    Pretty excited for that shadow guy, mostly for the headswap and spark extractor for lockdown, but the orange does kinda look cool on lockdown but I think I'd have prefered a lime green. it'd be real neat if there was a little slot on the new head for his face gun from his aoe deluxe. The KSI drone looks ok, but I think I'm mostly excited for dotm ratchet and VW bee

    After much soul-searching, I've decided the SS reveals are good enough for me. Sentry and Shadow Raider are gonna make great army-builders. I'm already disillusioned with the Ratchet mold due to defects with my copy, but I'm willing to give it another chance if only for the gun. I've been set on Ironhide since day 1 cause he's honestly the best in the Voyager scale we have. Dropkick looks fantastic and I hope we get to see the Javelin version and Shatter soon. The only ones I'm truly cold on are RotF Starscream and VW Bee. Starscream's saw is good but I'm not fond of the tats anymore. Bumblebee is fine, but it just doesn't capture the cuteness I wanted him to have.

    VW bee actually has 2 different heads. One is the battle mask and the other is his normal head.

    If Hastak is into cashing with troupbuilding: make the SS Skids and Mudflap and give them each 3 aditional colors and get some extra drony heads..
    and make them interchanfable between the orhers..
    instant AOE KSI Drones (they were mostly chevy trax)
    Then people could buy 6 bots and have an option to buy 18 more witch all look different

    Oh.. AND have the Twins witch make it 20..
    all on 2 moulds.. heck, make skids in black and you have the DOTM twins making it 22!

    I’m glad they are doing separate toys for each alt mode for the triple changers.. I means you seriously think that the gimick would work for movie toys as deluxes?

    There are many, MANY ways that they could have pulled this off (no pun intended) that wouldn’t have involved a freaking arm stuck to his ass. How do I know? Because basically EVERY BEE TOY EVER has had a more graceful solution to this problem. Why wasn’t it a smaller attachment that went over the arm? Why didn’t it flip out from the arm?

    Referencing non-TF figures is pointless because these figures are meant to flip and change WITHOUT pieces coming off as much as possible. It’s in their very nature.

    I love the studio series line, but aside from some nitpicks with some figures, weapon storage is the main thing they didn’t even try to have work well in some of the figures (some do it well). Lockdown has plenty of empty space in his vehicle mode, and yet his weapons peg in on the doors? Bee has to have an extra ass arm? Ratchet has an umbrella made of razors? Jazz has a reverse direct tv dish on the back of his car mode?

    If I had to choose something they should sacrifice for accuracy it’s probably weapon storage, but still, they could have tried a little harder on a few of them.

    Oh... didn't realize people still cared about weapon storage on movie toys...

    I mean... It's a valid complaint, but... I don't care...

    Just don’t stick his arm on his ass and it’s all good.

    I get that. Like I said, it’s probably the most acceptable sacrifice they could have made, but on a few of the figures, Bee included, with just a little effort they could have done it. I really appreciated the effort that the first few years of movie figures put into integrating the weapons, then dotm had to fuck it all up with mechtech! When they transform in the movies it’s not like their weapons fall to the ground or are put in a box somewhere...

    They probably couldnt get the rights to use either model. Not sure what time the movie is set in, but i believe the apache came about in the mid eighties.

    Naw. It's all Cobra. With the clearer pictures it looks like it's a Super Cobra. Dual exhaust in the rear vs. one exhaust is clear to see now in the official pictures.

    To be fair, Lockdown could probably kick all their asses anyway. He did capture all the Dinobots on his own, after all. ;)
