    Prowl looks kinda like the design seen in that MMO promo material a long time ago.

    I am actually happy w/ the amount of figs this line has released. Not as overwhelming as the movie lines. Remember how much was released for them? Practically a new/repaint every couple of weeks. What makes the difference is price. The only unfortunate thing now is practically every place I look at is usually picked clean. What few figs I do find, are ones I have. I usually end up ordering them on line. But, to each their own....I guess. Happy hunting guys/gals.

    Skystalker's previous release had light blue wings/legs, the new one has those in green. They used the old version of Ratchet in the pic, but since they don't re-release figures on futurewaves, it would surely be a repaint.

    Here's hoping they remolded the head and chest.

    I personally don't think they will re-color the ratchet because that will go over the original 16 figure limit for BH deluxes. For skystalker they must be either re-re-releasing him with these (slightly altered colors) as a variant, or (my opinion) the lighting in the picture or something is just messing with the colors to make them look that way.
    I think the reason that Ratchet and Skystalker are present is because they are the other to figures that are in the case

    Yeah... image is too small to form any sort of judgement. I like the Smokescreen mold, fiddly as it is (context: I also like the RiD Car Brothers, and only Sideburn is fiddly and anyone who has trouble with X-Brawn and Prowl... umm... I don't see how they're hard), but... I need to see a better picture than this to be on board for a redeco. The Prime line has gone stale for me... though the dragons are still pretty awesome. I'll keep getting those as I see em.

    OH LOOK! YET ANOTHER BUMBLEBEE THAT I WILL NOT BE BUYING!
    Its like hasbro is trying to piss us all off with this stuff im watching tfp and do not see all these horrible armored characters nor do i see these repaints that hasbro said they were not going to make due to the fact of them only focusing on the characters in the show
    that bumblebee could have easily been a deluxe breakdown but who am I to say what I want.

    Great another BB.
    You'd think Hasbro would eventually notice how he's quickly reduced in price at most online and retail stores.

    Yeah, if anything that Skystalker is probably just a shade off because this is a picture of a picture. Entertainment Earth and other websites that post up stuff by the case like Previews always picture the older figures present in the case.

    Might have preferred a non-spiky BB in black, but I may get that one regardless. BH BB has his own strange badass quality, which a mostly-black recolor would only enhance.

    I don't mind Bee's new colors, he has them in the show but I would rather have had a remold of his chest so it be smaller and more show accurate. Don't know why Hasbro didn't do it when they did the beast Hunter figure, it would have pleased the fans and smaller chest would mean lesser plastic, so they would have saved on production costs. And why not make the Beast Hunter arcee commander class? Same thing there, more show accurate and cheaper production costs.

    Just looking at that tiny pic, Prowl looks awesome so far. I want him and also want that new Smokescreen scheme to be released in a deluxe size too. BB is probably a pass.

    I'm betting Ratchet and Skystalker are not changed in any way, and any visual differences in the pic are just artifacts of the image.

    What he (will have) said.

    Skystalker and Ratchet in this wave are just carry overs, the image Diamond got is just over-saturated.

    Isn't that the Cyberverse?

    And Skystalker is called "Storm Razor". Huh.
