Overload's placement of the "feature" is less intrusive than on Crazy Bolt.
I like that overload resembles Centurion from the Marvel UK Comics too.

You know, I just love animals that can turn into cars. I'm loving the fact that Crazybolt is a beast-type Con that turns into a modified 1968 Corvette Stingray. The question remains is that to what animal is Bolty really based on?

Based on his shape and a semi-official leaked storyboard, I'd guess he's some kind of spitting lizard/toad that breathes fire and spits minicons.

Did Hasbro hire a former employee of Spin Master. Cause these toys couldn't be any closer to Bakugan. Seriously.

You can definitely see the resemblance. Maybe someone at hasbro was inspired to do the cyclones similar to bakugan

Well, okay. Since you stated that Crazybolt is some kind of a lizard, then what kind of lizard to be exact? From what we already knew, Crazybolt first made his debut in Beast Wars Neo where he was a frilled dragon that turned into a human and he only spoke Japanese. But this version of Crazybolt, as we speak, will be English-speaking for sure. Judging by the storyboard, is it likely that he will eventually escape from the Autobots and join Steeljaw's team, or be captured like all the rest, no matter how powerful they are? I'm starting to get little tired of this cops-and-robbers storyline for this series. It's time for Hasbro to turn this series into a full-fledged war series during Season 2, since the majority of Transformers is war-themed. Don't get me wrong, though. I still love this series. It's just that I question the storyline for this series, that's all.
Since this is a sequel to Transformers: Prime, do you still remember Airachnid? Airachnid is a humanoid spider that can turn into a helicopter. Does that really mean that all animal-based Transformers that can turn into vehicles, including Crazybolt, are descended from her?

There really isn't a reason for this to be a war series and it really isn't meant to be that way either. I like it how it is, though a little more carry-over would be nice. The war is over; this is just a band of fugitives being rounded back up and attempting to organize anyway.
And Airachnid was last seen as a part-zombie on the moon of cybertron, so who knows what happened since then. and the cons were probably born from the well of all-sparks when Optimus returned the allspark, so they are probably all new from the well and just designed that way, not descended from anyone as there really isn't a way for them to be descended from anyone

GTFO! You wont believe this but I read Carry's quote first and was going to write "oh no, Hotshot overthre that title in 2025 and it hasnt stopped since". And then I scroll below and see your comment.

Once more via our fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999 we take a look at some of the latest toy releases, this time from the Robots in Disguise One-Step Changer sub-line - check out below a double feature review, focusing on Springload and Quillfire, including some added thoughts.
One-Step changers are here to stay, I know many of you don't want to hear that but it's true. Fortunately Hasbro keeps finding different and fun ways for vehicles to turn into robots, or robotic animals as is the case with Springload and Quillfire. I'm a little disappointed that Hasbro didn't use a push button, spring transformation on Springload; that was a missed opportunity. With that said both make for fun desk toys and are perfect for the younger fans in your life.

Quillfire is pretty cool, though I'm waiting for the warrior. This Springload however, is really cool and very unique and it shall be mine!

I'm now glad that Springload finally does get a toy. So far he is only available as a One-Step figure. In vehicle mode, he is supposed to be a pickup truck that resembles a 1960s Ford Bronco, but somehow Hasbro remolded his vehicle mode into some type of a muscle car. Is his vehicle mode is actually a pickup truck that resembles a muscle car? Or only for this version? I believe that if they have a Warrior-version of him, perhaps they will make him have a pickup truck vehicle mode that looks just like the one in the cartoon. What are your thoughts on that?
