G1 Prime repaint looks good, I like that they updated the artwork in toon colors. Might be one to keep in the box. Wish they would have still used a sticker on the trailer just to cover those screw holes.
Oh, and it turns out that leaked CC Prime box was real.

It does match Soundwave and Blaster though.

Also, for those keeping count, this is the 30th (31/32 if you count Missing Link) release for a G1 Optimus Prime in 40 years.

Me as well. I have the animation colors Missing Link Convoy, but no actual version of an original Prime, so this would cover all of the bases nicely.

And those legs on Megatron. Are we sure that's not supposed to be Megaempress?

But seriously, all of these rock, even that Kup.

How is it that we've completed the Decepticon Targetmasters, Decepticon Headmasters, 2/3 of the small Decepticon Headmasters, small Decepticon Targetmasters,..... and yet we still don't have ANY small Autobot Targetmasters or Headmasters, we only have 2 of the Autobot Targetmasters (from different lines, and 4 years apart)? It doesn't make sense to me, especially when you could retool the Beachcomber mold fairly easily to make Sureshot.
Did they literally just replace the Sureshot with a freaking Origins Bumblebee re-release? That is some crap. Hopefully they can release Sureshot in selects or the next toyline

Kup is great, definitely a buy even if I haven't for round to picking up soundwave yet. I don't know how they keep doing bludgeon figures that I don't want but I'm wanting ruckus.
Kitt almost looks like they have used a classics figure as a base in order to actually get a good looking car mode. Not too sure about the pop up lights deco, the blue on the thighs (red might have been better) and no chest hair...
and in the one Tf they really needed battery/led they could have done some light pipe techno wizardry - though mp rhinox and other figures shows things have gone a bit backwards in that area compared to g2. Having said all that, looks great and I'm picking him up but will definitely need to find an old powertron version to go next to him.
The dino king packaging is really good, I might pick them up having had no interest in the dinobots. In combined mode they will should avoid looking like recolored dinobots

Friendship? Dinoking is a PulseCon exclusive so not until PulseCon which is September 13 this year (Friday the 13th). Last year they went up at 4pm EST for Premium, 5pm for everyone else, probably the same this year.

As far as the Knight Rider collaborative figure is concerned. Looking at the figures mold and coloring, I have to ask: Stakeout is that you?
