus prime in his earth mode WITH a face mask. A must have for me, unless there will be a deluxe earth prime not in a 2-pack.
-Ratchet looks good too.
-Starscream is neat.
-Bumblebee.. well, his hands speak for themselves... But still prety cool for his size...

-Optimus prime battle blaster. Better than the movie one.

-Wow. This grey incinerator has a really weak colour scheme. Neon colours. Gawd, i thought we'd forget about them since g2 is gone...

I can't believe they're still repainting the Legends of Cybertron figures. How hard is it to design some new legends?

That said, Octane looks amazing! He'll be my first purchase from this line I think. Animated Blackarachnia is excellent as well, she's most definitely on the list.

OK first off:

I hate those Universe repaints, who the hell is Heavy load?

I'm kinda worried that Onsloght won't combine.

Slag, I would have loved him to be just like Grimlock G1 style in transformation, but hell he looks so awesome!

Why is Galvatron deluxe?
Powerglide one of the weekest and crappest TF characters of all time gets to be a Ultra, but Galvatron one of the most badass characters is downgraded to deluxe? :shock:

Why fu** about saying Powerglide is now white becos the plain this is based of is white and we want to keep realism in this line, but make Blaster the repaint of a unrealistic alien stealth bomber?

But other than that this looks all very awesome, what are activators?

by **Pot Bot** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 9:05 am

galvatron will be the same size as starscream grimlock etc from the first classics, so why moan about him, when they were all the same size???

News Credits: 767 · by **Dead Metal** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 9:17 am

Becos Powerglide used to be so big that he barely got up to his knee, and now it's the other way around.

by **Pot Bot** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 9:21 am

so similar to all the G1's and metroplex?? At the end of the day, they obviously intend galvatron to fit in with the other deluxes, and i dare say give it a few months and we'll have a much bigger Galvatron. Im just grateful we have one at all.

News Credits: 767 · by **Dead Metal** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 9:25 am

Oh yea a voyager size version of that Galvy would be so kick ass!

But I seriuslly expect that before Hasbro makes bigger Universe versions, we'll get a Supream class Wheely.

by **Pot Bot** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 9:30 am

i aint denying Hasbro dont exactly work in logical manner, but things always seem to lead to something bigger and better. Like i said about blaster, from having nothing over the past 20ish year apart from one one toy, hes now had his own spotlight, and now a new figure (which i know is a repaint but its still new for him) so he's obviously worked his way into Hasbro's attention, which will build deman for his own mold i would have thought. And imho if this galvatron is popular, i can see hasbro THEN making a bigger better galvie, when they know its a safe bet.

Btw, hasbro, if you read this...PLEASE dont make a supreme class wheelie, i think he was joking!!!!!

TELL THEM YOU WERE JOKING :-x

!!!!

cant believe i have to have a wheelie with the new Kup i just bought, id rather have someone vomit inside the package lol

The coolest new figures from Toyfair...

Beast Wars Robot Heroes, baby!

I'm so impressed with these guys, I love them all!

I can see were you're comming from, I want that for the classics seekers- but I don't believe this will ever happen.

Lol I was joking, but I have to admit, I wouldn't put it past them!

by **Pot Bot** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 9:44 am

i dunno, the seekers were always very meh to me. Im hoping for a better cyclonus and scourge.

As for wheelie, i wouldnt put it past them either, it worries me he's getting his own spotlight, and whats going to follow

Leader Bulkhead looks fracking amazing.

News Credits: 4 · by **Briggs** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 10:36 am

I thin i'll get that powerglide just for the sake that he's a good size,t o go with my alternators.

he's a plane, he should be bigger then a jeep!

I always had that issue with Powerglide too. He is a plane...he was modeled after one of the baddest,most vicious planes ever designed...and he was red?!?!?! :???:

I think this is much better...he even has KNEES this time around...LOL

As for Blaster, I would have liked it if they'd kept his plane section more black. FYI he isn't some "alien stealth bomber", the mold is actually very very close to the F-117A stealth fighter. check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-117_Nighthawk then compare if to blaster/Soundwave's alt mode. It's very close.

by **Pot Bot** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 10:56 am

yeah i do like the stealth bomber and i saw the likeness straight away. I think people have gone a bit OTT with Blaster, yeah he is a pure repaint, but hey, he's got some love. im happy so woot!!!!

C'mon Classics Metroplex city alt form next :grin:

A lot of people were asking why he has so many weapons when he doesn't in the show and they said that it reflects an upgrade he receives.

News Credits: 767 · by **Dead Metal** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 11:01 am

The mold is indeed very close!
I never noticed that, maybe becos of all those different colors on the toys OK I can ecept him now, but I'll star work on a new head for him now, it may get me some extra money and it will differ him more from Soundwave.

I just hope we will get a new Soundwave next year.

by **Pot Bot** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 11:04 am

a new head??? man it amazes me how some people can do stuff like that. im so SO bad lol.

News Credits: 767 · by **Dead Metal** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 11:19 am

Yea, I tried it once worked well, I just have to coppy a pice of Soundwave's original head, put putty on it and sculpt it in a close shape, then I do the proper detail once it hardens, then I make a mold from it.

I should have enough time to make a decent head sculpt till the thing hits shelves.

by **Pot Bot** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 11:20 am

can you replace the head, and still have it flexible enough not to break?

News Credits: 767 · by **Dead Metal** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 11:22 am

Shure!
It is afterall a ball jointed head, I think I must go and check if it is, cos if it's not it's going to be a little more complicated.

and the thing with breaking, depends on the material, I haven't cast anything jet but I'm gonna do that soon.

by **Pot Bot** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 11:23 am

man, why did my bro have to have the artistic talent lol. good luck with that dude

by **TylerDante69** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 11:25 am

Nice TF Animated!!!

I can't tell but are the Activators smaller than the Deluxe???

Leader Class Megatron is bad ass!! Hopefully he is bigger than Voyager Prime and Starscream.

Jazz is a hot toy robot!!
