In-Package Images: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Deluxe Bumblebee, Wheeljack, Soundwave and Laserback - Cyberverse Bumblebee, Smokescreen, Airachnid, and Bulkhead

First! Some of these look pretty cool. I am kinda diggin that Lazer Back. Not too crazy on color but neat.

nice to see that the laser on the back of Laserback come off completely. Probably get him now, as that was my main concern.

want a bigger version of that Roadbuster Bulkhead though.

Hasbro, I know you intend to throw back to Beast Machines with Beast Hunters, but doing so with the packaging having the same art goes a little too far for me.

I was just thinking the same thing. I had hoped we were past that after all this time.

If these came out when I was a kid (ironically, given the comparisons, during the Beast Era) I'd have been all over the dragon Predacons. I was soooooo crazy about dragons and dinosaurs back then, haha.

The retooled versions of the non-Predacon TFs make me think of all those strange varieties of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I had as a kid.

Regardless of whether Bumblebee and the other pre-existing characters get the beast makeover in the animation or not, I'll only buy the figures if they all get the treatment.

Except Optimus. He's bought.

I'm kinda into Lazerbeak but i don't really have room for it in my collection. All will be a pass. Bumblebee looks ridiculous all gunned up like that.

They need new Autobots. I'm starting to get annoyed by 6 million decepticons against 5 Autobots......ANYHOW, sorry about that little rant. Back on topic.

Ah, the "why is it always Earth" argument. I quite like the ep whee Alpha Trion said " i saw you were going to be there, so I sent all of our junk there first for ya."

Froma storyline standpoint, they couldn't do it on Cybertron, there's no one on Cybertron now. Its dead. megsy really doesn't care about his homeworld now, since he just used it to villify Optimus Prime for destroying it. Also, there's this great big smoking artificql Butte that used to be the Autobots' base and housed the space bridge thingy that lets them get off the Earth. They went back to stop Megatron from destroying the Earth, which I quite appreciaite since the little blue marble hS been my home for twenty years, and then he blew up their only way of leaving.

What? Wheeljack's ship? We do remember the scene of Prime rather objectionally crammed into the too small cockpit, right? Fit inside six Autobots will not, and i doubt Wheeljack will plY Taxi and run them one at a time.

I don't think this will be more than a one-season subline though, either. Three tends to be the run for Hasbro.

I can't be the only one who sees this and thinks of Jetstorm.

FALCOOOOOoon.SPEAAAR!
is it bad of me to say they all look like crap?
