Meh, i'll stick with the Hasbro Rhinox and Waspinator
Wow! :eek:
That Waspinator looks WAY off, not a fan of those hues or finishes at all - Rhinox looks much more palatable, but the only real pro above his Western iteration is that his "Chainguns of Doom" are painted...
Didn't think this'd be the case, but I think I too will be sticking with the Hasbro releases - They at least seem far more "Toy Accurate" in colour. :o
Hmm... Ill wait to see how the actual paint apps on the Hasbro version turn out, as the existing pics look like photoshop.
Looking at these figs, can Has/Tak please do a proper Dinobot!
Oh dear...
Oh, come ON TakTom! All you have to do to make these guys shine (pun not intended) is go metallic for the ROBOT mode parts, and leave the ORGANIC parts non-shiny. Like in the show.
Don't pull a Springer again, please...
Waspinator has the same kind of "so close, yet so far" colour scheme that Henkei Dinobot has. Rhinox is alright I guess.
Well, having digested the pics some more, I wish I could say I knew which versions I'd be pre-ordering - but I can't.
I think I'll have to wait for some comparison pics before deciding which Rhinox and Waspinator will adorn my shelf.

I like the colours but is it just me or does the plastic look really cheap and nasty?
It's definitely not just you man :(
Skids looks particularly unappealing with all that bland baby blue, and Waspinator isn't really doing anything for me either. A little detail around the chest area would really have set him off.
I'll probably go TT's version for the two of them :)
At least less cheaper/nastier than Generations FOC deluxes?
Will definitely need to see what TT will do with correcting Skid to a nice navy blue (even if it's the same shade as Tracks). Goldbug looks much better than the first Bumblebee release, but not loving Dreadwing's All-Spark blue parts.
Amazon is the source of the new images, and the rest of the pics and their bios can be seen here...
Skids
Goldfire
Waspinator
Dreadwing
I don't mind this lots colours, but I agree the plastic will be nasty, Hasbro's always looking to save a buck.
I'm still not sold on the last batch of TT versions shown either.
Oh dear, oh dear...
Well, I think I'm left with little choice than to buy the Hasbro and Takara versions of Waspy and Rhinox. The Hasbro versions to play with, and the Takara versions to sit beside Henkei Cheetor and Dinobot just because they're chromed.
Just to clarify -- I'm not overly impressed with having to do this :(
All I can say is that I hope these look better in-person because these official shots aren't doing them any service. :o
We were all looking forward to these, but these pictures don't fill me with as much excitement as the announcement did. These had better be looking good in person.
Skids is the only one I am interested in and even though I would prefer a darker blue I will probably still buy it:o
Well, I've bit the bullet and pre-ordered all 4.
Whats wrong with Skids' baby blue? It's so strikingly... blue. It just pops so wonderfully.
Which version to pre-order - Takara or Hasbro for Waspinator/Rhinox?
probably takara rhinox.

just saw the picture here and the hasbro version chainguns are... brown like his skin colour... wtf.
Waspinator looks like hes wearing a mask. Was there black around his eyes in the TV show? Sort of like sly the racoon:p
the lack of colour on the chainguns of doom is rather depressing...
but the rest of the colour looks pretty good
