So I like Gnaw. He looks pretty good in both modes. He's definitely bigger, which is something that I've wanted for quite a while. I'm excited to add him to my growing army of Sharkticons.

However, I'm a little concerned about the hollowness of him from the side of his robot mode. His belly isn't a true belly, it's like a flat shirt, which is kind of a bummer.

I also think he looks more like a War for Cybertron Trilogy Sharkticon / Gnaw instead of a G1 movie Gnaw. Something is really off about his face. It looks good for a Sharkticon, just not as G1 movie Sharkticon.

Torn about it. Might be one of those things that you like it more in person. Would like to read your thoughts!

I’m pretty sure what is throwing the look of the face off is how large the eyes are...
In the movie they were about half that size.
So it also makes the rest of his face look too small.

I also would’ve like if the sharkticon mode hands were bigger.
Which for me is more of an issue than the bot eye size.
But I still think he looks great overall. Especially for a troop-building type of figure.

I am very surprised by the excitement people have for Gnaw. But that's good, I want these toys to sell well. I just think he looks terrible. This is one of the few Transformers whose alt mode is the more memorable one and it does not look good. We still have the same visible head syndrome we always have with these but now we also have that clash in colours on the side with the exposed robot kibble.
And in robot mode, I really dislike how high the top half of the shark head is. That is not how he should look like.
As for Wreck- gar I like the robot mode but that bike mode looks like the robot doing some weird pose rather than a full fledged alt mode. I will get him though, fun to know other iterations can ride him.

Eh, not really impressed. If that SG Starscream had been the ER mold, I'd have gotten it. The colors are sharp, but I'm not into the mold. As it is, the only one I'll be picking up is SLAG. I don't remember a 'Slug' being in TF:TM.

Damnation not that mold for SS... .

Which mold? Or are you talking about Shattered Glass Screamer?

They usually (always?) save those for Transformers Tuesdays.

Why not? It's the closest thing to the original we have and it looks great!



ER mold would have looked weird just like the jet mold for the Subscription Service figure looked weird.

Yeah, I wish they had stuck with the older one. The new one is just too complex for my tastes.

As for SG Screamer's alt mode, I'd have preferred the F-15 more, but only because I like that alt. mode more overall. The Seige one was the right call. Although that color patters is really trying to make it look like the mold it isn't while not really taking advantage of the mold it is.

I'll get it because I'm a Seeker collector. But the deco has no style.

Yeah point I'm just not a fan of that mold. Hell with the 3 main seekers going from Cybertronian to Earth jets I'm still hoping for a Earth version of Red Wing somewhere down the road!

Little late to the party, but.. here are my thoughts.

No interest in *Slag*. I'll wait for Sludge and Swoop.

No attachment to the Sharkticon but he does look nice.

Wreckgar looks interesting, probably won't be pre-ordering him, and will only get him if he's discounted somewhere.

Starscream looks great, I might be inclined to get him if I ever seem him somewhere. Pulse exclusives are just a coin toss wether they show up down here somewhere or not.

Outside of that kind of a lame Fans First Friday. Was kind of hoping we'd get to see Tigatron and Waspinator. O well. Saves me some money.

Trotting out the Cybertronian jet mode that never looked quite right again I see.

That's your opinion but that Cybertronian jet is the BEST ever as far as G1 looks go. But as for the TOY itself, the Cybertron voyager is still unbeatable. The bot AND spaceship are just perfect plus it'S a joy to handle.

My main complaint with that SG Starscream is the paint and deco are waaaayyyyyy to plain and clean. It look unfinished.

SG Screamer looks cool, I preordered him.

The rest..... *sighs*

why they could not have shown off the other half of that wave with the bayverse guys is a mystery. Come on.

Marketing loves themes. In the stream they did a whole sequence on the artwork for the DVD, for crying out loud. I'm sure they'll announce a bunch of movieverse related stuff together sooner than later.
