Transformers Beast Hunters Construct-Bots Official Images and New Arsenal Packs Reissues

so let me get this straight. Hasbro's response to the poor sales of Construct bots, is to repack the figures that are still shelfwarming after christmas with new weapons?

damnit why couldnt wolfang be with megatron or soundwave or even just on his own, id pick one up if he was by him self.

There's that sorry excuse for a Prime Unicron Megatron again.

Beast Hunters ruined the Prime toyline

Starscream's the only one that looks even halfway close to being a guy that plays for Arsenal.

Well, the beauty of Construct Bots is that if you end up double-dipping, you can just keep swapping parts around until you find something you do like. The only reason I ever started with them was for G2 Cybertronian army-building, but when I got Soundwave, he ended up being so awesome I couldn't repurpose his bits onto anyone else, because he was such a nice blend of elements from so many past 'cons: On top of his G1 and Cybertron self, there are distinct parts of his smaller Animated incarnation that never got a toy. And mixed in with wings and shoulders from Energon Megatron/Thunderwing are shades of Triggerhappy! An homage to my favorite 'con Targetmaster with extra weapons? Can't complain about that.

I intended to buy more Starscreams from the start, but the new one has too much red for my purposes, and the weapons the old one's getting look...silly. I'm actually disappointed that they went out of their way to make CB Thundercracker a repaint of everyone except Staracream, because I'd like to see him in every color until they get to Acid Storm...which they'd likely save for last because of his Masterpiece toy.

Oh well, I need more green genocidal ground forces than jets anyway, so if anyone really wants to get rid of their Bulkhead once they've got his anipals, I'll gladly take him off your hands!

Of course, I've only ever bought Construct-Bots on sale. They're nice, but not quite full-price nice.

Oh yeah, that is strange.

A little blue on Wheeljack at least makes sense, but a red helmet on Soundwave? Any precedent for that besides the Return to Cybertron sticker book, where some of his body parts were randomly Optimus-ish?

Shockwave and Skystalker images are up now folks

In package shots are too big to upload, sorry about that


EDIT: I realise this is old news

The entire production run of Starscreams' heads seems to have ended up like that, so you didn't sharpie a rare variant or anything; these guys were made for customizin' anyway. I'll be getting his arsenal rerelease in part to see if they fixed that paint app.

The wing-forearm thing bugged me too, but even with parts-forming, I could never find a good way to get them on his back. Maybe a little cheating by using the vulcan guns as connectors?

I used the extra connector pieces that came in the Optimus & Megatron 2 pack. I connected his wings to one end and connected the other side to his shoulders. It looks good in both modes and there's no parts-forming.
