Animated Soundwave looks good with the clear coats on his paintjob. Must get Alternity Screamer!! And Skywarp if the funds become available. Anybody else notice that the Alternity line seems like it's homaging different previous lines with the robot modes? Convoy looks like he could very well fit in with the G1/Classics Universe, Megatron is the same(unless you go with the blue version, then he would fit G2), Cliff/Bumble have somewhat of a movie aesthetic to them(tell me you haven't thought of it when doing their leg transformations.) And Screamer/Skywarp's robot modes from what I can see look very Beast era design. Was just wondering if I was the only person who thought that stuff. :KREMZEEK:

Arcee still looks way too red. I'm happy with the US version.

Damn, I was hoping TakaraTomy would give Arcee a G1 inspired paint job. Good to see Device Label Blaster is still getting promoted. Really not feeling Alternity Starscream or Skywarp. However, I was pleasantly surprised with Bumblebee and Cliffjumper so I'm keeping an open mind.

I too prefer the us arcee version, it looks more accurate paint wise.

That's my first reaction to seeing this as well.

I'm eager to see what Drift, Ironhide, BB, and Darkmount will look like in Henkei along with hopefully Seaspray.

Do we know that the Henkei Line will continue to cover Generations? I know it would be awesome, and most likely will happen; but we've yet to hear anything on it.
