Blurred, Sound wave, Twinferno and Cyclonus! Blurr looks like a prid Wheeljack retool. Legion Cyclonus, retool of Starscream but new soundwave!
Soundwave will probably be bought. He doesn't look too bad
Bludgeon looks okay but he'd be better as onslaught
Some of those look really cool. Bludgeon/Blastwave as Onslaught would be sweet too.
Like the Blurr's (well apart from the face) and Laserbeak.
Bludgeon looks cool! If I see it in store a will probably end up picking one up.

It'd look good armada hoist too (dammit, I'm supposed to be clearing my cache of customs!)Quote:

I might consider getting the deluxe-equivalent if it does indeed actually turn out to be a remold of PRiD Wheeljack.
Also its the Rescue Bot version :DQuote:

Few toy lines have thrived as long as the Transformers have, but those of us who grew up in the ‘80s probably barely recognize the Autobots and Decepticons you’ll now find in toy stores.
(Well except for Stripes and maybe G2 Optimus Prime)
As well as the overall Classicsverse/CHUGUR line which is now in its 10th year. This author... :rolleyes:Quote:

First time I'm actually interested in one of these newer series lines. What are the symbols on the figures like? I absolutely hate that stupid ring around them, would I be better off covering it over or would peel of or something? They sorta look like they're just stickers. Might get Blurr. Might get a seeker too if I can decide on a suitable head replacement.

The author has pretty much written a gift buying guide with Christmas being around the corner :rolleyes:Quote:

Still, some of these look pretty neat
Soundwave is... Odd. So beefy. And that blank prime face... Big change. But still looks pretty neat
I'll probably end up getting most if not all the Warriors and legions
And maybe the activator Soundwave
I hope there is plenty more to come from RiD
The faction symbols are on stickers that work with the smartphone gameQuote:

Unfortunately there is a moulded indent on each figure for the sticker
So if you peel them off you'll just have a large moulded circular indent in their body where it was
I've gotten used to the stickers personally
But if they bother you but you want to get one
Your best bet may be sculpting/ painting over it or something
It's because it's what most fans want, although I agree with your preference for seeing more new/original characters.Quote:

...but I'm not personally a fan of RiD's thing where all the good guys have humanoid robot modes and the baddies all have bestial robot modes. (-_-)
I agree with you there. It's kind of weird and frustrating that it was only the cons who were animal-like. So it's kind of nice to see Twinferno here being an autobot with Dragon head hands.Quote:

Ideally it Would be nice to see a larger mix of body types on both sides
Humanoid: Starscream, fracture, bumblebee, Strongarm, etc
Humanoid beast: thunderhoof, Steeljaw, Twinferno(kinda) etc
Animal robot: Springload, underbite, etc
Beast mode: grimlock, filch, etc
And we never saw filch's humanoid robot mode, save for a silhouette...
I don't think Warrior Blurr is a wheeljack retool, looks similar at a glance but quite different when you look closer
RiD Blurr (both Warrior and Legion) remind me of Hot Rod/Rodimus. Potential re-deco?
