In-Hand Images of Stomp and Chomp Grimlock

When the eventually Stomp & Chomp Grimlock gallery goes up, I wonder if we'll get to see height comparison pics of the toy with Fort Max and Generations Metroplex.

Not even Galvatron is called a Decepticon in the movie.

If they must be called anything, best term to refer to them in general (meaning both before and after the climax of the film) would be "the Prototypes".

What can I say, I kind of wanted one after watching the movie but neither looks like they're worth it.

People were overwhelming underwhelmed by the First Edition figure.

But, I can say the Leader Class OP is worth it. He's really nice and I'm happy with him.

By way of Toys 'R' Us Japan, we have some nice high rez promo images of Takara Lost Age LA10 Scorn and LA11 Strafe. These are the Takara release of the Hasbro Power Attackers Scorn and Strafe. The images have been mirrored for your convenience.

LA10 Scorn









LA11 Strafe

Since we're discussing the figure here's Power Battler Scorn




And for fun here's one stepish Bumblebee, I guess this is the new Camerro mold.

Hasbro Scorn hands down. Strafe is up in the air, based on personal preference.

I didn't mean there weren't differences, just not enough to make me sell everything and give Takara my money.

Oh by the way, Strafe is up in the air, good one!

I didn't even realize I did that. Huzzah!

Scorn looks pretty cool in silver, if that was the hasbro version id be tempted to get one. Strafe still looks terrible, i saw the hasbro one at walmart today & its worse in person. Even with a good paint job a bad mold is still a bad mold.

All mix it's not a good idea, because they don't do very detailed and complex toys, and in the same time, not so simple as might be.
It turns out that does not do very well in either sides.

They already did, with the gimmicky "Robots in Disguise" toys and the more complex "Generations Series M4" for the older kids (8+ instead of the usual 5+) and collectors. The Generations toys are of the "traditional" style, including the Deluxe, Voyager and Leader Classes.

They need to separate the complex and better ones for adults, and make the same characters, in same class size, but in less complex versions to children.
Yes, is a dream. hahahaha
But in my opinion is the better way to satisfying all the fans.

I don't know if is my mind only, but in general the toys fell in complexity, even those targeted to adults or older kids.

What Decepticons are you talking about?

And, no, we DON'T deserve anything from Hasbro. We are not their target audience. The fact that they're even bothering to think about us older fans at all is a generous mercy unto itself.

We are not that "market share" for them???

I for one want leader class lockdown, Galvatron and Junkheap. Junkheap should be leader so he can split into three deluxe sized drones. Lockdown should have a Deluxe sized vehicle mode and a leader sized robot mode, and have all his weapons and mask. Maybe we will get the Vehicons in later waves, of in the interim years.

I can't visualize a Leader Galvatron. How can a robot like him (I don't see any vehicle part in his body!!) transform into a Freightliner Argosy without a HUGE backpack?
