While Cyclonus looks amazing I'm thinking I'll need to see the Henkei one, it seems Hasbro has used the dark purple of the G1 toy rather than the lighter shade that he had in the cartoon.

Inferno looks brilliant and the Vector Prime repaint is good too.

Stop now, or you will receive warnings. Thank you.


Not to keep a negative vein going but I thought this was a really good example of how things can get nasty quickly, and is very avoidable.

Wouldn't it be nice if posts could be constrained to comments on figures we are planning on buying and not pooping on lines we don't even collect? It is rather inevitable that declaring a figure be better off not being made is going to illicit negative responses.

IMHO, thereis a substantial difference between wishing a figure not be made and wishing that Hasbro had made different choices in the design/paint.

For example, I don't collect animated, so I don't stress myself out about the line and don't bother to post negative comments on figures I obviously don't appreciate like those who collect them.

I do collect Classics and anything TF comic related, and I love Classics and G1 repaints. Thanks Hasbro for the "fan wank." It is about time we got some love. Odd how in the original post it was made to sound Hasbro was doing something wrong by giving back to the adult community. :shock:

Anyway, more on topic. These all look insanely great. Will certainly be getting the minis, Inferno, Cyclonus, Hound, SS along with the VP repaint. Only thing is I do hope they darken up Brawn and hound. The greens are a little too bright. IMO they should be more of an olive green. Still, the mold look awesome. I can't wait!!

Habro, another "fan wank" please, I'd like the other 2 Rainmakers. Acid Storm is lonely. ;-)

I'll be getting many of these, but I JUST ordered Takara Screamer.

That kinda makes me mad.

It's actually cool that they are releasing a more toon accurate Starscream.

Other than Cheetor these all look great. I can't wait for that Hound/Ravage combo. I'm glad I never got VP in the Cybertron line because that new paint scheme looks really good.

Nope, he isn't. Even if they made an A3 repaint (remolded head) of him for Botcon, it's still not him.

These pictures make me very happy. I dont think there's a single one of those I won't get except the robot heroes but thats because I don't collect them. Bravo hasbro 2009 will be a great year to be a transformers fan.

One more thing could hasbro get whoever does these pictures to transform them right, I really want to see cheetor with his arms done right. Then theres Shockarm prime

They charge that much for him nowadays? Glad I got him during commercial release.

A nice bunch of figs, most of whom I'll end up owning.

Bruticus will be a pass, I think I'd rather track down a Cryo for a second version of that mould and with all seven previous Hasbro releases of the Classics Seekers, Henkei Starscream and (on their way soon) Henkei TC and SW I don't really need another Starscream from that mould, although he is a lot nicer than the 'air show' colours of the first Classics release.

I still prefer the look of the Jizai Cyclonus over this one, but it'll be nice to own a version that doesn't fall apart every time you pick it up. The Hasbro one will be a shelfmate for Uni Galvatron while the Jizai can hang out with Airanhod Galvatron when I get around to finishing the paint on him.

Biggest surprise has to be The Last Autobot. Definate, definate purchase. I'm really hoping that the production version looks as good as the test shot. The wealth of moulded detail on the figure looks to be brought out really well by those paint aps.

Animated Blurr is one of the best Animated figure i've seen. Although i'm not liking the hood-weapon thing.

Universe Inferno, Hound, are Cyclonus are superb! Can't wait to get my hands on them.

Hound is so much better than Binaltech Hound.

I wished they done something more than just simply recolor Starscream. This figure is not bad. But still got a lot of room for improvements. Like for example, find a way to fix the big hole under the jet mode, and redesign the legs to give them true "Classics-grade" articulation. Without building the whole figure from ground up.

Well, I've just had to put a freeze on my TF spending for a while (good thing my City Commander set was already ordered), but I've GOT to find a way to own these things--they all look amazing. Cyclonus, Hound, Inferno, Animated Blurr and Swindle...heck, even the legends "minispies" are all gold!

I wonder if McDonald's is hiring for the night shift...

Why is Slag named Snarl?

I also wish they would do the other two rainmakers to complete that set and add some new seekers to the lineup.

According to Wikipedia, "slag" is a british swear word. I will not go into detail on that, but simply put, the chance of seeing "Slag" on an impressionable kid's toy is N-I-L.

Speaking of which, wanna bet the original Snarl will be called "Striker"? ;)

Of course, why not change two names, when you only need to change one!!! Makes perfect sense! 8-} As I said, I think HASBRO is just going to phase out the whole stegosaur dinobot.

I think we said that about every Vector Prime product picture that HASBRO/Takara put out.

I didn't double post, I answered to two thoughts on separate occasions.

Is there a problem with that? :D
