Same stock photos but still purdy.

Oh, Dispensor.

The others look nice, but not enough to drag me into importing any of the figures, were I to decide to buy them.

Pay attention Hasbro U.S. This is how you do it. I'd go from protesting all but one of the figures in the Movie line to happily picking up not just 'Bee but Crosshairs, Not-Slag, Protoform Optimus (although I've seen better kitbash repaints but this one still rocks) and Dispensor and Devastator if the U.S. products actually looked this good. I know it's not that they can't do it, I was at Target yesterday and saw the Target exclusive Prime:BH Abominus 5-pack which kicks ass over the regular releases which are now peg-warmers. Even though I have the regular ones I was STILL tempted to spend the money on the Exclusive set. Presentation, Hasbro! Give us stuff that looks decent like in the pics. above and people WILL throw more money your way!

I loved the hasbro evasion prime but this one is amazing. The hasbro one can go somewhere. Im getting takaras. As well as crosshairs, classic bee, the HFTD voyager prime and dispenser.

If only I had the money

Oh well, the US versions are several times cheaper, especially if I wait for a sale

there's no one out there who wishes hasbro would step their game up more than me and wish they'd want to make money AND please their fans rather than just simply make money.

that example is pretty terrible especially since the targets, at least in my area, can't give those sets away.

Be careful about making assumptions based on your own personal experience. At my local Targets, the Abominus 5-pack has been warming shelves for months. The individually-packaged versions of the figures have been much more scarce.

Uh, weren't the Dinobots supposed to be in gray and black? I was also under the impressiom of Classic Prime having the colors shown in the film...

Takara has already revealed one Dinobot (Slag) in G1-colors, and there will probably be a movie-accurate repaint of OP as well. This is just the main line figures.

These look really good! I especially like the metallic purple on Slug, and the chrome weapons on Bumblebee look pretty nice too. Kinda gives a Microman feel.

That Bumblebee looks very nice. They all do. Very pleased with these pictures.

I like that they painted Scorn's weapon. Jeez, I didn't even have to look the name up that time, I really am liking these Movie Dinobots!

even takaras AoE stuff looks like crap, scorn is still the only good looking figure there. The repaints of the older stuff looks good though, especially proto prime & dispensor.

I sound like a broken record but the paint jobs on those Takara bots beat Hasbro's pathetic effort hands down. It's a real shame they'll cost an arm and a leg to import.

I actually think the AoE molds look worse with the Takara decos. Grimlock doesn't even have his beast mode eyes painted.

Looking forward to the Evasion Mode Optimus & Grimlock 2-pack, where OP has the faceplate.

C'moooooon HasTak, daddy needs a new Classics Prime!

Protoform Optimus looks good

An Evasion Mode Optimus with a choice of decals (stickers) for shoulders eg. flames or Autobot symbols would be nice for the 30th Anniversary Generations with the shoulders and elbows in grey plastic.

Strangely, I'm kinda warming up to this version of leader class OP. While it's actually less movie-accurate than the mainline version, the fact that it doesn't "shell-form" scores some major points with me.

I still don't know why HasTak refuses to add just two more steps to the transformation and get the fuel tanks to fold the frakk up into OP's back.

Seriously not a fan of the yellow windshields either.

Evasion mode OP...I just wish he were leader class sized.

Picking up deluxe AoE Bumblebee simply because I like doing charity work.

No, actually, I need a cheap subject to practice airbrushing on, and all that bare plastic on his bot mode is just screaming for a nice coat of Titanium silver.

After seeing Battle-blade BB and Protoform OP getting reissued, I'm hoping for a possible 2007 movieverse Arcee. Deeply regret not getting that one when I had the chance.

I might just pick up Crosshairs.
