Teleportation Abyss. Yeesh that's cool
TR Perceptor is so much better than RTS it's not even funny. Seeing TR Krok next to his Timelines self is... it feels very good, just seeing how much bigger Deluxes have gotten since Thrilling 30. Talking of height, it's surprising just how much bigger Topspin is than Perceptor, that's about a head, isn't it?
Gotta say, didn't think Hardhead to Quake would work at first... but the more I look at it, the better it keeps getting in my eye.
And I'm loving the translation of stickers to molded detail on Topspin, especially those vents on his knees. Just beautiful; everything about this guy so far seems like a perfect, streamlined update to the original. Due to my MTMTE-only stipulation for now I'm only going to get Perceptor and Krok, but Topspin's making that rule very very hard to follow.

Someone at Hasbro really has a sense of humor. Blunderbuss's power is mass-shifting, something Broadside really needs between his two alt modes.

Perceptor looks a bit scrawny for my liking, but it's still probably a better figure than the RTS version, which looked fine in either mode but was crummy in between.

I have to say, I really do like this Perceptor better than the previous Generations one. That was always one of the weaker molds. It didn't even come with a gun.
I imagine a Magnificus recolor will show up, but I would love a Reflector recolor. He needs to get a proper retail figure.

This whole entire wave is incredible. Even Kup is looking better than he did initially. I personally think this new Krok looks much better than the club one seeing them side by side. The club one has a tiny head and is too bulky for a character like Krok. Topspin is still my favorite but Krok is a close second.

That transparent lime green tongue is wonderfully disgusting.

Quake, Topspin and Perceptor for me please. ESPECIALLY Topsin. His head sculpt is near perfect and my only gripe about that is i'd like his visor to be a tad bit larger like the massive visor he had back in the day.
He was one of my fave figures i had as a child. I must own this figure

And of course, the stock photos are just retouched from Hardhead's and Skullsmasher's:
btw Look closely at the amount of steps between the two releases

Yeah things are looking good. And Last Stand of the Wreckers is kinda like a prerequisite for MTMTE, I consider them in a similar vein, so I think that would make Topspin ok right?
AGREED! I love how theya re bringing the clear plastic back in TR.
My favourites would be Topspin, then perceptor then krok, but i like em all, and and I think I will get all 5 of em (and blackshadow and braodside, brawn, shuffler and repugnus).

Hardhead: 12 Steps
Quake: 10 Steps
Skullsmasher: 11 Steps
Krok: 12 Steps
Brainstorm's been messing with us.

Wow, TR Perseptor is leaps and bounds better than RTS. And I like RTS Perceptor. Krok looks surprisingly well done, and now I have a desire to part ways with my Skullsmasher. Topspin looks like this wave's Triggerhappy in terms of how well its done and that's about all the praise this wave of deluxes gets from me. As I thought I can happily skip Kup and Quake. So the Wave 4 must-haves total 5, Perceptor, Krok, Topspin, Brawn, and Black Shadow(might be bumped down if Overlord doesn't have that much retooling).

Love these pics! The ones I need...
Perceptor - killin' it with SCIENCE!
Kup - now with articulation!
Topspin - MUST HAVE
Quake - DAT FACE, transtector!
Brawn - Perfection.
The rest are left to impulse....! Well, besides Repugnus & Shuffler. I will also wait for Overlord over the space gangsta.

I agree.
I'm this close to caving in. I just love the way this Krok figure turned out.

Quake looks nice, but I personally think the mold works worlds better on Hardhead, who is atm the most awesome TF figure I've ever bought (pending purchases of Wolfwire, Triggerhappy, or Topspin). But Chasm's power... my Lord, I now need that toy, if solely for the awesome ability.

I dunno man that dual finned front - total Misfire I think, would'nt even need a retool, but a retool into a Slugslinger dual cockpit would be rad right? Plus Misfire's over in MTMTE sometimes helping Clobber get his memory back. I honestly think I'd love both.

Triggerhappy is obviously Misfire. I think Slugslinger is a more likely retool out of Topspin, personally.

Don't worry, although I'll have to find my Titan Master Brawn. Does anybody else think that shield is part of a pre-tool and we'll get a repaint down the line without the shield?

I also wonder if that arm shield has any other uses at all. I just want to see him holding his own TR rifle mode.

Yeah I think Topspin and maybe Kup will be the only ones I get from this lot. The others aren't doing much for me. I can pass on Quake cos I found the Hardhead mold extremely disappointing with an awful looking alt-mode and boring transformation barely any different to the G1 figure. Perceptor looks dumbed down, ironically for a science guy.

I was quite impressed by how much the robot mode actually resembles the original. Though I do wish they'd planned ahead and perhaps put some new pieces in the top deck area - I get the impression that one or two additional new pieces to swap out could make him look very distinct indeed.
Heck I'd buy him simply to give Hardhead two guns and for the titanmaster if I'm honest.
I notice the part under the shield resembled the back end of Bulkhead - but if they have a thing for Throttlebots now perhaps the use they might put it too is Rollbar - even if the obvious redeco is Outback/Fallback. Perhaps they might ditch the shield and replace it with a gun for such a release ?
The only issue there is that if the do make Fallback/Outback - I'd really want the complementary Titanmaster set too.
