MSRP is already up 5$, some stores have simply decided not to charge that on their end yet.

This looks like stuff you'd see at a car show right now, eff this. I'd have been down for some war within style stuff, or, hell, resurrect the old war for cybertron aesthetic.
The thing that pains me about all this is that in the end, there is nothing really new to what was already going on. In TR, almost everything was pseudo eart but not enough to make it super realistic. We had Astrotrain for instance which could be considered "cybertronian" and its not like Blitzwing looked exactly like a tank we would see on earth. So this is basically the same ****. I dont get why Hasbro went out of their way to say this would all be cybertronian now when its not all that different. Doesnt mean I mind these toys though, I just dont get the reason for false hype.

Like how they tried to make PotP Op an homage to MP-10. I wonder if this is a new trend, making the Generation toys budget versions of the MP line...
I totally thought of the MP when I saw this Sideswipe. They have been incorporating MP designs into their figures as of late, best example would be POTP Optimus Prime.

AGREED, now that is a Cybertronian mode!
