I'm starting to doubt they really are reissueing Drancron.

[Redimus]

Urgh, Beastwars... the only decent ones are the RM two.

And is it me, or are both those shoeformers slightly mistransformed?

Both of em have a ball joint on the inside of above the arm, maybe the back end of the shoe is actully ment to fold back onto the side of the shoe.

[Liege Evilmus]

I look forward to the Sneakerformers!

I love the paintwork on the Beasties, but I already have one of each(if not more). I must say though that some of these figures really rock, and if you can afford it, look into the snake(I wont even try to spell his name).

I may however get a new BlackArachnia. The one I have came as part of an auction lot, and she's seen better days. I may also get a bunch of Waspinators just because I always wanted to set up a display with him just getting thrashed in a number of ways

[Scaleface]

Well, these look like the first time we see anything like a show-accurate colored Dinobot and Blackarachnia. I wonder how much to get them?

[Psychout]

Its E:Hobby so id expect it to be at least a kidney.

Shoe transformers. erm... Why?

[Noisemaze]

Can they get any more BORING? I mean sneakers & old repaints? Where's the effort? WTF???

[Ultra Markus]

LOL are you kidding me nike transformers
aside from the robot modes looking ok what
purpose does it make to have a shoe turn into a robot
whats next baseball caps or gloves how about a pair of pants.
why don't they just stick with watches and stuff like the old days
something more play worthy.

I'll probably be picking up only Blackarachnia, Archadis, & Corhada. At least BA finally gets a decent paint job, her original only looked okay in Beast Mode, but the Robot mode was completely horrid. The Shoe-Formers I'm still doubting.

[Ninja Sixshot]

im thinking about getting blackarachnia or cheetor

[MaikeruSama]

Shoes WTF? But im going to get Dinbot HE ACTUALLY HAS A MOUTH ZOMG!

[Thanatos Prime]

How comes hasbro couldn't do paint aps like that here? Those are frickin' amazing.

[Dclone Soundwave]

How comes hasbro couldn't do paint aps like that here? Those are frickin' amazing.

It's because Hasbro doesn't give a damn about what we want. *shakes fist in anger*

[Flashwave]

Thosae shoes are but only Protos, but alright. I'm getting them.
Archadis is cool, And I'm still thinking about getyting the TRU Primal (Kast I saw thery had tons) I have everyone else.

[sparkofchaos]

maybe they should have done skates so they have wheels in robot modes and resemble something that could turn into vehicles...

or turn the shoelace into some sort of whip-like weapon, and attachable to something to turn it into a flail

not that i'm complaining since i actually like the designs of these shoeformers alot. just wonder what could make it more appealing to those who don't like it at first glance...maybe nothing

[Nico]

Finally a decently colored Blackarachnia toy...i wish it could have a better face!

[Vile MK III]

Grrrrr, Those Beast Wars reissues look better than the U.S reissues Speaking of reissues, Where the hell are the G1 reissues?

[TFBuyer]

I find it oddly humorous that the robots who turn into shoes are both wearing Nikes themselves... Viva la marketing!
