I don't have T30 or Siege Chromia so I'll probably just get them as a two pack. If I end up not liking Chromia too much she'll become custom fodder or something, possibly as a Solus Prime? I think she has the look for it no?

T30 chromia is a pretty decent toy though, well worth having.

I don't mind the removable backpack. But they could have at least made it transform into something. Maybe a little drone or something. Simple partsforming is pretty lazy.

Since the details on her forearms don't match any detail on her alt mode, it looks like her robot and alt modes share exactly zero parts.

Kinda reminds me of that AOE First Edition Optimus.

It does, however, integrate the front wheels into the legs fairly decently. The backpack, not so much.

So, after seeing the new Skorponok pics, I started thinking. Do we know if Fasttrack has any Titanmaster interactivity? Or is it going to be like Cog where the only interectivity is the 5mm posts and ports? I'm hoping for some, but I seriously doubt any is there

Just another in a long line of examples for why G1 Arcee is overall just a terrible design period.

Just one of the most unconvincing Transformers as well as a bit of a tacky one. (Even ignoring her Leia ripoff theme)

It's thunderblast from cybertron. However, she had a miniscule bit of alt mode intergration with her feet being part of the ship, bu that was it.

Oh, wow. Arcee looks bad. How can vehicle mode look so bad then it doesn't integrate? I was gonna get it just for kicks, but now I'm not so sure.

Well PrimevsPrime’s review answers the question.

“Is dead Prime and the Alternate Universe Optimus Prime listing the same thing?”

Yes they are. The Product Numbers are the same. (E7462)

So this thing is supposedly going to be a Amazon exclusive.

So...even though Earthrise has had an extremely slow start, some places still not getting wave 1 toys yet, anyone have a guess as to when we could start to see wave 2? I'm hoping for the first weekend of July...for something ANYTHING really as its just been so long, something new to look forward to would be a nice distraction. Sure I have all my pore-orders in, but with dates subject to change, they are not definitive, so its really all up in the air at the moment.
Bucket/Want List: Botcon 2016 Customization Class Ratchet (G2 Deco), or Customization Class Ratchet (Marvel Comics Deco) **would also be willing to pay for an Unpainted Botcon 2016 Ratchet, TT Legends Fortress Head (only) with working Electronics

As bad as these shelformers are, I'm not sure they're quite as bad. At least Thunderblast incorporates her shins and feet. An argument can even be made that that Prime's legs have some incorporation. Arcee on the other hand...

No need to look at third party, they themselves did a much better job in the past.

Because 3rd parties have no budget when making stuff. They design it and then figure out the price and then charge $80+ for it and you have no problem paying for it. hasbro has a budget and restraints as well as making toys for everyone. Not just grown adults who never grew out of playing with toys.
