I can't see the symbol on Highbrow. A or D?

[Blurrz]

Who cares? He's flippin awesome!

[Onslaught22]

I'm loving the Highbrow and Tomahawk figs, and I used to really like the terradive mold until I saw the real colors. The first pics of him were a nice bronze, but now they look a little more like Sunkist Orange.... not sure if I want him anymore.

[Nekoman]

Highbrow, Tomahawk and Terradive are all very nice, otherwise I'm not feeling Hasbro's offerings on this front.

[zenosaurus_x]

TerraDive looks fantastic, the Plane and Chopper however, their faces aren't movie enough for me, maybe if I have an appropriate head switch or something...

So I guess out of the new ones, I'll be getting TerraDive and HailStorm.

[Dr. Caelus]

The Tail-Spin / Crimson Skies look on Highbrow is interesting, but given a choice I would have rather had a more realistic representation of the P-38 Lightning.

Also, it seems pretty clear that this is an homage to the Gobots's Guardian Bolt, rather than to G1 Highbrow. The colors and the alt mode loosly match Bolt's toy, and the face kind of vaguely reminds me of his animation model, whereas he bares no similarity to his namesake, outside of having two props.

[Swiftknife24]

Whoa! Looks like they're starting to deliver what we want!

As someone who is fond of film-accuracy and who doesn't yet have Red Rampage and a Ravage, would it be a good idea to get the 'Rampage Among the Ruins' set...(Or stick to my 'Sea Attack Ravage' and Takara 'Desert Combat Rampage' plan...?)

Here's a video of the new Hunt for Decepticon toys which include Tomahawk, Highbrow, and Terradive.

And this officially serves as my test to have BB Code for Facebook videos.

Just noticed that Tomahawk's spring-firing missile launchers have folding clips on them which aren't used to attach the launchers to his vehicle or robot mode. I'm thinking it's storage for the missiles, so they can be kept under the sponson wings without having to keep the spring launchers cocked.

Which is kind of neat.

Edit:

Are Terradive and Sunspot supposed to match?

Guessing Terradive will be remolded as Ramjet, since we already got Thrust and Dirge as ROTF deluxes.

Finally! A Fallen with a proper head, proper articulating hands, a WEAPON, and a color scheme that doesn't suck! I will buy that and throw my other one into the vacuous depths of my storage closet.

I notice that more and more of the new bots and cons are actually coming with guns and other assorted weapons, which leads me to believe that someone is actually listening at Hasbro's helm now.

I thought that was just a repaint, but they did remold the head and hands, and gave him the staff. The original mold is a huge failure, but I might get that one on clearance.

[Megazarak]

Great looking group of figures. Blurr looks cool enough to warrant a second purchase of the mold. The Fallen looks WAY better than the original one. Axor and Dlx Rescue Ratchet look really good as well.

Tomahawk, Terradive and Highbrow all look awesome, with cool weapons and great head molds. Highbrow's head in particular is great cause it looks like he's smiling cause he thinks he's better than you.

[alexison]

Tomahawk, Terradive and Highbrow are awesome. I ama sucker for ariel bots so they are must haves. Breacher loos great, and the fallen isnt too bad. Superior to the first attempts but don't know how i feel about the paint scheme.

[kirbenvost]

Oh wow, Highbrow looks amazing! I am a huge fan of WWII planes, and that is one of the most amazing TFs I have ever seen. I'm really excited about this.

I think I may be skipping PCC so I can collect Generations & HFTD.

Speaking of Generations, Blurr looks pretty good, but for some reason I expected him to look a little better. Don't know why. But I will be buying him for certain. Love the guns.

Agreed. I'd love to see a Wreckers Perceptor to go along with that sniper rifle.

[frenzyXprime]

what is Highbrow's alt mode!!!???

[zenosaurus_x]

I wish I hadn't wasted my money on the old The Fallen, but this one has the accurate face design which I HATE, but the new staff and Hands are awesome....hmmm.

[Noideaforaname]

There's rumor that the Fallen's face is removable..... if that's true I'm SO getting him, regardless of having the same basic mold.

He doesn't seem to have the head-flames/solar panels, instead a lighter-colored neck, and his crown has an apparent joint and split. But I may be looking far to into it.

[Prime Riblet]

what is Highbrow's alt mode!!!???

Lockheed P-38 Lighting.

[Jacob P. Galvatron]

Just awesome.

[Dr. Caelus]

what is Highbrow's alt mode!!!???

Lockheed P-38 Lighting.

A very alternate history version of the P-38 Lightning, what with the stubby, nonfunctional wings, the oversized weapons, the pushed back cockpit, the Star-Trek-style dish array on what passes for the nose, and the generally cartoonish proportions. Really doesn't fit with the rest of the movie toys. Although to be fair I guess Mindwipe's Altmode isn't exactly accurate either.
