Not a HW guy. However Bone Shaker looks awesome in alt mode and bot mode got a lot of character thanks to the chest skull design. Will get for the fun of the it depending on the price & availability in Canada.

But Twin Mill is a different story. The car mode is...bad as a car. I'm probably being too analytical, but the dual intakes are obscuring the driver's view so much it's just too ridiculous for me. And the legs in bot mode...yikes. That hollowness is Authentics-level in its badness. The knee joints look weird too. Not interested.

Well with the Breakfast preview pics starting to hit the inter-webs I am happy to see that these two are 5" and not Hotwheel scale like Optimus was---- I am totally in on these two!

People are saying these are Deluxe scaled but priced at Voyager/Leader class. So that's a bit of a deterrence for me on Twin Mill at least.

I wonder if they're using the fact that they're die-cast to justify the price? Still shouldn't be voyager priced. Hopefully that info is incorrect
