MP Starscream re-release confirmed - yay!
New cartoon - yay!
-
No Technobot limbs?
No Predacons or Terrorcons?
No DJD? Kind of expected, but still a shame.
Victorion's colour scheme is...well, terrible. Red makes for a good base colour, but doesn't really work with turquoise. Nice weapon and new hands though.
No news on that long-rumoured Legends Sharkticon and Kickback I take it?

Victorian sounded so good, a fem-bot combiner....
and Hasbro ruined itHer colours are SOOOOOO bad. Hopefully they are only pre-production models and the actual ones will look better.
G2 Superion however, looks good. I will get Scattor/Scattershot, although I don't know who he will combine with though.
Yay another MP release for people like me who only just got into the hobby.
Also...
No Predaking.
EDIT: Victorian does look a bit better combined then as individual bots. I like the hands and sword and the feet.

Actually not quite Hasbro's fault. The fans voted on colour scheme.Originally Posted by UltimateGalvatron

but yes , it is eye bleedingly vibrant.
Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.

tbh i'm actually a little bit disappointed that she's an Autobot. We have too much Autobots and not enough Decepticons (which is why I'm not much of a fan of both AOE and Robots in Disguise's toylines because they don't have enough decepticons)
I'll update this when I'm needing help finding particular figures

Oh.
It still looks bad.

To be fair, the fans weren't exactly given great options there.
Blue, Cyan, Tan? Uhhh...no thanks.
Orange, Grey, Blue? Pass.
Red, Cyan, White? *sigh* Sure, whatever, the red sounds fine.
Thanks for Windblade @Hasbro, she's pretty great. Victorion...not so much.

I don't really care about the G2 stuff, Victorion has an interesting new head mold, incredible combining sword and I like the fact that the combined form is uniformly coloured, it's unfortunate that the colours look like a tray of toffee apples exploded. i'm also a bit surprised that the remolded chopper arms weren't used for the protectobots so their helicopter guy wasn't sporting missile racks.
I haven't seen anything in these reveals that I'm keen on. Scattershot is a massive disappointment.

Love the G2 giftsets, while not needed in my collection its fantastic that Hasbro would go and do them. Hopefully in 2016 we see another G2 Bruticus giftset.
The Fan Combiner - love the sword, love the hands and feet but the rest is an easy pass. Not a fan of the colour schemes at all.
Scattorshot is such a disappointment - didn't Hasbro just say at Botcon that they would be doing teams now, so why are they making Scattorshot part of a new combiner and not doing anything with the torso mode to make it look different to Superion.
News on no Beasts is also very frustrating, and I really hope that it's just part of a late 2016 plan they don't want to talk about. Predaking and Abominus need to be made

I think orange grey and blue would work a lot better as long as either orange or blue were used sparingly as spot colour and the break up colour was grey.
Red Cyan and white might have worked to if Hasbro had limited either red or Cyan and broken it up with some white. As it stand Victorion is all Red and Cyan clash with no white at all to break it up. I guess maybe they wanted to ape that old red and blue collector club combiner, who also looked terrible.
