Looks like Sentinel Prime is a get for me, So is Leader Class Ironhide, Shockwave and all the Scout Class Human Alliance figures. I'm on the fence about everything else.

Yeah, I agree, Ultimate Prime looks a lot better with the wings down.

More than that, notice anything different about his legs in this picture?

What about the legs?

The leg braces! The long thin panels that were in the previous pictures and prevented Prime from having any hip or knee articulation, or even any illusion of it, are detached!

They now hang from the waist like the side skirts on Masterpiece Starscream.

Ok this line has won me over I realy Want Roadbuster and the Basic HA figures also Heck I want all off the DOTM figures.

Here's my Mech-Tech wants thanks to Toy Fair--
Crankcase, Topspin, Roadbuster, Voyager OP, Ultimate OP, The ARK, Voyager Megatron. I'm thinking about CyberVerse SS playset, not to keen on the SS figure but I like the spaceship/transport. At first I wasn't interested in voyager OP, but I love the truck engine/transmission gun. I'm surprised that the Roadbuster alt mode is a normal race car whereas Topspin is the weaponized car; but where's the 3rd Wrecker (must be a later release). I really like the idea that Mech-Tech weapons are interchangeable; the possibilities are endless.

Really thought we'd get to see the Ferrari, Mercedes Benz, and Soundwave; must be later releases.

I dunno, this line continues to be disappointing to me. Most of the deluxes look so bland with their lack of paint apps, Sideswipe especially. Jolt too, but not quite as bad. Topspin has gone from a probable no to a maybe yes, now that I know he has proper articulation. Ultimate Prime doesn't look as crap as before, but I still don't like the regular robot mode at all. I am a huge fan of God Ginrai, however, so it's a little tempting. Still undecided on Skyhammer, since I can't tell what his articulation is like. And I'd prefer a different color scheme.

So far my buys for DOTM are few:

Topspin
Roadbuster
Shockwave
Megatron
Cyberverse Powerglide
Sentinel Prime

And I think that's about it...

Oh yeah I see now! It's good that it looks like he will be able to move his legs; that's what really bothered me about the Optimus/Jetfire combo.

I think this is a weird thing to point out now but do the boxes they come in look cheaper now?
