Pfft xD Nice observation.

Of course that's still more than someone else has! Breakdown NOOO! I realize that it was only a matter of time for him though. I'm still miffed over killing off Seaspray right off the bat, why kill off characters everybody likes? D: ...Everybody likes Seaspray. It's a fact.

Well, if you are trying to establish a new villian, might as well kill off a character that people like, but you never have any intention of ever using on the show. Everyone may like him...but hes kinda lame nonetheless.

With the Airachnid toy missing a leg, now wondering if Breakdown will come as a pile of disassembled parts in a box :p

We will probably get a third party Menasor, so I might want to wait and get THAT Breakdown... and Dead-end.

I don't know if anyone has noticed it, but the rotor blades on Airachnid have hinges midway, maybe she does have a spider mode

I was trying to make sense of that, and what it meant other than to have the legs on the back sorta bend foward over her shoulders making her look all creepy. You might be able to give her a centaur mode, haha.

With only three spider legs? Riiight....

Since when does eight minus one equal three?

Maybe i'm being picky .. but even if they do a larger Magnus, i'd still love the cab separate and the trailer as armour, rather than him being in one complete piece.

I doubt we'd be that lucky. As it stands, it looks like more of an animated or RID Magnus.

I hope these will have arms microns as well!

Also, Pyro, Impactor, Rotorstorm, Roadbuster were killed too... Whoever wrote TF Prime really knows their obscure bots, or maybe they just poked around google and got random names. I mean those characters never appered in G1 cartoons...

Dead end looks... jungle_ish.

Dead end is black, but that definition seemed to blurred after the ROTF deadends who were red/white.

The WJ mold would look better for Runamuck and Runabout.

Or maybe they just read Last Stand of the Wreckers?

what?... no Triple Changer?... i think she was the first in TF:Prime.

I'm surprised everyone thought Magnus would be a repaint of prime. The Exodus & Exiles make Magnus out to be a much different character. I won't be surprised to see a Voyager of Magnus and we're probably gonna see Springer & Prowl sometime in the next few waves.

well if you fenagle it right she probably can stand like the spider mode, but she'll be a quarter of an inch above the surface you have her standing on :/

if you look, she has six legs in the show; i really was expecting this figure to do all three modes. i guess i was expecting too much. i never thought id be more excited to buy the new vehicon than airachnid; her in-show transformation is my favorite and has the potential to be either excellent or horrible. that said, this figure certainly isnt horrible, but it sure isnt excellent

I was counting her four robot limbs towards the eight. I thought she only had four spider limbs on her back, but now I am seeing she actually has six, so its off either way.

Also, if this figure did have the spider mode, i think hasbro would be the first one to flaunt it, Know what i mean? It'd be Prime first triple changer, theoretically people would be all over it

Never know, we might get a Voyager of her later with spider-centaur mode. Getting that in a Deluxe class figure is expecting too much I think. They have to limit the length of the rotors to fit in the package, and I'm sure they will be bent to make fit as it is.

Ultra Magnus...is AWESOME. I hope the Prime toyline will come to the Netherlands too...

EDIT: omg. Was just browsing Dutch webshops/toy stores. I already spotted some: Cyberverse Knockout and Wheeljack. Finally some good stuff in the Netherlands instead of all this movie franchise.

None of the RotF Dead Ends had white on them at all. They were all red/black with a little gold-ish colored detailing, much like the original.

If her existing limbs can be configured to look more insect-like and the three others from the rotor fill the gaps, that will leave her with 7, since she apparently lost one on the show. I know it's unlikely, but I wish it could be possible.

As for Dead End, they could have made him more black with red windows and green stripes and he would've made a decent Lockdown...but he's not really tall and lanky enough. I just always had this weird idea of Lockdown being an evil Wheeljack.

I very much like each of these!
I'm glad we're finally seeing that Airachnid toy we've been teased about...

Sweet, a new Ultra Magnus! I just hope he actually makes it to stores in the US!

Dead End has an... interesting paint job? Airachnid looks okay, but I recommend fixing the position of her spider legs in robot mode in future advertisements for the sake of show accuracy. I really like the way Ultra Magnus looks. It's about time they strayed away from White-and-Blue-imus Prime. I pray he makes an appearance in the show!
