Some surprises and some not so surprises.

Great minds/TFW lurkers think alike hey? :D
On with the commentary...
Blaze Master is supposedly a repaint of the Deluxe Springer toy, which hasn't been seen yet. Off-screen characters = Awesome. This figure in greens and grey I think will look good
Jolt looks good; better if he was transformed properly. :rolleyes: His character and toy to me seem like a second-class Sideswipe.
The Twins... are certainly pink. :D
Dead End and Sideswipe. Both inevitable repaints/remolds. I wonder if SS has a new noggin too.
Arcee is as expected. Looks like she'll form the legs of the combined mode. Chromia most likely the left arm and shoulder.
Why can't stores here break the street date. :(
Ah swerve, swipe as he should have been
Wow these guys certainly are a new find! I can hear the money flying from my wallet now...
The Icecream twins look pretty decent there.
Hahahahaha Arcee looks rubbish, seriously wtf is that?
Ice cream twins look interesting
I like the ice cream truck. Although I'll pass final judgement once I see the figures.
So Skids and Mudflap start off as an icecream truck then decide that they want to be seperate cars or something huh?
I'm relieved Arcee looks like that...means I don't have to buy her lol:D
If I can replace the horrible heads of the twins I might have to get them in Ice Cream Truck mode, they would fit in well with the pink of the Turbomasters...
That is if the final product looks somewhat close to these photoshopped and hand painted figures.
IMO the offscreen bots are killing the onscreen ones in terms of looks and personal interest.
Retrospectively that's what I think of the last movie line. Sure 08 Bumblebee and Barricade were cool, not to mention several others. But looking back its a lot of the extras who still captivate my interest, I think the extra freedom the designers were given let them make more clever toys that still fit in with the movie style.
So far most of the TFs posted above look pretty cool, but like the rest of us I'm skeptical of what the real things look like.
More Pics (including the opposite modes of everything above.)
Sold on the Twins, waiting to see how the combined Arcee form looks.
Re: Blaze Master... Evac is that you? Can't be Springer's mold after all. Interesting.
Is Ravage's alt mode supposed to a protoform meteor? I could understand that. Maybe Soundwave in satelitte mode dispatches Ravage down to earth from space?
Hmm, pretty big difference from the Legends version. Design change or liberties? In any case, looking at the helicopter mode and then the robot mode... I really like the transformation. :D
Actually, I misread Blaze Master's bio here and thought I was reading about Springer (probably because they used the phrase "autobot defender" :D)
