First up is DOTM Que, who looks spectacular! Note that he has the big gun thing he wears on his back in the movie, and has his tools built in!
Next up is MV6 Bee, who is actually a heavy retool of SS-18! The vehicle shell is largely reused but pretty much all the inner structure is new. He does have door wings but they can reportedly swivel down now.
We also have a repack of 86 Jazz:
WFC Ironhide, who actually has more retooling than I thought from Ratchet. Includes what’s either a scatter blaster or EMP shotgun:
And lastly is AOE Prime! Important note that the colors in this render are incomplete per Hasbro. Love that the sword and shield are properly scaled! Definitely need to see more pics!

Que, is calling me, but will need to see alt-mode pics.
BBMBB is o.k, no real interest.
Definitely interested in Jazz in the toy colors.
Ironhide, yes, gimme…
And Prime, ohh my… yes!.
Need to see truck mode pics though.
More and higher quality pics of Apelinq in this completed eBay sale.

It's possible that it could be a retool, but you'll end up with something quite small. A modified oversized (slightly oversized) could be made, but doing it for a mold that is almost 8 years old would be baffling and extremely disappointing.

If you're speaking about KSI Boss, that was just a straight repaint. Oh and there's Cogman too.
But if they simply repack the voyager Optimus with some extra accessories to make it a "leader", I'll be pissed.

Hence why I specified "retool" rather than a simple redeco.

If they do that, I hope they'll put much more effort than what they did with Springer.

I don't think this is a retool of the TLK Voyager, that one integrated some of the alt kibble on the arms and had a lot of visible truck kibble on the legs. This one does still appear to have a backpack but the leg kibble is hidden much more. Excited to see more though!
To manage expectations regarding the scale though, in Studio Series scale this leader Prime will be smaller than the TLK Voyager. The Studio Series trilogy Prime was undersized but they unfortunately made SS AOE Galvatron scaled to that figure, so this Prime will likely be roughly the same height as SS-32. He may have more accessories to bump him to leader class but we'll have to see, his sword and shield appear properly scaled so that's a good start!

Widowmaker is officially being called “KSI Widow” on her packaging. Can’t call her Widowmaker due to overwatch.

Both the Overwatch character and the concept art looks like it represent the SAME character too!
Both have the same vibe, the same overall style, and the same deadly sexiness.
I wonder how a normal deluxe toy of her will be made without looking like a girl with kibble cancer?

This won't be the first time. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
There's that infamous Thunderblast from the Cybertron cartoon whose details appeared in certain angles.
Also, the first run of Transmetal Blackarachnia had a removable brassiere and the peg-holes were inside the brassiere. They quickly reversed that after. No pictures unfortunately.
Regardless, please stop thinking that female beauty is automatically equal to "porn." That attitude led to all that ugliness in Western media. No wonder anything from Asia sells more.
And speaking of "lazy design", I find it lazy when we have a curvy fembot, but it's just a "Barbie" shellformer.
I'll be impressed to have a "sexy" curvy fembot with absolutely NO shells that transform into a vehicle. Especially in the deluxe scale and budget.

It's happened before. G1 Darkwing was released in 1988, three years before Disney would release Darkwing Duck and forever keep that "Darkwing" Trademark for themselves.Glyph wrote:(though I'm genuinely shocked that it was 3+ years before Overwatch).
Don't worry, Hasbro's family-friendliess is likely to nip that in the bud.Glyph wrote:and the bare chest...

This design, however, with its absolutely pointless bare breasts on a combat robot...? Suggests to me that the point was indeed "sexualised", not "beautiful". And while we're here, beauty doesn't automatically equate to "slim and curvy with big boobs" either.
The engineering to combine the two designs is more challenging of course, hence the prevalence of shellformers. But Minerva / Strongarm not curvy enough for you? ROTB Arcee? Energon Arcee?-Kanrabat- wrote:And speaking of "lazy design", I find it lazy when we have a curvy fembot, but it's just a "Barbie" shellformer.

--EDIT--
Yeah, I was mostly surprised by the overall similarity in design, not just the name. If you'd shown me the design without a date on it, I would have guessed one was "inspired" by the other - but then, I suppose there's only so many places you can go with the name "widow maker" and the idea of a femme fatale (paging Blackarachnia...), and Overwatch didn't exactly originate the concept either.Sabrblade wrote:It's happened before.

(Kind of etymologically interesting to me that the term "widow maker" has acquired that "femme fatale" idea, actually. As I understand it, it originally came from military slang? And has applied to a handgun, a car - bonus points if they give Widow a Porsche 930 alt mode! - a British rock band and many other things. I wonder whether cross-pollination with "black widow" gave it the "steal your husband" side connotation?)

So far, all "sexy" cars and jets are just girls wearing boxes. T-30 Arcee got close to get it right.
But to be realist, having a fully curvaceous fembot with a truck/car altmode with minimum kibble can only be done at the voyager range at the bare minimum.
Posted by Glyph on October 27th, 2024 @ 12:19pm CDT
But yes, motorcycles and organic modes do tend to mesh better with the slighter, slimmer frame and curves of the standard battle-bikini femme design.

My main problem with all iterations of Windblade is for the altmode. Sure, the bot usually look very feminine, huge boots or not, but the jet is usually just a girl wearing a pointy hat, and a huge jetpack. A jet with a female torso hanging under with mannequin arms hugging its sides looks very, very daff. Even the expensive 3P "Windblade" falls into that trap.
I wish for a voyager Windblade that would be able to manage her kibble brilliantly in bot mode (I can accept huge knee-high "boots" and a minimum backpack like the still very good Legacy mold) but the jet would be able to hide the arms and fem-torso flawlessly.
Also, I have a dream fembot design in mind, but I wonder how to make it. I'd like to make a HUGE-MAMA fembot. Like, "ultra thicc" but still curvy, with a monster-truck altmode. The wheels of the truck would have a suspension gimmick. A gimmick that would remain where the wheels will go in bot mode. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The transformation would be a mix between TF Prime 1st Ed Bulkhead, and MP Ironhide/Ratchet.
Making the thing from scratch without any access nor knowledge of how to design and print 3D custom pieces will be challenging.

But wasn't your complaint before that the femme torso hides inside a box? Not that that's any different from a masc torso really, usually for cars it's the arms or back kibble hiding the sides of the torso, for jets it's just square arms down the side.-Kanrabat- wrote:I wish for a voyager Windblade that would be able to manage her kibble brilliantly in bot mode (I can accept huge knee-high "boots" and a minimum backpack like the still very good Legacy mold) but the jet would be able to hide the arms and fem-torso flawlessly.

You misunderstood.
I don't mind some level of shell-forming to form the altmode. It's a thing since ever. It's when the bot carries the shell parts all over its body with zero bot integration that it is lame and lazy.
As for Skyla, she's a big fat MEH. Change her voice, and that's a male. Cyberverse's Clobber look more female than this.
Also, claiming you're "oh so mature" is ironically a sign of immaturity.

Because by your logic, everyone who makes and consume such products are 12.
I'm not a church going Christian nor a woke "feminist."
I'm just a geek who loves his anime and Asian games like Nikke Goddess of Victory and Stellar Blade without any shame.

How serious are any of us suppose to take someone who says "And while we're here, beauty doesn't automatically equate to "slim and curvy with big boobs" either.", when it absolutely does. It may not be the "Be all, end all.", but it is a very safe bet as where one starts as the default. I mean, I like my bots thicc, but I also can't deny the billions of dollars spent daily to photoshop and edit women to be equated with beauty as slim, curvy and big boobed.
Devastator looks amazing! If it is as sturdy as Menasor, it will be better than CW. Although I am not into it, I am glad people are getting Bayverse stuff again. Seems like a fair mix. I am super excited as my SS86 Prime should be here tomorrow. I also got my pre-order in for gamer Skywarp. He is the one I was waiting for to try out this mould.
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on October 28th, 2024 @ 1:58pm CDT
First up, spent some time with TFOne Prime. He is pretty ok, though I do not like the diaper.
I also found a Skywarp, so the bee movie section of the shelf has a new addition
And the updated shelves
I also got Megatron. He is alright. He feels light though. And I wish his colors were different. He also really needs the cannon from the end of the movie in his actual Megatron form, this feels like D-16 MKII and not megatron
As for the new reveals, at last Hatchet comes out! And I really need to see more of Knight Prime!
