I like Starscream. I think he is really well done and surprisingly character model accurate to WFC/FOC/IDW.
I just hope that Hasbro adheres to the colors of the promo pics but I doubt it. Hopefully Takara-Tomy will show us their own version colors before the Hasbro releases become available so that they can allow fans to choose which one they prefer.
Sideswipe seems to just get bigger and bigger non-integrated weapons with his new toys...
Liking most of these toys, sad that there will be none on shelves at the same time as the game release (if all dates are to be believed). Good that there is a few months between each wave, gives us time to save up.
However it might be harder to get them all, as the only tf competition that it will have is the inferior Prime line.
I am liking everything I see ASIDE from the trend away from even the 1st wave of FOC characters towards these big weapons that 'store' on the alt mode. That has ruined an otherwise great toy.
Just to be different that Ultra Magnus repaint doesn't really impress me that much, although it is far better than what I would expect from Hasbro.
Starscream and Sideswipe on the other hand look great, Unlike FOC Jazz, Sideswipe actually has a head sculpt superior to his classicverse counterpart IMO.
Fireflight even looks decent in those doctored Hasbro shots, though not much like Fireflight.
Ultra Magnus is great, that mold looks so much better as him than it does as Optimus. Wish he came with a Hammer instead of a sword though.
Fireflight is quite a surprise. He looks awesome!
Not feeling the love with Ultra Midriff. This new textured finish on the plastic is bizarre, the design is quite amateur and basic by modern standards and it's generally horribly disproportionate and blocky. What am I not seeing that you guys like so much? If only they'd re-release Classics UM...
Shockwave is so far ahead of the pack it's ridiculous, he looks incredible. :cool:
Meh. I'm a magnus fanboi. What can I say?Quote:

Well these Game-'Aligned' continuity figures certainly do look absolutely awesome! :eek::cool:
- Starscream: Looks excellent; executed superbly and I look forward to both the Skywarp & Thundercracker repaints. :cool:
- Insecticon (Kickback): Looks rather cool indeed; a triple changer that unfortunately wasn't able to achieve it's Insect Alt mode in Botcon's display case. :p
- Ultra-Magnus: This mold is far better suited to this character and whilst I don't agree with the eye colour, I'm glad that I now have a reason to pick up this mold. :eek::cool:
- Sideswipe: A greatly retooled version of the relevant Jazz mold; he looks very good but also suffers from this stupid 'Make the Weapons the Gimmick' gone bad that TF lines have been suffering of late. :o
- Fireflight: Is an interesting repaint/retool that I didn't see coming; the colours are nice as with his head-sculpt, which is one repaint away itself from being a Decepticon again. ;):)
That said, I'll be looking forward to a certain Voyager and a pair of Legion class Twin-packs most of all though. ;):D
i bet :PQuote:
