More Images of Deluxe Crankcase and Starscream

Probably because all these guys are just randomly guessing how they actually go.

is it just me/the angle of the shots...but is "crankcase/shrapnel" flipping the bird with each finger?

Crankcase looks pretty good I really like the robot mode, but that gun's pretty weird on the alt mode(not near as bad as Barricade's claw thing ). But you could just take it off anyways...

Still on the fence with crankcase, main problem is the bug eyse im really getting sick of all the cons having bug heads. Still dont see the point in making Megatron a truck, every time i see him i think octane not megatron.

They look pretty good, Crankcase doesn't have as much back kibble as I was expecting and the only problem I see with Starscream is his paint apps are lacking in robot mode. I'm starting to like what we've seen so far except for Optimus.

Why is he Crankcase all of a sudden? I'm still kinda hoping that he's Shrapnel.

Considering it's about making money, I'm surprised we havn't seen repaints of Leader class Starscream making G-1 repaint, Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Ramjet, and that this deluxe wouldn't eventually lead to that too?

But pass on the deluxe version.

I always thought these two transformer toys looked good. The deluxe SS is decent, though I am not sure I will pick him up considering I have the leadclass one. I still think the SUV is the insecticon Shrapnel. Not a fan of the oversized weapons at all. Waste of plastic and actually works to the detriment of the toy line in my opinion. And whats up with the junky looking HA figures this time around? It seems like everyone on this site is in love with that horribly looking Buggy and Copter. I think those are trash.. If i put that next to my other HA figures they would look like complete garbage. A sweet looking Pontiac Solstice sitting next to ... a GI Joe looking 4 wheeler that is all weird looking... it doesnt even look like a 4 wheeler I have ever seen in the real world. And the Helicopter is worse. Looks like they have plans to ruin the best Transformers toy line.

Why the denial of the name "Crankcase"? Crankcase was listed as a name on the leaked toy list and more than likely the owners of Crankcase had the packaging with it.

I like both. Finally, some good-looking figs.
