Is it the lighting and paint playing tricks, or is the orange claw translucent plastic? Did we already know this, and how well will that hold up over time if displayed in base mode with the rocket standing up?
As good as any 3P indeed, but I hope an off-brand replacement for those 3 pieces doesn't become necessary. Eagerly awaiting more pics.

1. How is anyone suppose to know any of these questions you’re asking? We are all seeing this for the first time and 2. None of it is necessary. If you don’t want transparent pieces that’s up to you. It’s not like a lot of weight is going to be placed on it.

He has every right to be concerned, translucent plastic tends to be a little weaker than solid colored plastic. We don't need to have seen the figure before now to know this, we can tell from experience with other figures. They were transparent in the CG stock images we saw before, but I'm not sure if people really noticed it at the time. It's definitely something people are going to not like, Bumblevivisector is not alone on this. Personally I'm indifferent, but would have preferred solid orange. I will say the parts do look pretty thick and are probably stronger than, say, a thin windshield.
But man, that rocket is massive! Insert "that's what she said" joke here. It appears to have an opening hatch to stick Micromasters in, you can see Countdown standing on it at the top. I wonder if a portion of it also stores in his legs or something, not just his back?

Okay, so sorry I 1. Posed any sort of general question about one part of this highly anticipated and expensive reveal, and 2. -considered the possibility that this might have already been addressed elsewhere, as I'm not omniscient. Sheesh.
And what, someone mentioned that it DOES come with optional opaque parts? I don't understand your second-to-last sentence.
And for the record, regardless, this looks as awesome as I'd hoped.

That’s what she said
Definitely looking forward to seeing more of him. I’m wondering how they get the rocket to be that extended.

So base transformation, is it really as simple as taking the Tank out of the torso and doing the splits, then connecting the track? Not complaining mind you, seems easy though. Wondering where the redt of the rocket goes though.

For those concerned with the translucent claw, maybe it's a kinda rubbery plastic that is a bit flexible. It would be logic because it's less slippery for the rocket to stand and the bot can grab things more easily. Plus less breakage too.

On the size of the rocket, it looks like the left hand extends, but I cant figure out where the ribbed bits of the rocket come from. They look like they are straight after either hand, but confusingly the grooves in the rocket that look like thats where it slots into the shoulder blades are another section further up. I just hope its not additional parts-forming.

Omega Supreme and Springer are absolute must haves. I'm not sold on the idea that Supreme has transparent plastic claws (which he clearly does), but I'd imagine they're that way to represent the fires of the rockets igniting as it takes off\flies, so I like the potential idea behind it.

Has these pair of Battlemasters added to your excitement at the recent reveals of Omega Supreme and Springer or have your systems simply been overloaded with awesome already? Let us know here on the Energon Pub at Seibertron.com!

Smashdown looks awesome, and know I know what Hasbro meant when they said something about hammer Battlemasters coming soon for Wreckers fans.

Now if only it came in blue, I have a certain White, red and blue truck that would like to have it.

As far as I know? It could be some sort of obscure reference but I'm leaning toward new character

SIEGE Skyfire looks great!

I'll guess it, if Astrotain's listed, Blitzwing might be there (i want Apeface and Snapdragon but i would love to see them badly.)

Well I'm happy to be wrong, but I did say we'd find out this weekend one way or another. I wouldn't use this gimmick personally as Jetfire is a bot to me and was only a con for like... Five minutes? But Im happy the choice is there.

Good to see this as a feauture. Especially as I'll be putting Jetfire in the middle of my shelf as a result of his side swapping history. Though, I do wonder if the armor has a similar gimmick or if it's permentantly Autobot

There was a really good Blitzwing just released in Titans return we don't need another one. Astrotrain is a bit different since neither of his alt modes in TR were particularly good. Out of the triple changes he was the only one who really needed "fixing"

I see. but i do own TR Blitzwing, i guess im happy if he was listed too

Digging the Battlemasters, Smashdown’s actually pretty cool!
Hoping that there’s more surprises in store this weekend. Most of it’s already been leaked, and I don’t like having my Christmas spoiled by looking at gifts early.
Posted by Jelze Bunnycat on February 16th, 2019 @ 12:02pm CST
Blast Effect aside, looks more like a mere redeco, not a retool. However, as he completes the Decepticon Targetmaster trio he's a must. Springer... may be one too, just to get a mold different from T30 Sandstorm.

(i did see the vote poll, we have Shockwave, Ultra Magnus, Prime (although in Galaxy Force/Cybertron)
