New combiner from Maketoys- MYCM-04 aka not Defensor?

Not really feeling it but can't quite pinpoint why. Changing Streetwise's alt mode into a muscle car (while the rest still seem faithful) bothers me but it can't be just that.

I felt that too with Streetwise. Saw First Aid and was a lot happier.

Streetwise seems to look a lot like TFC's version and that really makes it less appealing. The foot mode also looks awkward.

If you're talking about the car hood flopping out I think its a G1 tribute thing. I actually wouldn't have minded if they turned it upside down, but once again the muscle car grille just wouldn't look right as the 'toes'.

I have to say though, the CG mockup of Groove as a leg looks sweet. I find Groove's bot and alt modes reminding me more of Cybertron Lugnutz though (whom I think was roughly inspired off Groove anyway). Colours may change all this

I just don't like him being bent in half for foot mode.

Didn't really notice that till now! Thanks for pointing that out, now I can't ignore it and it bothers me too

Don't look at the other foot then.

i don't mind it for groove as i feel he's supposed to be that way. but i prefer streetwise and in cases where first aid is also a leg, unbent. much like breakdown and wildrider for menasor.

First 2 are up for preorder. These are coming as individual robots this time. I guess Maketoys realised people don't have $500 to drop all at once.
I'm pumped!
