Alt mode looks very well sculpted though, and bot mode is kinda neat. Glad they got all the faction logos on his grill!
Don't ask me why I made this:

I don't think that's his neck. I think it's supposed to be decorative chainmail around his neck.

That would definitely make more sense.
Looking at his scene in the trailer, his head doesn't stick up nearly as far as it does on the figure, which is a little weird. I agree about the shoulder pieces becoming part of the truck front, that's pretty cool!

Arm cannon looks like a cross between Omega Supreme's and Mega Man's, while the rest is like steampunk Beowulf. The neck might be my favorite part, like a part of a torch or exhaust repurposed as mail.
I could end up buying as many toys for this movie as AofE!

Wasted emotion. Going by the info released so far, it will be garbage.Solrac333 wrote:Yeah, I'm passing on all of these. Hope the movie is good.
As for this figure, the truck mode looks pretty good, though I do wish there was more color variety. The robot mode? Not so much. Again, it would be nice if the colors were broken up a little. The legs are too skinny and the back is suffering the same problem that AoE Galvatron had. I do like the head, looks pretty menacing. Overall, I might pick it up on discount. Definitely not a $60 figure.

So, a tad generic in the end, but way better than any of the RotF fembikes, in my book.
I still like this toy for what she is, but hopefully we'll get a more accurate SS toy later on.

Still, I like Scourge overall and I'll be sure to pick him up. Plus I'm sure there will be an upgrade kit to improve him down the line.
I'm looking forward to Leader Optimus Primal to see if he'll be worthy of the "leader" class, of if he'll just be a voyager plus accessories.

The kibble on the back of the alt mode bugs me, but maybe in hand I would be able to ignore it more (as is often the case when handling a toy versus scrutinizing an image for flaws)

thats exactly what I was thinking. not just lockdown, just animated in general with his proportions.

Definitely feels like Lockdown and "classic" Scourge's child.
I'm thinking Freezer might also work as one of his replaceable arms. Also interesting that Scourge's back panels on each side aren't symmetrical and the one on the left is larger and has an interesting tab on it, maybe another place for Freezer to attach to?

The back of the alt mode can clean up nicely. Better than what we got lately (I just could not get over that Galvatron in hand)
What you saw in the first pics is them trying to recreate the look in the film where he has a bunch of scrap in the back.My issue with the alt mode is that gap/hole around the nose area.

What other lines do you buy? While the other lines do tempt me, I always feel ripped off when looking at the price, especially for Star Wars stuff (in either scale).

yegah that looks pretty bad or obvious, seeing the movie pic the barrel not being under the smoke stacks/no door step probaly due to transformation looks off too. At least if the door step was in the right place the barrels could be improvised/upgraded.

The price creeps on all hasbro stuff is even more offputting but I think I've just been a bit transformered out recently -I like some TF toys in every range from botbots, rescuebots to SS or MP.
My other Hasbro stuff is
Power Rangers lightning collection,
GI joe classified even if they dont want people outside the states collecting them,
GI Joe original scale (not bothered if O-ring or not),
D&D cartoon and others (I'll wait to get Huge Grunt cheap to have him forever melting inside the gelatinous cube),
Recently started on marvel legends because I'm an idiot,
also started on Star Wars Retro because of how bad modern media for star wars is to me and I have had all the POTF vehicles I gave to my son come back to me for storage (slave 1, falcon, queens spaceship etc). I was happy enough with having the WOTC minis before another moment of madness.
I'm even tempted for some of the Indy stuff
Also on a side note, I saw in a store today the star wars vintage collection Bo Katana? spelling unknown to me, and her arms can give any optimus primal a challange in ape like proprtions eeeeeewwww.

I got Gladiator vibes as well. Also reminds me of the Witch King of Angmar from LOTR.

Transformers is Hasbro's property, they should have more control.
Which specific toy are you referring to? Scourge and Arcee look pretty close to what we've seen. I ask because the discrepancy may simply be due to toy limitations and not the time factor. Like Scourge's truck mode. That didn't change and yet we see some innacuracies, like the missing gas tank.
Though I am curious to see how wildly different some toys get from the final designs, like all the Hatter toys in the BB line having that mask that she never has in the film.

Like a corrupted, decayed version of Prime.
Also, that face / mask, am I the only one getting an evil Autobot logo vibe form it?
I'm surprised there's no comparison to DoTM Megatron.

It's entirely down to production times. Most toys take 18months to a year to develop or so we have been told. Movie production takes that long, but there is a lot of stuff constantly in motion, so for Hollywood that much lead time is FOREVER.
I don't think Hasbro wants to jeopardize their relationship with Paramount. They aren't in this to tell a story so they want it to be successful, and KIDS aren't going to (as a whole) care about relatively minor detail inaccuracies. Maybe there is compromise, in that Hasbro can design the body and hold off as long as possible for head sculpts, but if I am thinking of this then I am sure they are too. Maybe not though.

Unless a final trailer/movie comes out and it looks really accurate, I'm not pre-ordering.

I was talking more broadly across the movies. I know it's a pipe dream but something could be done.

Paramount is just the distributor, they're not part of the production. Heck, Hasbro has basically been using their own production companies since Dark of the Moon (Dreamworks was only involved in the first two movies).

Now I can't unsee Lockdown, truck edition. Not only does he have the skinny legs, he does have the same silhouette for the head!

Who is that white stealth-bomber-like jet? I can't figure out the right Google keywords to find it myself.

It's a redeco of Revenge of the Fallen scout class Skystalker, called Sunspot. A fantastic little guy, really fun to mess around with. The mold can also connect to the Voyager Class Mindwipe (and all redecos of course) that debuted in the same line.

DAMN!!! Scourge looks great! That is exactly what I wanted to see in a Scourge toy. He is looks really cool, unsettling, asymmetrical, freaky, lanky, and scary. That is a good looking toy! I am SO glad we are fading away from the Bee movie cybertron scenes, those just did not work that well, and were so boring compared to what we can get when we start getting original like this again.
They have not missed with a Terrorcon yet, all 4 seen so far truly look like a lot of fun. I am excited!

Pretty much, while I don't think it's a retool, it's definitely a case of shared engineering.

Its not a remold at all.
It shares a ton of engineering, with Kingdom AirRazor, but is significantly larger.
It basically uses the same transformation and parts only scaled up a bit, so a different larger mold.
