More info to come?!?

Sometimes this account posts really good customs, but this doesn't look like a custom to me.

And I can't quite make out what toy Blades is...

Wow - very interesting indeed.


And I can't quite make out what toy Blades is...

Me neither - is it Legion Airachnid? Oh - it's Deluxe ROTF Evac/Tailwhip.

Blades is a redeco of ROTF evac I think I read

Looks like ROTF Evac/Blazemaster to me, which makes me really hope/believe this is fake

Yep I think so

Pretty uninspired redecos and scaling for the five of them, colour me uninterested

Surely it's too elaborate and weird to fake - why bother?

That is an interesting mix of Beast hunters and Classics toys. No idea who Blades is, too bad they cannot rejig the FoC Vortex mold. I hope it isn't Blazemaster (or whatever the TV chopper from the movie lines was called) as that was a terrible toy!

I'm liking the Guard City red Hot Spot. Groove on the other hand, if that is the final product, looks like he drew the short straw

Groove's vehicle mode is to scale! I kind of like that. And an Inferno coloured Grapple... I also like that.

The decos on First Aid and Streetsmart aren't great, but do seem realistic for something Hasbro would do compared to what a fan would do.

And if you can't use the name Streetwise, Streetsmart is a far better choice than Streetstar.

This WAS looking promising until I saw Blazemaster.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
The worst Transformer toy of all time! I burnt mine in the microwave a few years back and it was great.

Tailwhip was better. :D

I like how the ambulance is the one arriving on scene with knives out.

I thought Streetstar sounded cute though. :I Not very good for a cop I guess.

Probably to make up for Hot Spot taking all the red? These decos don't look particularly interesting though.

Protectobots? None seem to be in Gen1 colours.

They look like two 2-packs, with Legion sized Groove offsetting the Voyager in the other pack.

From the leaked Hasbro database....

I saw the title and thought "Wow yea I gotta see this!!!" and then became utterly disappointed when I did. I don't really like the Prime mold aesthetics. The colours don't look good either. Easy pass for me.

Which could also explain the big red fire Engine, but i still prefer thinking it was Guard Cityinspired :D ;)

Well that's kind of disappointing. I'll pass. The only one that looks remotely well-coloured for me is Streetwise.

I would like to get First Aid and Streetwise (smart) and display them with my TF Prime figures :D

I like the Red Hot Spot, but my GDO Hot Spot will do the job.

Blades is ok, the Blazemaster/Evac figure has an awesome vehicle mode but the bot mod is a let down.

Groove is just a poor effort :(
