There is a lot more to see at DaimChocReports (https://www.facebook.com/DaimChocReports)

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Aww, I was hoping LER-05 would be an homage to Slapper (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Slapper_%28Dinobots%29). :( An anklyosaur would have been pretty cool.

EDIT - oh wait, it's a fembot. That's...not what I was expecting.
EDIT #2 - 2 fembots. Even more unexpected.

Something about HardReturn that doesn't look entirely overpowering compared to the the previous releases. Hoping he ends up being heads and shoulders above the rest.

Crox's chest plate is not what I expected - and I don't really see a reason for designing it in that way aside from reusing the mould for Optimus's body in City of Steel (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Alligatorcon_(G1)) - which was originally a cool idea, however it shouldn't harm the mould's primary purpose and/or potential market, as it is this potential market that would probably translate to 75-90% of its sales (pure speculation based on previous mould reuses, such as the not-Deluxe Insecticons).

[SharkyMcShark]

I genuinely look forward to TFCon a lot more than Botcon (and SDCC as far as Transformers stuff) these days.

Had a fleeting interest in FP Volar but never got it, but I'm on board for that FP Grimlock bigtime, and the femme-raptor as well.

Faux-MP Jazz, Sunstreaker (Omnigonix Spinout, not Badcube's Sunsurge) Cyclonus (Andras?) are getting bought, and so is Perfect Effect Leonidas.

Disappointed not to see any more of the previously teased IDW Rodimus that's a part of Maketoys new IDW inspired line, because I feel like that will also be a swift purchase.

Ahem, am I the only one to notice how, buxom, Let-05 is? She puurdy
