SDCC 2013 Coverage: Preview Night Transformers Construct-Bots Gallery

What's w/ the purple Autobot logo on Breakdown?
Also, why weren't Bulkhead and Unicron Megatron included?

I'm usually very positive about new TF's, but I've found an exception here. Geebus, these bots blow.

Yeah! They do blow....YOUR MIND!

On the other hand, I'm GLAD I'm not interested in these, as I can't really afford to buy these on top of my regular TF purchases.

Poor execution? Where?

but they indeed improved some aspects on the construct-bots with these beats hunters
for example the car panels. the new tail fins
the vehicle modes look now much more cohesive and still transform, that is what i was expecting from this line but not that soon, so now im even more excited about it now
love the predacons, but still not so sure about the voyager scale all of these figures have, but i understand deluxe sized would have been a little bit more difficult
anyway, kudos to hasbro

Looks like the transformation on most all of these is generally accomplished the same way. It makes sense, but still worries me that the concept will get old quickly :/

Since they all share the same base skeleton, they transform almost the exact same way, the only difference being that the parts provide different looks.

In a line composed of recycling parts and making new ones for new characters, like Bionicle, how long until we get a Beast Hunters Insecticon? This line could deliver an Insecticon I think, without costing hasbro too much to make.

I'd love to see an Insecticon come down the pipe. I would like to create my fanfic characters using these, and with one of them being a disfigured clone of Shrapnel, an Insecticon would do wonders for that! Also to note, with his Deluxe toy lacking especially, Skystalker is a major improvement. I love his swords, especially!

Now THAT is a version of Skystalker I can get behind. It would be my first Predacon purchase, and a good one at that. Much better than the deluxe, from what I can see.

It's weird that of all the new stuff we've seen I'm the most interested in these.
