Jetfires nice and now a must dang it but not at full price. Not keen on the armor thing/parts but it adds playability for kids.

Omega looks great, hopefully it has a face gimmick and more than likely it will have.

Mirage is a pass but I'm a sucker for F1 cars, so maybe on sale or another deco.

Impactor seems kind of like an inspired upscaled Skytread tank part, and its a want but doubting the turret can turn -making the alt a bit meh.

Oops lol

Yeah, I noticed that after I posted. Could have sworn his size was missing though. Thanks for pointing out my mistake ;)^

It looks like his waist joint may double as a turret rotation point

Edit: Maybe I'm just hoping though cause I can kind of see his waist in the alt mode, but I can't tell for certain

And saying that MIRAGE transforms into a "Cybertronian" vehicle is just a bad joke

I suggest waiting for in hand pictures and displays at Toy Fair, since half the time stock renders look worse than the actual product.

Impactor was a guy I initially went 'oh crap he's hideous' but looking at the older Marvel artwork, it's clear this is an Impactor toy as if he was supposed to be accurate to 'ye good old days' of GEEWUN, rather than an IDW-inspired Impactor.

So who said Jetfire wasnt appearing?

*facepalm* i told you guys jetfire appears and nobody believes in me again :HEADHURTS:

I can see that Impactor will be retooled as Warpath, and METAL SLUG VIBES in it. :michaelbay:

Mirage is totally a worth buy.
:lol:

Eh, I don't know, they've been pretty consistent recently with Minibots being Legends-size, can't imagine they'd break that trend for Warpath.

You make a good point. We wait for a proper legends class figure then? I didn't like the Megatron retool or the Universe one much, but fell in love with the Generations deluxe

I really want a new Warpath but I already don't like Impactor's mold or at least how the legs look. I already have the old Deluxe Generations Warpath and he's great but I somehow hope to get another WfC game-like Warpath but that doesn't seem to happen.

I don't know what to do anymore.

You could switch to Mp/third party Trust me, Mp/Third party are a way better option. Sure, it may be more expensive but at least its still good quality.

Switch from what? I'm already neck deep in Masterpiece.

Everything is G1-tastic lately, even some of the film stuff, it's getting a little overwhelming.

Well, I know Im just done with hasbro, Im ONLY doing Mp and third party. Need some good mp bots from the g1 movie, want the ft hoodlum, ocular max springer, and the ft Kup, mayb they zeta arcee

So does Jetfire have actually launching missiles? Wow, that is a surprise, and a little ironic since I think the last generation figure released with a launching missile was CW Skywarp, who was a retool of T30 Jetfire.

Curious about this but are we getting Skyfire by chance? (or Jetfire, before he became an Autobot.)

Nothing announced, but he's a shoe-in for Leader Class... again. Mind you, we've practically hit the lower limit for molds in that class, depending on how one counts. If not this year, then definitely the next two.

Surprise surprise... :lol:

Impactor would made a pretty decent Cybertronian Quake, now wouldn't he? Especially in a line with Targetmasters... :-?

Quake or Warpath.
But the retool screams Warpath i suppose.

Ok, I'll start with the good, and then go to the negatives

GOOD

I love Omega! That is a proper, bulky, huge Omega!! I am super sad he does not turn into the Ark, but dang does he look good!! And I love how the rocket is all 1 piece, and it attaches to his back and extends/moves around to form arms. Genius rather than just splitting it down the center!

Mirage has a good looking upper body. And the alt mode is good, though it is a joke to say that is Cybertronian.

I like that Jetfire is all cartoon accurate for those who want him. But it is sad that you have to pay $80 to get that size of figure, though it looks good for what it supposed to be. I will pass on him and stick with my awesome Thrilling 30 Leader though. That is an easy decision.

Impactor really looks like he was designed to be Cybertron Defense Scattershot. So this means we got a dead ringer for Scattershot and evidence Hound can be Hot Shot. So we just need a Red Alert for the Trio! Yay!!

and now... Negatives

Mirage's legs are not that good looking. for some reason, they look really skinny, and then they have part of an F1 cockpit on the sides, it looks awkward. And the head isn't my favorite, definitely prefer the CW head. But overall, a fair effort.

Jetfire is Skyfire, and we'll leave that at that. That design was and remains so utterly boring. and the masked head has no antennae! That head looks so weird like that!

And finally, Impactor. I have to say, that right there is THE disappointment of the year. It all looks so wrong. The tank mode is absolutely WHACK. The robot mode is so boring, and that head is so hideous! It literally looks like someone took the Impactor design, ran it through a Floro Dery-ifier, didn't like it, tried to undo it, but then ran it through again, added some Pat Lee lines, and then made it a toy.

It. Is. Hideous.

That is NOT in the SLIGHTEST what I had hoped for for our first ever Impactor retail toy (that was not Fall of Cybertron). I am hoping so hard the toy looks infinitely better than this rubbish mockup.

I certainly do not expect to see new jetfire today, but he looked pretty good. The armor parts seem to try to invoke a "macross" look, tough it doesn't seem to work that great, given jetfire's bodyline, but overall, still look badass.

Mirage seems...interesting. I need to see the car mode in more angle before judging, and the robot mode hasn't warm up to me yet, but i found the transformation interesting because from what i see, he does not transform the way mirage usually transform. The arm actually become the spoiler car, the legs is the side of the car, and the chest seems to use fake parts.
