New Pics of DOTM Cyberverse Decepticon Hatchet

As cool as it looks I think I'll wait to see if they repaint it to look like Sky Lynx.

Nope.

It makes me feel old not to be on board with this new stuff, like I'm getting left behind or that I'm being closed minded.

Where is the line that separates those things? I really try to look objectively at new designs and toys, but I can't help but look at this and think (like many other upcoming toys) that Transformers has maybe gone a step too far out of the norm.

I know...I know...Transformers change with time and series. But don't forget that change has at times been rejected. Beast Machines is the strongest example of that. While it was a good show, the vast majority of fans did not like where it took the overall franchise. The course correction was RiD and Armada in place of Transtech. When the movies are through, will we see that again?

Looks pretty decent. I like it.

I dunno. I like to see new and interesting designs that don't always just stick to the overused humanoid form and try something different. The Movie stuff in particular certainly got me more interested in Transformers than I ever was even when I had all them G1 toys as a kid. Without the movie stuff I certainly can't imagine myself ever having bought Transformers as an adult as the relatively simplistic blocky designs of other TF lines just don't do it for me at all (oh and I hate, HATE human-like faces on TF's these days. Fine if it's a nostalgic upgrade of a G1 character but I find it too overdone and ridiculously stupid looking in some of the IDW comics and crud like Animated)

Freaking awesome. Reminds me of a version of Laserbeak I once drew when I was in middle school where he transformed into a fighter jet.

Now, make a white, blue and red space shuttle that turns into a dragon! Hatchet vs Skylinx.

I'm loving the cyberverse stuff.

I like it, and I like that scout class sorry, Commander class, is getting a lot of love these days.

I like that size, and it is a great size in which to play with odd designs like this.

I am mostly a Classics/etc. collector these days, and I can find ways to mingle a figure like this into my Classics stuff, or even toss it into the MP/Alt display.

ooohhh
maybe this is the dragon we saw in the trailer and laserbeak will be less ugly and smallr and go with soundwave and hatchet will weild a hatchet.

edit:just noticed it says cybervverse

Interesting. I kinda like him.

Except Ravage was stripped from his spine likes beads from a string.

Well, here's one to add to the DOTM pick-up list, along with the Wreckers and DeLorean 'Bee.

Yea, looks like a pretty cool concept. I don't know about him being ravage though, but it looks like a cool TF all on its own.
