Whoa both look great. Hot Shot has me very excited. Love the futuristic feel of it.
Ratchet looks much better than I initially thought too.

Hmm me likey Hots shot more and more. I hope that Jolt can still powerlink with him! Judging by the spoiler it looks like a goer!:D
Amazing how much better than the original it looks. What a difference a lack of crappo gimmicks makes!
Hopefully the final pictures look as good as those PS pictures do. I must say that I like the look of him a lot..
I'm curious to what will get Chromed on Hot Shot for Henkei
I'm guessing the Lights and engine block.
Lovin Hot Shot.:)
agreed little buddy, i wasn't going to get hot shot because of his crapness in armada, but the more i look at him the more i think that i will get himQuote:

I'm guessing the yellow on Jolt, the detailing on the shins and the black on the shoulders and chest of Hot Shot
And I think Ratchet will lose the red on his shoulders
Yeah Hotshot looks great! But I can't help but feel that those pics have been "photoshopped" to enhance the colours.
Yeah, but the Armada/Energon lines were pretty ordinary for its time considering that they came straight after Car Robot/RiD. We went from a line that inspired Binaltech/Alternators (Takara have stated this) to what we got in Armada/Energon. In that context Armada/Energon was pretty 'meh.' I was extremely happy when Armada came out but that was because it broke that gawd-damn TF toy drought of 2002!Quote:

Remember that repaints in this line seem to be pulled off far better than the original releases?
Look at SideSwipe andBlueSilverstreak! :D
I reckon the initial investment's already been paid off with the original release of the toy, so there's more room in the budget for more paint-apps - just a theory though :D
Kind of true, but I think they would rather save the money.Quote:

Man it looks horrible in those photos. Especially the windows.Quote:

Ill probably get Ratchet coz Im a sucker that way, but i really dont like the ironhide/ratchet mold. The sides just look AWEFU: in vehicle mode.
Hot shot looks awesome. I was a big fan of the Armada version (Still have him somewhere) so this looks like an amazing upgrade!
