My question about it would always be why Hasbro isn't seemingly doing anything about it. Correct me if I'm wrong but they could always go after the youtube videos via copyright strikes/ demonetisation. Yet they never do anything, almost like corporate hasbro don't care, even if some within the ranks do.
A point that stand is that too often, the video review can only be INCOMPLETE because of the lack of instructions and even some accessories in some cases.
So, I cannot consider these as "reviews" but I can consider them as LEAKS. Instead of rumors and pictures that get leaked, it's the toy itself.
So if Hasbro would be consistent to prevent the "thefts", they should also go after ALL kinds of leakers. But we all know that Hasbro is too smart to do that because leakers are the "secret marketing team" that works for free.
That's been my belief for a while
I think Hasbro employees are sincere in their complaints about leaks during the official reveal livestreams. Hasbro doesn't need a "secret marketing team" when they have an actual marketing team. There are other industries that are incredibly protective of leaks, like the movie and game industries, but the knowledge is rigidly protected by NDAs and more compartmentalization of the information. Deals on external IP often extend these requirements throughout the production chain with potential penalties, so there can be explicit financial incentives to control the reveals.
Lego historically has been much better than other toy companies at keeping things under wraps, but their production process is more tightly managed than the big companies. The other major tools that Lego used in the past were things like watermarking catalogs and punishing media partners who published materials, but they have recently permitted media partners to cover leaks more openly, probably in part in response to the rise of YouTubers and others who get the info out there anyway. As for copyright / demonetization, I'm not a lawyer but I don't think they could. To my knowledge, physical objects don't have image rights, the media does. So if a Hasbro marketing video leaked, they could take that down, but if someone unaffiliated shoots their own video, that's the property of the person who filmed it. Box art images could be protected, but it would be difficult and counterproductive for Hasbro to take action against some people for their use and not others after they're released.
I'm an Occam's Razor guy, and in this case I think there's a very simple explanation: it takes a lot of effort and expense to limit leaks, and toy companies have limited tools available. If Hasbro could easily shut them down, they would, but their legal, marketing, and production teams have other priorities.
I know why people call PvP a thief whenever he posts but I don't know why we need to have this debate every time in response.

As to why the debate, who knows? Especially after people are told time and time again to drop it.
However, hopefully this new format can see the end of it.

I thought about that Unicron case too. I never watched the video so I have no idea what the infringing material could have been. I don't think video images of an unlicensed toy based on protected IP, but in any event, I think it's a special case that's not a clean precedent for unreleased Hasbro toys. Hasbro could certainly file a complaint, but would it be upheld? Would it obligate them to go after all toy reviewers or risk being accused of not consistently enforcing copyright, which has broader legal implications? It's not what they can do, it's what they can do without prohibite effort and cost. Certainly going after YTers at all could have a potentially chilling effect on the rest of the community, even those who play by the rules. There are many types of costs to consider.

While it probably doesn't need to work, I don't think it would have been that expensive to make it work as a person can buy relatively cheap microscope set in the toy section as it is for $30-40. So to add a couple lenses in his scope couldn't have cost more than $4 at most.
That said, how many people plan to ever use it as a functional microscope anyways? lol

The 86 movie Autobots were always somewhat larger than the average 84-85 Autobot, there's nothing wrong with the scale.

Messed things up as in going from "How big should he be to fit in the box" to "it costs this much to make him this correct size, what price point should we put him in".

But that was the fun of adding Microchange toys to the line
Though at least Blaster used to work as an am radio

If the products are indeed stolen factory samples that PrimeVsPrime posts, or other Youtubers, it's not really our place to make judgements on it. Ultimately, it just impacts Seibertron.com and myself as it's a lost revenue opportunity for Seibertron.com (because we didn't get to post pictures of something first). If Hasbro wants to make it an issue publicly and/or stop guys like PrimeVsPrime from getting factory samples, then it's a totally different ball game. Factory leaks and movie spoilers are fair game to post on. It's up to the companies involved to prevent those things from happening.

If you really like the look of Blaster and Perceptor, I'd recommend getting them.
Who knows when we'll get another version of either, especially with these stylings...
I'm guessing the next incarnations of any of these characters we've received in the last couple years will have substantially different designs; whether it's due to some play gimmick, or just as an intentional change.

Conversely, you could have gotten a Voyager Blaster with NO cassette whatsoever. I agree the translucent plastic isn't 'ideal', but I don't mind it either. Plus, there's always the chance for an opaque reprint somewhere down the line. It's not like I have a choice - if I want the Blaster (I do, desperately), then I'm getting the Eject - translucency and all.

To me personally, Scourge's colors are like "Scourge at night", while the Sweep's colors are like "Scourge in daylight".

It wasn't a complaint, just a thought. I'm getting Blaster no matter what.
Really, Eject is just a tiny bonus, and never played into whether or not I'd get this figure.
Similar to my extreme dislike of Wheelie and Daniel; although with those two, I found them a complete waste (which is why they're still in the packaging).
But I'll take whatever pack-in's are included with future Dinobots, just because they're that good.
In terms of Scourge vs Sweep, I'd say keep Scourge.
I don't mind the color variation of Sweep at all, but in my opinion Scourge looks better.
It's more Blue-Violet than just a plain Blue, and I dig it. He's just a less "little kid" looking imo.
Not to mention, he visually fits in better with Galvatron and Cyclonus.

Well, going by just those pics, Sweep is definitely the most accurate colour for Scourge. Also I just finished watching The Burden Hardest to Bear and Ghost in the Machine, I agree completely with ur day and night thing. Another reason its hard to decide. That is pretty much the way I was leaning before and why I came here to ask others opinions. Thanks everyone.

But neither fits the bill perfectly. And lighting really effects photography.
And, just looking at the character model makes me wish he had a few more paint apps.

I really think the inclusion of Eject was probably a late decision. Two things should stand out when looking at the art.
First there's no Eject shown, not even in his chest. Second he gun is blue and silver (with some black) like many of the other energon weapons instead of just black. I think at some point they decided to include Eject and make him the Energon accessory instead of his gun.

Something similar is happening at my local Walmart: more than usual Slugs and Grindors on the shelves, to the point a good portion is relocated to the "eye-catcher" aisle at the beginning of the toy section. And that's when they already had a "featured" endcap section before the Transformers aisle.

On the matter of Coronation Starscream and Perceptor...
I'm honestly tempted more by Screamer. I don't already have an Earthrise Starscream so he wouldn't be redundant, and the throne looks nice. Meanwhile, I do already have Titans Return Perceptor and am fairly happy with him.
Do we have confirmation yet about whether this Perceptor's scope works?

Not to this extent... But within the first two weeks of this month my Target had 8-9 Grindors, and 6 Slags...

That endcap is seriously ridiculous. I don't understand how that happens.

I'm not too worried about the other 3 Dinobots getting made... It will happen, just not as soon as I'd like!!
I've double-dipped on the Dinobots... I plan to keep a set sealed.
And who knows, I may sell them down the road. Doubtful, but I won't say it could never happen.
I told someone else from the boards that I could see Hastak making G2 versions for the Selects line.
