Oh thank HEAVENS they have some apparant degree of a waist swivel, this is my first time seeing them display that feature. Although non transforming figures aren't for me, I can at least respect what they offer at this price point if they feature articulation like that. Without it, they have nothing going for them in my eyes.

Soundwave's lower legs should be gray/white, not blue.

It will be a TRUE "yay" if they release the original characters from the G1 Action Master line in R.E.D.

Pre-ordered Megatron and Soundwave. The confirmation says they're supposed to arrive on August 6th.
I know it's early, but based on appearance alone, I'm looking forward to more of these!

Not even. At least all action masters came with some transforming element. They are part of the brand's legacy and added to it with new characters and a different playability. These are just action figures featuring Transformers characters.

They're aimed at collectors like Sowndwave76 who despite being Transformers fans don't give a toss about their toys transforming.

Why did you feel the need to single Sowndwave76 like that? Everyone is allowed to collect how they want, there is no set standard.

Pull your head in. Your attitude lately has been poor.

Because with 33-50% of the thread boiling down to "Who are these even made for?"/"Why are they even doing these" I wanted to point to a specific example of someone who is quite happy with figures like this.

You're right, they are.. and I worded that post very badly, it was not supposed to sound hostile. Ugh...

No argument from me there...

At least those are way better looking than the Hero Mashers.

I can’t wait! These are made for people like me who are into marvel legends and the new gi joe series. I love transformers too and have a bunch but my love is primarily with the g1. I rarely ever transform them into vehicles mode because robots kick more ass than cars.

That Transformers RED Series seems to be playing for keeps with Hasbro going all out on releases from various eras. We found a listing on Walmart.com for a Transformers Prime Knockout. Not only does it mean we are getting a Knockout action figure but it also confirms that the previous Arcee listing was indeed for Prime Arcee. Now while that can be exciting for some, it can also be infuriating to others that would have loved such a line of various fan favourite characters from across different generations, but that transformed. We will also be getting a redeco of Optimus Prime and the listing has it literally named "Redeco Optimus". A G1 Starscream listing was also found. Below are the three links to these toys:

This lune is getting more and more interesting.

Still hoping for a G1 Bludgeon and Thunderwing.

Oh, my bad... Wish they could figure out how to come up with something like a label that said, "Coming soon"...

Also, any guesses on the Prime redeco?
Nemesis?
"Death of..." (which would seem pointless to have posable dead Prime)?
Battle-damaged?

I'm not even the biggest fan of him, but this is where we could get a great version of Blitzwing.
And I know this might drive some people crazy, but I'd love a set of all of the Constructicons.
They are such classic characters.

Red optimus was going to my main prime but I think netflix wave 2 has won out. Knock out and arcee will likely be my buys from the line, I never picked up that many prime figures with animated not having the full run of figures/exclusives/japanese/first release headaches of trying to complete.just hoping for some scaling in the figures rather than them all being the same size.

Good scaling is a really valid point... Not to mention, why not, and then give us something like a two-pack of Rumble and Ravage. Or heck, make a two pack of Bumblebee and Cliffjumper priced at $30.
Wishful thinking with 2 packs, but if these are supposed to be really show accurate, then they can't make Bee as tall as Prime, Megatron, and Soundwave... Unfortunately, he could still cost $20. Which bothers me no matter how many extras he comes with.
