Try this link to get a better look. IMO they look better than what those other pics showed. These could be potential buys for me.

I saw the Barricade, megatron and Bumblebee today in a shop called Hobbyco in Syney, Australia

Wankers.

This is a known problem with links to the Hasbro site.
There is a simple workaround though. Just open the link twice.
The first one will redirect to the Aussie site but the second one will work correctly. I'm surprised you've not run into this problem before.

Maybe ill get Megatron and reapint him...

They look like the revoltechs with those joints.

I actually like the Barricade one better than the others. He's the only tempting one.

Barricade is Ok, but no thanks, I'll pass.

What did they do to barricade!?! do those figs even transform?

Hey the TF Movie is becoming a better "G1-Reboot" idea than classics! Thank about it!

Movie? Check!
Action Masters? Check!
Jumpstarters?

Oh no, they ruined it, and honestly some people think these are better then the Unleashed Figures... I hope no one agrees. These Robot Replicas how big are they exactly?

6" inches tall

Interesting but only if they're cheap.

Bumblebee would have benefited from a better undercarriage Metal coloring instead of Plastic Grey, and Barricade's Head is way too big and pointy for that body. Megatron's joints also should have been more in color with his body coloring, or gun metal like the movie has him portrayed. optimus prime looks good, though the scale is too small to be accurate for them in a battle scene.

Time to get out the miniature paints.

i get the RR Bumblebee, well it overall is quite good for the sculpt. though also has some major flaw which are :

1. the gray colour is clearly show that it is a toy, i neeed to paint it to make a realistic view.
2. The leg may has the revoltech joint, but the lower legs has no room for motion making it only a small possible movement, you can only bend the knees to 20 degrees the most. making it almost unposeable on the knee joint.
3. the arm connection to the body also has a revoltech joint, but then again, bad design on the arm strangle the movement to a very limited pose.
4. the elbow joint only using a single joint with only few degree of movement. and the wrist also made intact with the lower arm.
5. the paint and detail on several part are just to plain, such as on the side chest and under the head, making the ball joint under the head clearly visible.

i still say that it is a dissapointment for me especially when the say that the figure is highly possible but in fact, you can only do limited pose.

These are NOT that bad in person and Baricades head is MUCH smaller than that Hasbro pic.
