    Great stuff!

    The Terrorcons looks really cool and they do seem like an improvement from your usual Combiner Wars mould, much more varied.

    Windcharger looks okay but I don't know if I will get it considering I already have the last Scout figure.

    Rodimus Unicronus is Shatered Glass Rodimus without a doubt and that makes it AWESOME!

    Really excited for this line now.

    Our nose monster lord Blot has returned. Feels good to get the Terrorcons as part of a modern day collection.

    Sad that Abominus had to give up his MONSTER KNEES though.

    Now that you mention it, he does have those awful the stickers. I swear, it's like Hasbro is counting on us going the Reprolabels route for everything these days.

    Oh well, I guess I won't be adding a SG Rodimus to my collection, any time soon.

    Oh my gosh, that Windcharger is just the cutest.

    I skipped the last Legends one because I still have the (excellent) RTS scout, but I might pick up some version of this mold. Perhaps a Tailgate repaint?

    Only real interest for me is the Skrapnel. Wonder if they tightened the horns on it.

    Knitpicks:
    1) No antennae on Abominus? Uh-oh.
    2) Every Terrorcon has a different fist color. I don't care if they're not purple, but they should at least be uniform.
    3) Scorponok's bio card uses the same art as Magnus from the Arcee set.

    Likely because they've taken lessons learned from Titans as to how to reuse elements of different figures to create a new one.

    Also, Ripper uses elements of Grotusque.

    Seriously? Another Windcharger? Someone at Hasbro has a serious hard-on for that little guy.

    I kind of love that Black Rodimus isn't just a SG homage. It's kind of an amalgomation of many previous ideas, mostly of the various Black Rodimus's there have been, but he also reminds me a little of Animated Motor Master with the Macho Man glasses and goatee. You can just imagine him saying, "Ooooh yeeeah! Don't mess with Black Rodimus because I've swam with the Sharkticons and flown with the Seekers! Oooooh yeeeeaaah!"

    Terrorcons look pretty cool. Windcharger is a nice surprise.

    Love the look of the Terrorcons. They won't be replacing Ordin but they'll look great as individual monsters alongside him. Rippersnapper especially.

    Hun-Grrr looks great in bot mode but his front legs in beast mode are ridiculously out of proportion. They look like toothpicks!!

    Cuttroath and the Terrorcons are looking good! Grotusque is looking good. Looks like Hasbro still wants some of my money.

    Loving all of these. The only shame is that Hun-gurrr couldn't get his own, more dedicated, arm sculpt that would actually look like beast legs in dragon mode. And of course his teeny front legs as well.

    But everything else is looking good. I'm definitely down for mustachioed biker Rodimus... who looks like a retail SG release!

    I'm not sure quite why, but I'm getting a real retro Starriors vibe from the Pretenders suits, and I like it.
