My gods.
It is a confusing name with a bad abbreviation.
That SG Prime looks so good

I'm not preordering before I can see in hand pictures and reviews. It also depends on the price.
So I'll wait and see.

Windblade was announced some time ago but has gone under several redesigns since the initial concepts. The character was created through the first fan poll that Hasbro ran, having fans choose different aspects of the design. She also recieved several IDW miniseries in the old run, and featured in several cartoon series since then such as RiD2015 and Cyberverse.
What do you think of this model? Will you be adding her to your collections?

This may be my first ever Flame Toys purchase ever.
Once the preorders for her are live at a Canadian online store, I'm so preordering!

Shattered Glass Drift is based from the Shattered Glass concept, popularised by the Mirror Universe from the Star Trek franchise and introduced to Transformers via the BotCon 2008 set. Drift here is depicted as being part of the Villainous Autobots.
Will you be building Drift up? Have you got his regular colour version?

This is from Flame Toys' "budget" line, called the Furai Action line and it is a fully assembled figure. This is a slight reimagining of the character in their style. I comes with a mutant mask head, which is also slightly reimagined, along with some weapons. You'll let us know what you think.

These new images show him with his box and also include two messages images of him combined with their previously released, Star Saber! The indominating looking Victory Saber is a re-imagined combined form for the pair.
What do you think of this high end figure?

Yeah, this is what the original combination should have looked like. Far more creative than just turning Victory Leo into a backpack and boots for Star Saber.

In other news, the SDCC 2021 Furai Model G1 Nemesis Prime exclusive is now available to order at Bluefin for the reasonable price of $40 even. He comes with all the same accessories as the Optimus Prime kit, stands 6" tall and has 40 points of articulation. Release is expected to be August 15, 2021 meaning you wont have to wait long to get the evil doppelganger in your collection.
Like what you see or tired of Transformers that don't transform (even though these two typically transform as is anyway)? Let us know in the Energon Pub Forums!

The company officially announced Friday from the ACG HK 2021 event that the latest entries to the plastic model line will be Bludgeon and Banzaitron! For some this is the most ideal use of the Furai Model line: a Pretender and an Action Master. And no, they don't share any parts, the two martial arts masters will be entirely new sets of molds. Like many Furai Models the pair is designed by Akira Amemiya of Studio Trigger, but lack his trademark stylizations (See: Optimus Prime (Attack Mode), Starscream and Devastator). More as we learn it!

Okay, now we're talking! That Bludgeon and Banzaitron are right up my alley!

There's also Arcee and Blackarachnia in the works. I've seen prototype pictures somewhere...

Banzaitron isn't "undead", only Bludgeon is.
Now, if there's a way to customize Bludgeon into being a pretender shell for a custom, smaller Bludgeon figure, then this is thing will sell like hot cakes. Hopefully, more, non-transforming characters will be released, thus making these figures actually relevant to the needs of more TF fans.

I know, right? I really hope both FT and S7 continue to make more "literal" non-transforming toys. I really think that they're the ones most of us want from a line like this. Then, perhaps Hasbro will wake up and start making RED series versions (but hopefully with better QC).

I was actually contemplating painting my Skywarp up as Acid Storm and I'm glad I held off now! I might have to get this; I have some of Alclad II's Candy Enamel Bottle Green, and I reckon I could give him a really cool deco.

In other news we have some updated shots of the upcoming Windblade kit expected to be out in February in US after multiple delays. And in a little bit of under the radar catchup we have some first looks at Soundwave, Shockwave, and Arcee kits that were displayed in November at SDCC Special Edition. Interestingly while Arcee and Soundwave have heavily stylized designs Shockwave is purely G1 cartoon inspired.
And finally, it isn't just about the models. We're also treated to an early look at Kuro Kara Kuri Cyclonus and Starscream!

Acid Storm looks great too, though given I paint my kits the base colours don't hugely matter.

I am pretty sure that by the time the new colored images come in, we might get a better understanding of how the figure will look. In the meantime, we can only speculate and wait until further notice.

It's fan service for the female fans.
I can't wait for that Arcee to come out. I already have Windblade ordered. I'll get Arcee as soon as she's available to order.

Well said!
Fan service can go both ways.
And some other ways too.
