That Elita-1 looks more like Arcee than Arcee did.

so how come these look more "transformer-ish" ? lol
i have no problem with the movie designes (both in movie and toy) but how come all these other characters look like typical transformers and havent kept the "realistic" style as the movie characters?

Armourhide looks sweet. I wouldn't mind Skyblast, Air Raid and Elita One either. Wish they would stop repainting that strongarm mold though.

Elita-1 can cause other transformers to overheat from her attraction field? OKKKAAYY...
Plus someone doesn't know how to transform Armorhide. Could hasbro just hire a geek to look over their modes in the photos? Would help a lot.

These are real hit or miss. It's nice to see the Elita name finnaly get used, but it would have been better seeing it used on a fresh figure.
I've been saying it, how many times do I need these same figures?

They're repaints of Scout figures from the preceding Energonand Cybertronlines, that's why.

There seems to be a lot of exclusives for the movie line.

Technically the Energon Arcee mold has only been used once for a general release toy. The Paradron type was a Japanese exclusive, the Botcon trio were convention exclusives, and these two movie ones are Target exclusives.

I agree. Classics didn't have this many. I might try to get Skyblast and Elita-1 though, to replace some pieces.

i'm guessing its to fill a lower price point request by target and repainted basics is what works.
Overall I do like the color scheme on these basic characters and its strange I really like the bike girl mold so getting two more versions of it makes me happy.

Someone at the TF site has a sense of humor. The filenames on the Elita One pics are named "l33ta"

I want/wanted all the scout figure exclusives... but at $8 a pop I can't afford them!
Will still get Skyblast and probably AirRaid too, as I love that mold.

Whatever Hasbro! Just because you slap the name "Elita-One" on the package doesn't mean anything. We're STILL waiting for actual G1 accurate Arcee & Elita-1 figures! How many more years are you gonna waste? Now every female Transformer has to be a damn bike?

Bad for you, good for me. I finally get to buy a Clocker figure, and I don't have to get ripped off on ebay to do it. Plus, he looks better than original Clocker IMHO.
Armohide...this black one will be Nemesishide.

These colours and that bio make Armorhide even more badass.

Its an odd collection of moulds 3 from Energon 2 from Cybertron, anyway:
Loving the Skyblast repaints. Gonna get them both if i can. It sucks they are target Exclusives, but ohhh well.
Strong Arm is mis transformed. I can't believe they can't unfold his legs and rotate his waist. Such a simple transformation, and still they get it wrong. According to the Box even a 5 year old should be able to transform them.
Anyway when are they supposed to be out in Target stores?
