    They did a nice job with the new Optimus toy, and the new BBee looks nice, but Starscream in robot mode looks terrible. Especially the big flat body and spindly legs sticking out the bottom.
    I think the new Starscream transforms back-to-front compared to the old toy.

    On the last toy, the cockpit slid up from the front of the plane to the back of the plane, which meant the front of the plane was the bottom of his torso. On this toy, it looks like the back of the plane is the bottom of his torso, with the cockpit just turning around. You can see his vertical stabilizers/rear tail fins folding in half and down to become his crotch plates.

    Whomever posed the legs in these box photos pushed his double-jointed knees down too far. Starscream's design has a more upright stance than that.

    NEW Bumblebee! OMG YES! Whats one more when you already have 12 from the first line?
    Can I just say I really like this new sculpt of Starscream and I believe people's reaction to the legs is pre-emptive this is one photo. Furthermore he has hands! But hopefully this time round we will see a leader class Starscream as well. I can see this line is going to hurt my pocket with so many awesome additions already!

    Very cool stuff. I don't think I can turn down that Ironhide either as that BFG looks great in robot mode.

    Bumblebee should be deluxe. It's in a movie scene box afterall.

    Ironhide looks like they just added a tray mount. Big deal.

    Screamer does look much different, I reckon the jet looks much better and it does look like he's got hands this time. I might look out for that one.

    But yea, with these improvements, I'd be happy to suggest everone wait until the 3rd movie to see how much better yet again these toys will get.

    Ironhide has more accurate cannons now. The old one just sorta looked like his movie cannons.
