Just another lame gimmick that looks like crap. These things are more annoying than Kreons.
Just release the IDW Generations figures already!
Least half the wave one look decent.

SKYQUAKE?!?!?! 
I think the bigger news is how the heck the photographer found a SKYQUAKE!
I'm a bit on the fence on these Bionicle TFs.
To be fair, though, I wasn't a fan of the Kreon's either!

dear god $25, i was on the fence on a few of these guys but that price just pushed me over to the pass side. For $25 you can get a kick ass lego set

Yeah... that's AWFULLY expensive for what I'm assuming is the equivalent of a mid-size Hero Factory set. $15-18 would be reasonable, but $25 is WAY too much. Look forward to seeing these on deep discount though.

The Skyquake wave has been showing up at TRU however he is one per case and goes extremely fast. I Found one last week at my local TRU.

Wow, they're popping up already? I'm not too keen on them, but I'd like to see them in-person to see what they're like.

From what I've seen before, I might be willing to pay about $10 for these. $25 is plain nuts. I see another year of well-stocked TJX stores ahead.

I can live with that.
Especially if the parts are good and versatile~
Oh hey, Vange1us, you just made me happy with your showfloor demo!

After going Lego, Transformers go full Bionicle?
I will be okay with that once they hit the innevitable clearance sales at Winners.

I was lucky enough to pick up 2 Triple Changer Construct-Bots Bumblebees and one Blitzwing at the TRU in Lombard. As a added bonus, picked up Skyquake and Masterpiece Thundercracker.

Saw both of these guys yesterday.
Blitzwing looked cool, especially as a triple changer, but I am hesitant due to the price point.

Just to be clear I own them they can only be in one mode at a time. Either tank or jet parts on the figure so if you have to swap off parts it's a parts changer. And the video you are talking about showed wheel jack not a triple changer.

It's cool and both blitz and bee transformation was the same way and so was wheeljacks. All the figures have wheels or wings even soundwave. I still think they are cool and the guy said it was to get younger kids that can't transform the figures we love into the brand. So that right there is a cool thing because it will help TFs get into younger generations so that we always have fans growing up and loving the brand.
