I can deal with the cyclops head on Swindle, but this is getting rediculous. Don't like the cyclops head on Payload. Won't be getting any of these 3.

Well after reading up on the movie characters, both sides use variations of the same drones.

Decepticons: Camera face

Autobots: Mouth covered indistinguishable face.

Yet, oddly enough...Dropkick (the pickup) is a Decepticon drone with an Autobot's face. So confusing, but such a fantastic looking figure.

I think Dropkick, like Wreckage, is a new independent character, and not a simple drone.

Payload is indeed sweet. Will pick him up.

Battle Damage Jazz is cheesy... notice they didn't do any damage to his car mode.. which I guess makes sense cause in robot mode he looks like they just let Hasbro's mascot dog chew on him a bit... and nobody wants to buy a chewed up robot AND chewed up car in one...

But does this mean he's not ....err...you know (don't want to give a spoiler away)... or is this before he gets...err...you know?

As for Nightbeat 7... so sad...sooo sad:(

I am a BIG Nightbeat fan. I have dreamed and prayed that Nightbeat will get a fantastic toy... and nothing... and here I thought we'd get a cool car... and maybe a bit of a homage... but no... nope...zilch...

Nightbeat should be in the sequal! Binary bond him to a human detective

i'll get that Jazz for sure.

When do these new figures come out? Also I'd be more into Jazz is his arms' design wasn't so weak.

Final Battle Jazz's weapon looks even dumber on his car mode than the sword on regular Jazz, and he still has those HORRIBLE hands. am I alone in my dislike for the Jazz toys? I want to like him, I really do, but i HATE the fore-arms and hands!

I'll be getting Payload, I have a soft spot for drones.

I'll get Jazz too only because I didn't get the first one.

I'll skip Night Beat.

Jazz looks much better in person than on your computer screen. He's fun to transform and looks cool enough. It's really retarded that they chewed up his knees to give him the "battle damage" as that's not where he was "battle damaged" in the movie.

Everytime I see a pic of Jazz (final, normal or g1 coloured) I think he's been mistransformed. It is startign to dawn on me that he infact hasnt been mistransformed, and is infact, utter kibbletastic crap. Probably still buy at least oen version of him.

The others look good, although there is something... not quite right... about Payload's alt mode.

Yeah, they're definitely remolded parts. If you look at his right knee there's actually a chunk missing. Nice to know they actually took the time to do a remold instead of a repaint.

Wait, Does he come already torn in half?

by **NightFall** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 1:44 pm

Well, no surprize here, Jazz is fugly, Nightbeat is boring, and Payload has no detail face or body, hence being really dull, maybe that's a blessing considering what happen to that Jazz. Yup, I don't like these either, saving my money, that's always cool.

Payload looks awesome, but he should be a Voyager class figure.

I was wondering after the movie, if Jazz regreted his decision to play in this film and maybe he should have passed the roll of "Token Black Guy" to Blaster.

I had it all figured in my head.

I'm not a fan of any Movie Jazz yet, but still thinking back to G1 it kinda hurt, and I can't help but wonder if this is somehow part of a torture by Unicron for the one that got away?

This goes deap to, in the stores, I've heard kids say "NO, I don't want a Jazz ever"

Still, I like what I see and will most likely get him. Maybe keep him sealed, maybe not. I haven't decided.

NIghtBeat7 I can tell you though is a shelf warmer as far as I'm concerned. I do look forward to Payload though.
