    Hound looks great. Cheetor is clearly mistransformed. And I like the new Brawn and Beachcomber a lot.

    But Aughh!! Robot Heroes Slag is called Snarl!? I can accept it for Animated but not for G1.

    Pretty good, Cyclonus is my favourte by far. hound looks good to, except i'm not sure if it's the photo or what, but his eyes look like they are to far apart. It makes him look kinda dimwitted.

    Still not sure about Inferno and Cheetor.

    Mmmm. Nice. Interesting decision to have Ravage packed in with Hound. I like them all. Especially the Animated figures.

    Impressive but my oppinion has not changed since we first saw them in the Hasbro Presentation slides with the exception of Cyclonus which I now see as Excellent and Cheetor looks worse.

    Universe Hound with Ravage - Very good
    Cyclonus - Excellent
    Minibots - Brawn and Beach Comber are good but Bumblebee sucks.
    Inferno - Good.
    Cheetor - Looks way too Beast Machines rather than Beast Wars. Its very bad. His 12 year old toy is much more superior than this.

    New stuff:

    Looks like they are making a Premium Classics Starscream which is better than original but it looks inferior to Henkei.

    I love the Vector Prime redeco, I wonder if they are making him into the Last Autobot?

    There are oddities in Robot Heroes:

    - Why is he called Snarl instead of his propper name Slag? That sucks as that is not a copyrighted name!!!!

    - Hardshell? WTF?

    Copyright is for ideas and concepts. Trademarks are for names.

    The likely scenario is they cannot trademark Bombshell, probably due to somebody else holding the trademark (or something very similar) in the same category. A few years ago Hasbro had a female GI Joe figure they were going to name Bombshell. But due to them not being able to secure the trademark for that, they went with Bombstrike.

    If somebody has secured a trademark, you can't just stick 'Autobot' or 'Decepticon' in front of the name for your own purposes, if you're wondering.


    The Slag thing is due to sensitivities in the UK, 'slag' being a slang/swear word over there and all.

    This looks like a good time to be a TF collector. Wow.

    Mainly looking forward to Hound, Cyclonus and Inferno, but I also like the Vector Prime and Scourge redecos. Animated all look good.

    Seriously though, Inferno? I'm on cloud 9 about this. I love inferno.

    I think they all look awesome, but you can be sure these are the same kind of exaggerated, touched up, unfortunately false, back-of-the-package pics we've seen on Universe and Classics, which cheapens the whole thing for me.
