    SkyLynx was a surprise, much like Metroplex was before it.
    Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.

    I dunno about a lot of the Autobot limb combiners. We already have better versions of nearly all of them from the CHUG line already, and I wont be combining them. However they are nice to have.

    SKy Lynx looks great! But again, I would have preferred they did at least a Leader-class sized version of him rather than a Voyager just to make use of the Combiner gimmick.

    Swindle and Brawl look great! Bit disappointed that Blast Off has been made a jet instead of a Space Shuttle - it was part of his appeal as the Cons already have a ton of jets. Guess it makes sense scale-wise though.

    Defs Excited for Sky Lynx
    I'll update this when I'm needing help finding particular figures

    Looking good!!

    Skylynx is really a surprise! Not sure how to think of the combined head though...

    All the limb deluxes have nice head sculpts. I'm likely to get them all

    The Rook retool looks really good as Swindle and Hound!

    Shame Blast off got turned to a jet. I thought it'd be a no brainer to retool the helicopter mould into a space shuttle. And what's with Vortex's colors? They don't look good on his own and don't blend in with the camo look of Bruticus'

    So glad these aren't due until 2016, otherwise I'd be even more broke this year !!

    Looking epic as!

    Yeah I'm a bit disappointed with both Blastoff and Vortex... doesn't look like a military chopper to me. Blastoff is ok I guess but that's 3 of each mould right? Anyway the rest of the combaticons look sweet! I was passing on red/white prime and cyclonus and just gonna have spare limbs displayed alone, but that skylynx has changed that, looks great and then I'd be able to combine if I want (though I think he does better alone, the option would be there).

    Man. Sky Lynx is great. Prowl and Sunstreaker are perfect, as is Smokescreen, definitely getting them. I didn't expect Hound to be from Swindle, he's looking pretty nice. I'll get him. Ironhide's almost won me over, and I think Mirage is starting to (look at that car).

    Bruticus looks great. For a redeco of Slingshot, Blast Off looks nice. Brawl's just great (wasn't expecting a new mould), Swindle's golden (badum tss) and Vortex is as expected. They did more retooling on Onslaught than I thought they would.

    It should be a good year. I still have to get Wave 3 (after I get Motormaster, Air Raid and Huffer to complete my Wave 2), but it should be nice.

    Trailcutter's pretty nice for those who want a more cartoon (and/or toy) accurate figure, the same for Wheeljack.

    I suppose somebody had to be *that* guy, but i'm really not impressed. Sure, there are some stand out figures like Sky Lynx and Brawl, but the rest are just lazy, half arsed attempts at padding a line out until the movie hits in 2017.

    SKY LYNX!!!!!!



    Wow. I'm sooooo happy for that. Can he separate into his bird/lynx modes? And the idea of him combining is an interesting one.

    My 3rd party Predaking is so screwed

    Any news on whether deluxe Groove is getting released in Western markets or even retooled?
    If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you
