Not sure I dig Scourge too much. Lugnut looks like he has stubby legs.

Can't say i'm overly impressed.

Well, I'm less impressed than I'd hoped I'd be.

Jazz? Bought on sight.
Scourge? I might have to go with the Titanium for my Neo-G1 collection.
Lugnut? Egad.
PCC Dinobot Set? They might have finally made a set that won me over. I'm impressed.
Tracks? Bought on sight.
Perceptor? Pass. I'll buy the reissue. He's just not gonna cut it for me.
Legends? Megatron is a maybe, Starscream looks good, and Op and 'Bee are passes.

I'm rather disillusioned with Scourge. I was hoping for more than that. Those wings are just too wide and his vehicle mode doesn't look right. Robot looks nice, from what I can tell, but the vehicle nearly kills it for me.

I guess I'll have to see him in person before I make a final decision. I just don't get it... Cyclonus was given a terrific update and Scourge...not so much. I'd have thought Scourge was going to be a nice update...I was wrong, apparently.

Jazz and Tracks thoroughly impress me though. Geez they look great. Especially Tracks.

Lugnut looks mistransformed. The picture shown at Botcon looked much better.

Zomg! Teh r all seksi!! Srsly!!!..No.Seriously.

Oh~ My~~

Hasbro did it again~~~

So I'mma watch my account drop!!!

Perceptor let me buy you now!
and Jazz and Tracks and Thunderwing!!!
No Scourge you won't be left out!
Windcharger and teh legends can come too!

Sadly the one that makes me the most excited is Goldbug.

Jazz, Perceptor and Tracks are high maybes.
The Dinobot PCC and Thunderwing are lower maybes.

The rest are meh. Except Scourge, Yikes, that should raise the demand/costs of a few Botcon sets.

Well,
Scourge - Arms are mistransformed for sure, shoulders need clipping to torso. Vehicle's like the original yet, fortunately, not TOO like it.
Jazz - Spot on. 'Nuff said.
Perceptor - All leg and no arms make Perceptor a dull choice...
Tracks - Alt-mode's a bit chunky compared to the original's sheer sexiness but the robot looks good enough to win me over.
Thunderwing - Looks pretty ace other than the legs sticking out the back of the alt. But, screw that, it's Thunderwing, so it's bought.
Grapple - Everything I was hoping for.
Lugnut - Lets see some better pics...
Windcharger - pretty neat and more in-scale than classics 'Bee.

...and the Dinobots?

Mine.

Most of them will be bought on sight. I also have a custom Tracks, Perceptor, Lugnut, and Jazz (from a Chevy Aveo Swerve no less!) They may end up on eBay in the coming months.

Hell, I've been working on Perceptor all night since I couldn't sleep. Microscopes are a hard thing to make.

The Legends are better than I was expecting.

Passing on Grapple and the PCCs but I may get the Dinobot one to make a new Dinoking.

Kind of disappointed legends Megatron has no scope.

Lugnut=???

Everything else= WIN

Still got time to saved for next year!

Upon seeing Jazz I nearly creamed myself.
Most everything else I'm lukewarm on.
DELUXE Thunderwing? He should be Supreme class!
Legends Megatron is pretty pathetic.
Another Dinobot combiner... wasn't 'The Beast' evidence enough that a Dinobot gestalt is a bad idea?

Conclusion: Spring 2011 will annihilate my wallet. I. NEED. JAZZ!

Wasn't there a WFC Cliffjumper, Deluxe Skullgrin, and Legends Prowl mentioned at Botcon, where are they?

With the new molds I'm impressed with Jazz, Windcharger, and Thunderwing. Grapple is exactly as I pictured him to be but it would be nice to have the crane on his back like TFC did with the ladder they made for Inferno.

Wow...I'm loving all of these new figures!

The G1 homages is something I particularly like.

Scourge will look great with U Cyclonus and Galvatron.

Finally, we get a new mold specifically for Jazz!

Perceptor will likely get hated for its non G1 alt mode but I think a microscope with a tank mode just won't fly(no pun intended) as a mainline toy in 2010. The bot mode is great, it hits the character's G1 character design visual cues that I love.

Turbo Tracks looks neat, as does Thunderwing and the Grapple repaint of Voyager Inferno.

HFTD Lugnut...awesome for any TFA fan! It'll go great with RotF Lockdown.

Windcharger looks good, though it looks like there's a panel behind its head, which is one of the things I'm not a fan of in toy design.

Legends Gold Bumblebee is great(Goldbug?), though BB is my favourite character afterall.

Legends OP and Starscream look surprisingly awesome. I can't wait to see more photos of the figures.

Grimstone and the Dinobots is the first PCC that I'm truthfully excited about. It looks great! A Dinobot combiner that isn't a custom job and I just have to say that I'm not a fan of Mega-Dinobot...not one bit.

PCC Steamhammer and the Constructicons looks good too and I suppose if I get the Dinobots, I must get the Constructicons to display with them.

Habababababa, they all look so good... though Lugnut sure has some lanky arms. Thunderwing too could use a size-up, considering how much of a rampaging monster he was in the IDW comics.

It is sad that Jazz doesn't have a good Porsche 935 alt mode. The alt mode is just not right.....unless the picture is angled in such a way that the shape of the car looks wrong. I don't think that is the case though.

Scourge is just a wreck. That is a real disappointment.

Tracks is not too bad.

The rest are no-buys for me.

In terms of the Scout class Windcharger, is that HFTD or Generations? I thought they were sticking too the deluxe class for the G'tions line?

Either way he will be a worthy addition to any Neo-G1 collection. If he is part of G'tions, then other scouts can't be too far behind....

Must Haves-
Jazz
Tracks
Scourge
Windcharger
Megatron

May gets-
Perceptor
PCC Dinobots
Goldbug
Thunderwing

Probably won't gets-
Lugnut
Legends Prime or Screamer
PCC Constructicons

Well ... time to change my shorts.



Good on you Hasbro.

Good on you.

Jazz,tracks,thunderwing,dinobots,windcharger and legends are buy on sight.

Perceptor is a high maybe.

Couple of notes from Botcon to help convince you:

-Tracks has his flying car mode, so I'm sure his robot mode has wings.

-Thunderwing has a drone plane that looks like the jet his G1 inner shell transformed into. Drone does not transform however.

-Perceptor has a sniper rifle, ala his IDW incarnation.

-Jazz has fold out speakers in car, and robot mode for 'rock and roll' disorientation mode...ala his G1 cartoon incarnation.

I really want to see them do a Trailbreaker and Hoist mold. There is nothing previously made that is close enough for me. I really do like Grapple.

The dinobots looks great. I know it's a computer model at this point, but looks great.

Lugnut does absolutely nothing for me.

Windcharger looks good enough.

-Megatron Legends can be held by MP's if I remember correctly.

SCOURGEis very disappointing looking in this picture. Needs some work before final production, at least I hope.

Scourge looks okay
Jazz looks awesome
Perceptor strange choice of alt mode
Tracks=awesome
i think Lugnut went on a diet
Windcharger doesnt look bad either I hope they repaint/retool him into Tailgate

Damn, most of these are must buys for the Neo G1 collector. Although Scourge is kinda disappointing. Very reminicent of the Botcon Scourge in vehicle mode.

That Dinobot combiner looks nice as well, actually. The colors, from what the blurry photos show, look very G1.

Shadowstream wrote:DELUXE Thunderwing? He should be Supreme class!

Yes. But not that one. Looks like crap. Even the Pretender from '89 looks better. As a major G1 comic character, he deserves better treatment.

I'm really not impressed with these images from Hasbro at all! I think they have too much Bayphilia on the brain and more focused on the next movie line figures than on the Gen-line products, even though Grapple and Thunderwing looks good and the PCC dinobots are very impressive and will be only PCC combiner ill get next year otherwise, Hasbro will keep me saving more money...

Hopefully as the months gets closer, im hopefully see some video reviews of each figures and my future collection wont look so bleak.
