There are some nice looking figures, but there is an awful lot of boring repaints

Out of all of them, I'm probably just going to get Hailstorm and Axor.

So that Elita-1 is actually screen accurate... I actually do like that battle damage on Sideways. Pass on the 3rd cannon Bumblebee three pack. For a second i thought it was another Leader class Brawl which would be great. Then i was disappointed.. Not to excited about the paint on Backfire, but i do like the mold. Axor looks pretty good, I'll pick him up since he is supposed to be a pretty BA decepticon. Hailstorm is a thing of pure BEAUTY! Great looking figure.

Well: Axor and Hailstorm are bought, the Arcee 3 pack, and the possible 3 pack with BB for the screen accurate Rampage and Ravage, BB can go bye bye.

Just from these promo shots, i am already excited.

I like a lot of these. But what I can't figure out is why they repainted a figure as bad as Deluxe ratchet. I know, he's never been done before but he was horrid.

But I'm glad to see the guy who combines with Mindwipe (I can't remember his name.) Maybe they'll put out a yellow one of him to match. lol.

HailStorm looks very nice, maybe he can be an extra Combaticon or something.....he certainly doesn't fit MindSet like they said...

TF collector in me says, AWESOME!
Guy who has to pay for this stuff in me says, Oh hell...

Love- LOVE- the Sideways/Arcee triplets set, I can taste it already. What, is that so wrong?

Some nice repaints there I'll get, too. That Brawl set w/ Jolt, is that just Deluxe Brawl or a new mold, can't tell but it looks like the old Dlx one.

Hailstorm looks scary, def. buy now.

I absolutely love how the blurb for "Bombing Run Battle" doesn't at all explain the massive scale difference.
Speaking of those blurbs, they are really hugging the edges of the card on those Deluxe and Scout classes.

Hailstorm, Brimstone, Insecticon, and a bunch of the new Legends 'Cons are bought. Zombie Sideways and the Triplets is mighty tempting.

Devastator is really, really green.

I'm also noticing the newest molds of both HFTD and Gen figs may have a neat little gimmick.

The same weapon clip / bar system that Recon Ironhide started it continues with Breacher, Darkmount and Tommahawk. I'll also check Hailstorm, too...

Darkmount has alot of weapon swapping possibilities. It's a neat little feature I think needs to be mentioned...

And I purposly skipped Scattorshot knowing an eventual repaint would be produced. Firetrap looks good to me! Thanks Hasbro for being predictable!

I'm going to hold off on Hubcap for this same reason...

The mold just screams Goldbug to me.


Now where's Terradive and Tommahawk?

She is in a "aw screw it, close enough" kind of way. I don't know why they couldn't slightly retool the Arcee mold instead, That would be perfect. I'd do it myself if I could find another Arcee.

To clearify, i meant the little one in the three pack. At least it's purple. The deluxe is pathetic..

I really don't want to point this out for some who missed it but the Sideways 3 pack is a store exclusive, making it harder to get. I hope it is Walmart because the absolute nearest one is 30 seconds away from my house. It's like COSTCO there, with pack sets thrown everywhere. Anyway I love it and I hope to mod chromia to have the correct arms and bulk arm thing. I also love the Sideswipe stripe on his top on the car. A definite get!

So what's the name of the white jet up top? Or the Decepticon plane (It's robot mode)

I need to know because it has to go on the list. And I'm not allowed in that section of the store after Memorial Day so I can't even try to browse for them.

Thanks!

Hailstorm is just looking like a little ass-kicker.

Way too many repaints. It's nice to see a set of all the bikes from TF2, but i would like to see them all Scout sized so they are in scale with the rest of the line. So far they have either been too big, too small or the wrong colour. Jeez.

Hailstorm looks great definately getting him.

The copter is supposed to be Grindor according to the bio on the back of the box.

The Femme Bots come as a set.

Somebody should make a synopsis of all the figures that are gonna be released, I'm starting to lose track of them all!

so the release date of these is july 1st

Following yesterday's gallery, more images are coming in from the convention. Take a look at new figures including Voyager Highbrow, Deluxe Tomahawk and Terradive by clicking here!
