[GetRightRobot]

I'm starting to like the undead looking Megs. That rag covered torso is freakin cool. The rest, meh, we'll see.

[Dead Metal]

Am I the only one who thinks it's hilarious that the red name tag thing covers ether the crotches or the chests? It's like a huge censor bar.


Man, I want those model kits, like right now.

[Flux Convoy]

The kits look pretty good. Really surprised they're reusing the trans-scanning concept. Air Ride is a deco we hadn't seen before too. I can't tell if that's a third head for that mold or the second one. I'm pretty happy that there's so little of the movie stuff that interests me.

[Godzillabot Primal]

Well…………. I guess that solves some mysteries, like the remodel of tomahawk’s head, I expected some repaints to come along, like that possible moon rover or this version of tomahawk, but I mean come’ on first Trust then Arcee, does Hasbro think its funny to make repaints of there worst fig’s



P.S. um.... somebody forgot to post the name of the Tomahawk repaint

[Puck]

So, is Vortex the repaint of Skyhammer or is Skyhammer the repaint of Vortex?

[gavinfuzzy]

Zo My gawd prime has a trailer! but i like the hasbro one with the solar panels,jetpacks, and kick-ass gun. Guess im buying both, cos there's no way im buying fairy princess prime just for his trailer

[Godzillabot Primal]

that is not a repaint of Skyhammer that is a repaint of Tomahawk.

what's so surprising? the reason the trans-scanning figures sucked was because they "transformed".. these figures just have robot modes.

i'm curious as to how tall they're going to be. they look beautiful.

Thanks for clarifying that.

[Bounti76]

So about the only thing they do to the Chromia mold is give her a big honking blade, and then they call her...Arcee?? She's painted exactly the same as ROTF Chromia. It's too bad they never released or used the character model/mold for Elita-1 shown in various ROTF pictures. That was the coolest looking one.

It's surprising because they stunk as toys and flopped as product. These new ones look much nicer.

[Alex Jones]

So Air Raid is a repaint of Breakaway

[OptiMagnus]

Wow...Prime looks good! I might have to get both versions.
Arcee...wtf...she looks more like what Elita-1 is supposed to look like. Might get it anyway if Hasbro releases it. (Remeber how Elita-1 was supposed to be PURPLE, not silver, black, and pink, Hasbro?)
Vortex...eh...I don't know...the Tomahawk mold doesn't look all that great to begin with.
Air Raid...I already have Breakaway and Thrust. Do I really need another one?

The models look kind of neat...but they can't possibly be worth the giant price tag they'll have over here.

[MrMunkeepants]

Awww, Breakaway's redeco has the Thrust head. Shame. I liked the 2pack B/W camo release, but not enough to buy an ugly BB with it. mmmaybe I'll get this one? recoloring the Breakaway head would absolutely sell me on it.

Tomawhawk's repaint into Vortex: I like the head, but not the colors.
exact opposite of my feelings on Breakaway!

another bike sister: there are still ROTF red-card bike sisters on the pegs at my local stores! a new gun isn't going to help the mold sell, especially if it's the same blue as the last time

[Megatron Wolf]

So instead of repainting or moding one of the actual movie Arcee figure they take chromia (that both versions of the mold are still sitting on shelves) keep it the same way it was in ROTF wave1 just with a knife and call it arcee? Tarkaras getting just as bad as hasbro, i really hope they dont do that here in the US cause not only is that figure horrible out of bike mode but its the worst repaint ever. I really like the prime model kit, i miss action figure model kits.

[Optimus1138]

I hope we get that Vortex in America! I don't have Tomahawk, but I always thought the mould looked cool. Vortex should look good in my Classics collection.

[BigBotPrime]

The Optimus Prime Model Kit is a MUST HAVE for me, same thing goes for the Takara verson of Ultimate Optimus \(^_^)/

That's not Ultimate Optimus Prime. That's the regular Voyager with a trailer.

I don't mind if they call it Arcee, as long as Hasbro gets the purple color-scheme right this time. That way I can use DOTM Arcee as ROTF Elita-1, instead of having to import the expensive Takara Elita-1.

[Noideaforaname]

Wouldn't it be something if Air Raid actually got in the movie? Breakaway WAS designed for RotF (and evidently was a late cut), so there could possibly be an existing CG model to "re"use...


Don't tell me that trailer we've been waiting so long for only transforms into a wall.

[Pr1meSuspect]

Ok... So of this wave I gotta get:

Leader- Sentinel Prime

Voyager- Megatron, Shockwave, and Skyhammer

Deluxe- Topspin*, Roadbuster , and Sideswipe

I really want Topspin, his alt mode is so damn cool! I want Roadbuster just to complete the Wreckers but he looks like total crap.

Loving the voyager's I listed, probably on my top 3 DOTM figures

Now I need that 80$ Prime, cause of the trailer and only the trailer. The voyager Prime in wave 1 doesn't look good though.

[rpetras]

Voyager Prime with Trailer is looking mighty tempting!

I hope it will fit well with voyager Battle Blades Prime, as he is a better movie Prime IMO.

I hope we see one of these stateside, as I don't really want to pay import prices for him.
