Reminder that reflector will cost ~$51 USD to have a full camera. Yikes . Still getting them all though

Awesome!

wew lads

Updated with Starscream too!

Reflector looks so good!
I still don't know what Soundwave transforms into but I will probably buy it.

So reflector definitely looks like 3 bots in Camera mode. Are they 3 identical bots to buy separately? Or do we buy a Deluxe/Voyager reflector pack and get all 3?

looks like the same bot we have to buy thee times. Each of them comes with 1/3 of the scope and stand.

Kudos on the design, terrible idea on the packaging. Assuming they are Deluxe, and normal wave distribution with only 2 per case...

these look awesome so far... not sure how many bots is reflector nor what sound wave is supposed to be but I like them lots...

the tetra jets look a bit less imposing with their blunted out nosecones...

think what they did with shockwave and the weapon gimmicks is pretty good.

now if only they gave TR sound wave those g1 style weapons

Could I not just buy Shockwave but without all that unnecessary crap with him? It looks like he killed other Shockwaves and used their body parts for evil reasons

Soundwave looks ok i guess if you like Soundwave. Alt-mode looks like junk though but preferable to a tape deck at least.

Megatron looks decent. Pass on the sword but it looks like it's got the gun turret inside it so looks necessary for alt-mode annoyingly.

Reflector is and always will be a stupid concept but if you're gonna buy it then i suppose that looks the best way.

Starscream doesn't do it for me at all. Was never fond of the G1 seeker bot form anyways but that cybertronian jet isn't my thing. (hey at least it looks cybertronian though, unlike certain autobots vehicle forms)

I'd assume legend class. Still that puts us at least $30, which I'll gladly pay. A three pack would simplify my life though.

Reflecor FINALLY gets some love.

So what size is Shockwave without the armor, Voyager?

I have no problem with the price on buying 3 of them. I think the problem is going to be finding 3 of them unless Hasbro sends a solid case of them instead of mixed with others. Plus, there is no legends class in Siege.

I'm assuming he's voyager size with that silly backpack crud to make it Leader costs.

Nice to see some Cybertron modes on Cybertron figures even if Soundwave is a...a...a *maybe it can be a lamp post and salvage the alt mode or something). Still might be a possible buy, hoping his mini bots are good this time around.

Megatron doesnt look a vast difference to the TR figure to justify a buy, other than having him being different to a blitzwing repaint, but nah, money saved.

Reflector hell yes,

Shockwave, I really like the spaceship mode on this one (reminds a bit of SDF-1 and japanese anime in general, especially how robot mode can use the platform) so it will likely replace my energon shockwave as my 'toy' display version.

Starscream, looks a bit of a mess on his undercarriage but picking up either way as it's different from the classics and the POTP and CW versions were very easy passes for me. In robot mode it looks hard to tell that it doesnt turn into a G1 Jet rather than a G1 Tetra Jet.

As choosey as I'm over this line, Hasbro is doing pretty well so far.

I often see the car part of Battletrap selling in stores without the helicopter guy (I can't remember the indiviual names they've been given) to be found at all.

Shockwave is absolutely bought on sight, I'm guessing we would've got this exact figure in Power of the Primes had Shockwave won that fan poll. Soundwave I'd say is a maybe at this point, the robot mode is nice, but I don't like the battle damage detailing and I'm not sure what to think about the vehicle mode. Megatron looks okay, but I'm skipping both him and Starscream because I'm still satisfied with the Combiner Wars versions.

I'm a bit confused as to whether or not Shockwave has an alt-mode without the backpack required. I wouldn't have minded buying a voyager class item of just that figure but Leader price is way too much when I don't like the backpack part at all.

May or may not get Megatron if I may or may not get the Prime. I dunno. This line's not doing it for me generally.

More stuff!

I gotta go get ready to go out so I'mma leave you guys to enjoy your toy reveals. I might come back later to check out the Omega and see what it's like but I reckon this toyline be one I'm likely skipping the vast majority, if not all, the figures. Blocky bots just aren't my thing. Have fun.

Finally the 'Cons get shown and I'm quite disappointed.

Megs look goot, but I'm happy with my TR version (maybe if the do an Archforce version)
Soundwave is a joke, what sort of alt mode is that?
Shockwave screams ripoff like Energon Bulkhead with is "leader" class only due to some crappy armour add-ons which make it look like he killed his clone and is now wearing his corpse.
Reflector looks good, alt mode is strange and the three for a camera is a nice touch, but I don't want to by 3 of the same toy.
Starscream is meh, both modes are serviceable but nothing wowing.

I have just one complaint so far. Soundwave's eyes should be RED, Hasbro! RED! Otherwise, things look fantastic!

Where have I seen that altmode for starscream ah yes I remember

Shockwave's with the armor add-ons looks like a neo zeong with legs. I will probably buy him just for the smaller robot.

I was just going to post what I said elsewhere: that he looks like a 'final boss' of some Gundam series.
