Is it just me, or is someone finally putting these things into poses?

Wheeljack's pose cracked me up my ass. It almost makes me want to get him because of how much his pose looks like dancing. It must be intentional.

 

I think there's a cure for that. Just buy a Bumblebee Shelfwarmer and apply 3 times daily.

 

No more Rescue Bots!?!

 

Actually I'm surprised they got the new Jail break and Fire Truck sets, however the show accurate Cody makes we think maybe we'll see some show accurate toys sooner or later.


The Kre-O's though, they're interesting and it's nice to see they're giving more variety in TF's, but I bought most of the first line, and rarely will they stand up in robot mode. Unless they changed the hinge quality, I'll probably have to pass on them.

 

I guess I'm the only one that thinks the new Kre-o's look like crap  

 

Like Wheeljack.

 

Devs, WJ v. KO, and Vortex WILL BE MINE.

Think getting the old BB and old Megs to use for parts in Devs and for a hatchback 'bee would work?

 

Is it just me, or does Kreo Devastator's head look really damn small?

Lots more pics at tformers if your looking for botshots and rescuebots pics :

I just noticed thre that the Chase "Bots and Robbers" Rescue Bots playset comes with an exclusive criminal figure - so our first Rescuebot villan then of sorts ; Also the Chase with the Set is actually Blue as well.

Autotroopers confirmed as TFA homage.

I just can't let go of that show.  

 

Man, I'm totally geeking out over that Kre-O city. I guarantee it was both equally fun and a major pain in the ass to build/set up.

 

I was hoping the Vehicons would defect to the Autobot side and become Autotroopers or they'd show up under the command or Ultra Magnus & Ironhide (and or Kup) on the show.

Curious lack of even the Chinese Prime stuff we know about like Dead End, Airachnid and so on.

Hopefully they will at least show us Breakdown properly before the end of the show.

I think this is the Last Botcon that is going to matter as a news event in any meaningful way the recent Asian show beat this one easily in terms of presentation.

And China looks like it's getting 90% of the same Stuff as America and a whole lot of extras beside. It makes the Hasbro USA offerings a bit thin on the ground by comparison.

Especially with a current lack of any (or many) store exclusives.

 

My Impressions:

Bot Shots - Looking good. I was not aware the Acid Storm set included a Nemesis Prime. Now I want it even more. Also, I'm impressed at the new molds, really liking Brawl and torn on which version to get (regular desert camo or the green one from the battle pack).

Rescue Bots - Holy crap, CODY is the first human in this line that's actually from the show? Not like that's a bad thing, since he's one of the rare human kid characters who isn't annoying or useless. Hopefully this means the rest of the Burns family will get toys, too.

Kre-O: Wheeljack had me laughing, I'll admit. These things look SO much better when decently posed, something Hasbro finally seems to be catching on to. Not to hot on Devestator himself, but I LOVE the individual Constructicon robot modes, very cool. The purple helicopter guy looks awesome, I might need to pick him up simply to call him Spinster (Vortex is already taken by the FoC figure for me). The Giant Kre-O city is possibly even cooler than the cyberverse set-up, because it actually puts these things into action poses and looks just like something you'd find at a LegoLand.

 

Am I the only one who noticed that on the Street Showdown Kre-O box it says Knock Out is an Autobot?

 

spoiler alert?

 

I can't wait for the new Bot Shots. They make great desk toys.

 

I haven't really been into Kre-o too much, but I must say these new ones look much nicer.

Of course that's beside the point, I want that fucking Devastator
