Basically Big Daddy has Tracks vanity, Divebomb has a leaking reactor like Sunstorm, Grindcore likes heavy metal rock like Blaster, and Jolt was created during the final Allspark battle, then sought out Barricade and Frenzy to learn how to be evil (more proof Barricade lives on).

Thanks Scaleface, I updated the story with the link to the high-res images. Interesting profiles indeed.

Jolt's bio clearly shows that Barricade is alive, but then again.. when have we ever taken toy bios to heart?(G1 Jazz's saying that he is alive.. Jungle Bonecrusher's states that he's alive..... etc, etc.)

More importantly the bio for Jolt stated FRENZY LIVES! I guess you can't keep a bad boom-box down.

That's such an awesome name, and repaint.

I realy like how they got into each one, unlike the tube packed guys that you can just tell they're bored with
Big Daddy is kinda like a 50's greaser, thing of Fonzie when he was still with The Falcons
DiveBomb I realy like cause I think the whole "Toxic Vapor" deal is a jab at a stinky figure.
GrindCore, we all said metal, and they came through for us. He should come with a Pantera CD
Jolt, don't realy care about the figure, but I like the refrence to Baricade and Frenzy. Hopefuly that'll give some closure to that whole issue. But you also have to know that the next set of Bios are only going to negate this set

They might have been able to with most of them, but the Landmine/Grindcore mold would have been next to impossible considering its gimmick.

Probably Grindcore too, for the same reason.
I really dig Jolt's alt mode, but I'm not feeling the bot...
And the colors for Divebomb are a turn-off.
Not a complete letdown, but looks like I'll save a little money for the Animated figs.

Outside of the Plane, these figures are alot of fun, I recomend them all(except the plane) if you don't have them already.
Still it's kinda funny hearing them refered to as "OLD", to me I still consider them fairly recent, but I quess it's all a matter of preception

All the Cybertron figures have normal arms, it's almost boring. There are a little few that don't have normal, but it's practically energon.
Big Daddy, awesome, that's like a cool name for such an altmode, maybe I'll gett'm I allready have Cybertron Downshift which is pretty cool. The bios are cool indeed, they should put some more humor in them in the future.

This is one of the weird cases where the Legends toy actually improved on the mold, being more show accurate and giving him a real left arm and larger feet:

And Jolt has a shield permamently attached to his arm.

big daddy and jolt are next on my shopping list.

But they don't look like movie toys. They're all "blocky" and G1-ish in design.

I may get Grindcore to stand in for one of the constructicons.

It's like a G2 push for the AEC collectors.
