What? You don't know the shorthand code for it by heart?

You mean like you know the short hand for the coffee drinker? >:oP

Ball joints are always a tell to figures in this size range. I think it's fare to guess these are on par with previous Basic, Scout, and Commander Class size.

I might be the only one, but these look so fun, I am more interested in those than the Power Master Optimus or G2 Bruticus.

I'm kinda with you there. I'm not feeling PMOP. Them minicons look like a hoot.

I can agree with you about being excited for these. Pity we don't really have any weapon minicons to show off here. Those things are really cool looking!

Man, when I saw that Optimus Hammer combinations I was like

And the Grimlock armour being AOE homage was super sweet.

The one thing I find a bit too bad though is that t seems Optimus is not much more than a retooled upscale of the legion class with his feet and arms transforming the exact same way.

Yeah those commander class guys are pretty cool. I. Missed that they were not warriors at first. I'm loving OP's hammer of doom.

I guess OP would either be an upscale or a down scale. Maybe he is somewhere in-between. The others seem to be straddling that line of combined transformery bits.

I'm liking the look of some of these Minicons, but I really wish they had some kind of articulation.

Overload and Crazybolt look cool, but unless they get Warrior class figures they'll hafta be passed on.

Fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999 has a review for Legion Class Thunderhoof, enjoy!

Saw this review earlier. This is a great little guy and thunderhoof is popular enough to deserve this. He is so cool! Favorite con of all time (seriously)!!!

Well, there's no need for this guy now that I know there's a deluxe class version coming; cannot wait :KREMZEEK:

Overload's placement of the "feature" is less intrusive than on Crazy Bolt.

I like that overload resembles Centurion from the Marvel UK Comics too.

You know, I just love animals that can turn into cars. I'm loving the fact that Crazybolt is a beast-type Con that turns into a modified 1968 Corvette Stingray. The question remains is that to what animal is Bolty really based on?

Based on his shape and a semi-official leaked storyboard, I'd guess he's some kind of spitting lizard/toad that breathes fire and spits minicons.

Did Hasbro hire a former employee of Spin Master. Cause these toys couldn't be any closer to Bakugan. Seriously.

You can definitely see the resemblance. Maybe someone at hasbro was inspired to do the cyclones similar to bakugan

Well, okay. Since you stated that Crazybolt is some kind of a lizard, then what kind of lizard to be exact? From what we already knew, Crazybolt first made his debut in Beast Wars Neo where he was a frilled dragon that turned into a human and he only spoke Japanese. But this version of Crazybolt, as we speak, will be English-speaking for sure. Judging by the storyboard, is it likely that he will eventually escape from the Autobots and join Steeljaw's team, or be captured like all the rest, no matter how powerful they are? I'm starting to get little tired of this cops-and-robbers storyline for this series. It's time for Hasbro to turn this series into a full-fledged war series during Season 2, since the majority of Transformers is war-themed. Don't get me wrong, though. I still love this series. It's just that I question the storyline for this series, that's all.

Since this is a sequel to Transformers: Prime, do you still remember Airachnid? Airachnid is a humanoid spider that can turn into a helicopter. Does that really mean that all animal-based Transformers that can turn into vehicles, including Crazybolt, are descended from her?

News Credits: 1641 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Sat Nov 21, 2015 2:52 pm

There really isn't a reason for this to be a war series and it really isn't meant to be that way either. I like it how it is, though a little more carry-over would be nice. The war is over; this is just a band of fugitives being rounded back up and attempting to organize anyway.

And Airachnid was last seen as a part-zombie on the moon of cybertron, so who knows what happened since then. and the cons were probably born from the well of all-sparks when Optimus returned the allspark, so they are probably all new from the well and just designed that way, not descended from anyone as there really isn't a way for them to be descended from anyone
