That Barricade box art looks much better with a mouth instead of the BF mandables.

I doubt I'll be a completist when it comes to the movie toys, but I'm pretty sure I'll be picking up everything that has to do with Barricade! I just love that guy...

The little Decepticop is just too adorable there! I'll have to pick up the Bumblebee one too and make them fight :twisted:

Well, BB finally looks like G1 BB... kinda.

I'll pass on these though.

Those things are so pathetic that I wan't to beat the guy who created them. It looks like playskool for goths. :SICK:

You realize that line is made for young children.

Hm, was never a big Throttlebot/Choro-Q person, but still I kinda like these. Dunno if I'll actually be getting them, though...I gotta cut off somewhere. :wink:

My little nephews are getting these for their birthdays.

Start 'em young, I guess. Preferably not with Bayformers, though.

Those look lame. At least they fixed BB's head. He looks like a bee robot.

My Niece and Nephews are going to love destroying these.

Also, less the car legs, the pictures of the figures on the packaging has a much more traditional feel.

they need to keep chibi in anime its so much cuter with anime its just weird when you try it with transformers.

I think it's great personally that they are targeting all ages. This may prove to be a good move in keeping a loyal fan base for years and ensure an ongoing interest in Transformers.

I know that, but what parent in their right mind bur something that hideous for their young child? It's like giving a five year old a Playboy. It's too mature for little kids. My parents wouldn't let me watch Beast Wars when I was little because of how scary Dinobot looked. I feel that most parents this year are going to glance at the Transformers section in the store and then walk as fast as they can to the Power Rangers. It's a simple fact that ugly doesn't sell.

That's no fair! You cut up my post!

Dinobot was pretty creepy, though. The teeth, snarl, and eyes was too much at the time. I was 3 or 4.
