Knockout has a freaking FLAIL! The last time I recall a Transformer with a flail weapon, it was MP-05 Megatron.

Is Animated Swoop before MP-05?
And doesn't Takara's AM Bulkhead have a flail Micron?
Sorry, didn't mean to be rude, just curious!
Knockout and Vertebreak both look like straight repaints with very minor tweaks.
They look pretty, I'll give you that! But not for my shelf.

Ahh, I had forgot about him. I think he came afterwards.

I think that's more of a static weapon, no chains involved (IIRC).

Although it's nice that Arcee final gets a painted head crest. Possible head swap with her PRiD counterpart??

I actually am really liking this Croc-Out figure. The gator armor is very appealing. However, getting him would break my rule of only buying Beast Hunter Autobots and Predacons. At this point I really don't think anybody will get an upgrade on the show except for Optimus. I could be (and I hope that I am) wrong, but I have been avoiding the ugly BH versions of the Decepticons. This may be my exception, especially since I love Knockout's character so much. We'll see.
Arcee looks pretty cool too. I like how her crossbow is incorporated into her alt mode. Vertebreak's colors are interesting, but not enough for me to get him since I already have Lazerback.
Grimwing looks great! I can't wait to get him!

Vertebreak is, but Knock Out features some pretty extensive new tooling. New grille pieces, new sides of the hood, new arms/doors, new legs, new rear section of the car, new head (the crest curls back more). Only the connecting parts are the same tooling.
Speaking of Knock Out, looks like he's got more yellow on him this time. Let's hope it stays that way. I'm digging the alterations made to him, like the chomping teeth design on the grille area, and his weapon, and they even made some subtle changes to his legs, They have more ridges and whatnot. AND HIS SHOULDERS ARE RED! I might pick this one up. Maybe.
Arcee we've seen before. I probably won't get her. Vertebreak may just be a Lazerback redeco, but I'll get him because I'm getting all the Predacons.

Come on, this is Hasbro's official product photos we're looking at. The actually figure will probably be brown.
He does look good though. Makes me think of a vehicular Fuzor of Terrorsaur and a crocodile. I wasn't going to get any of the returning characters from RiD, but this one might sneak its way in.

As for Arcee...quick, someone put a Cybershark head on her! I'm seriously curious how it will look.

The only other Decepticon, so far, that SHOULD be in a Deluxe mold.

Yep.

Yep again.
I think it's been long enough since we got beastformers (aside from Grimlock) that we embrace this very colorful, varied line. All we need now is a Megatron.
(And a Ser-Ket. C'mon, Hasbro, it's just a straight redeco!)

Convention exclusive and I quit. Don't even go there, Hasbro. You love redecoes. Get on it and leave Lazerback alone.

They're not done with Lazerback yet. What about that "Scourge" retool we saw in the advertisements a few weeks back?

I'm on the fence about Croc-Out... That head sculpt is just PERFECT, but those green armor pieces...

I really hope that come mid-season we'll have the Dinobots on the show. Could imagine one of the 'Bots being cornered by Predaking, only for a robotic T-rex to suddenly stomp him from above. And THAT would be the last scene for that episode!

@Mkall......didn't Animated Oilslick have a flail? More of a beer barrel on a chain but you get the idea. At least it was on a real(plastic) chain. I think it can be construed as a flail.
BatCee is pretty neat to me. All those goofy ass weapons hanging off her in alt mode are ridiculous but those bat wings are intriguing to me. They should have darkened her blue a little bit more if they're going with the bat motif. Just a touch more of the macabre and i woulda bought her on sight. Little too bright for a bat bike if you ask me.

Are you sure Arcee's motif is a bat? I'm getting more of a fish vibe.

Fish eh? I like that better than a bat. Maybe I didn't look close enough either. But I can bet behind the fish concept.

I was trying all day to figure out what the fish was called, but now I'm home and can actually use Google reasonably well. XD
It looks to me like a lion fish inspired design.
