I still dont get why fireflight has a faceplate when he is supposed to have a mouth. But then hasbro has a chance to get Blast off right and use the fireflight head but instead the elect to give Blast off a mouth by using the slingshot head. Morons. Its not rocket science hasbro...

Well, THESE are images for the Unite Warriors gang, so apparently almighty and faithful Takara can't get it right either.

It's based of the original toy mold. Which is a completely legitimate way to go.

The picked out detail is so gorgeous. It makes you really appreciate all the molded details.

Yuuuuuuup! A mix of the original toy and the original anime colors. Winning!
Scratching my head on why the sudden attention to detail. Intention of getting this or not? If the latter, then no biggie issue.
As for the Combaticons, still toooooooooooooooo early to tell what their final product will look like and given how TT always does their own "Sinatra", maybe let's jus relax, sit down and throw away your shoes and just enjoy the show. Who knows? Maybe TT will do another Slingshot and Groove surprise?

I feel like this is a one-off. My AB is perfectly square with the rest of the team. I actually like the backwards configuration too, with the white planes as legs and the black as arms. it looks better.
As for these guys: Individually I do not like their paint job as much as Hasbros. Seems to be a theme with these guys: i just like the hasbro paint better

The detent ring on the interior of the left shoulder of the robot mode for the a/b model is off by a fraction of a degree. If you sit a/b of a flat surface on his shoulders with his head back (like for arm config.) the port actually doesn't make a 90 degree angle like every other cw limb. It sits at like 89.5 or 89 degree angle.
It's most noticeable when, as a limb, the leg isn't parallel with any other leg, or as an arm it points inwards towards the thigh when all the other arms point slightly away from the body. I noticed it when superion kept falling over when a/b was used as a leg, since the detent ring is off, the difference becomes more exaggerated the further back the knee is bent. I've noticed it in optibotimus' review of a/b and blades, and others.
Try it out for yourself, I can't fix it b/c of the pins holding the body together, but by extension both defensor and bruticus will have this problem

Looking over Fireflight's cartoon head vs. his toy head... I am SO glad the Generations toy went with the design of the toy head because Fireflight's cartoon head has got to be the most BORING head design ever!
I mean look at that thing! It's just a box with a face! And a very bland-looking face at that! One of the dullest head designs ever seen.
The toy had such a cool design with a mouthplate, horns, a forehead crest, and everything, yet the animators didn't even try to capture any of that in cartoon form. They just ignored it entirely and went with... this!
Even Silverbolt's head in the last picture looks so much cooler with its closer adherence to Silverbolt's toy head.
Save the lousy box head for a MP, gimme the awesome toy-based face for this figure any day.

Plus, the toy head looks more distinctive as is. The animated head, especially in that last image, looks too much like Slingshot's and Air Raid's.

From antennae to toe, I'd say about 11-12 inches. I do not have a ruler with me, otherwise I'd give you an exact amount

Looks like 11"/28cm to me too, but only did it quickly.

I don't mind that it's not the same.
In fact, seeing more and more pics has me ready and excited to order this set.
I like the look of this way more than either version of Defensor.
Tahnite may be the night!!
