Shockwave looks great

!

Dreadwing looks decent except for his head, which is too small and too elevated making him look quite goofy. Oh well, his beast mode is nice enough I suppose.

Oooh yea, I like Shockwave's design. G1-esque enough to buy it. :grin:

Shockwave is cool for what it is. Im glad the Prime fans finally got their Shockwave so we can start getting back to classics !

That's... Dreadwing? As in the Dreadwing that Megatron "killed" near Season 2's end?

What crap is this?! :BANG_HEAD:

Shockwave is just... :BOOM:

Definitely getting him and ditching that horrible armor of his.

Something about Ratchet is unsettling, if you ask me.

I suspect he's a non-show character and all they share is a name. I don't believe it is the same character.

I'm really only interested in Dreadwing. Shockwave maybe, but I need to see him without that garish armour on.

According to the original report, the Voyager is actually called Grimwing. Dreadwing is Deluxe Class... So he's still in the line... Wow, Hasbro stooped to a new low either way; reusing a name for a different character in the same overall line.

*offers her head*

Could that be Dreadwing as in the G1 Powermaster combo of Dreadwind and Darkwing? Makes a bit more sense especially since the beast mode looks like two molds stacked on top of each other like the G1 toy.

Shockwave looks amazing!

Grimwing looks pretty cool too! Sort of a griffin 'o doom or something.

I'm actually not really that impressed with this version of Ultra Magnus. The shoulders looks good but it looks to busy with the wings from the BH Optimus mold. I think I'll probably stick with the PRiD version...which I really like.

Ratchet...well...his colors look pretty terrible. Also, his chest details look strange and his face doesn't really look like Ratchet to me. I hope the good doctor doesn't get horribly mangled by a beast and this is what we get. I'll reserve judgment but I'm a little disappointed since he is my favorite 'Bot on the show so far. :-s

I appreciate Ratchet getting more paint on him, especially the ECG zigzag, but I really, really don't like the 'with spikes' aesthetic.
