    Did HasTak lose TLK Berserker's head or something?

    I hope Sideswipe can stand up without issue; that's always been a problem with his toy releases...

    For crying out loud. Sideswipe is a convertible. Why the hell does he have roof kibble on his back?

    I was just thinking the same thing. His wheel feet look identical to the ROTF version, which was a nightmare to pose. At least Barricade looks good. He looks much bulkier and beefier than the scrawny DOTM versyon. The head sculpt also looks much better. To me, the DOTM version always looked like it had a moustache.

    That sucks, I was hoping that was the rear tailpipe assembly that he used to blast sideways a couple times.

    Also, that looks like its going to be a pain to pose. Thanks a lot Bay.

    The feet are transformed wrong in these pics. Those bumper pieces are designed to end up on his heels this time. Other pics at the convention show that off so his feet are super show accurate.

    Well leave it to HasTak to do something like mistransform the figure. As if that hasn't happened already.

    If you looked at it for more than two seconds you can clearly see it’s the hood. Convertibles still have hoods.

    Well I'm probably gonna pick up Barricade and Sideswipe.
    I'm very disappointed with WW2 bee, don't care about the dreads, so I probably won't pick him up.

    Sideswipe doesn't look so good there. Barricade really does look like a mini-MPM though. If WWII Bumblebee had a different head that would make a perfect movieverse Hound, if Hound didn't look like Bulkhead with a beard.

    No There's no difference on any figures released by Takara or Hasbro as off The last knight Toyline both release the same version of the figure.

    Suddenly not interested with Sideswipe anymore. Sidearm Sideswipe looks better than this.

    It is just me or HasTak is using lesser paint with their newer wave of Studio Series?

    barricade still looks amazing

    sideswipe is not as amazing anymore, that white grey plastic is terrible, other then that its great, dont get why they used that grey

    WW2 bee sucks so bad! just terrible and not accurate at all

    and 

    crankcase is horrible!!! why use the crowbar mold!!!! they arent that similar! they should of used the berserker mold!!!!

    Still baffled that Crankcase is just a Crowbar with bronze. I can\'t understand why when the crankcase molding already exists??

    Barricade definitely looks better in these pictures. I wasn't sure if I wanted him before,but now I'm more likely to buy him.

    WWII Bumblebee still looks great and these pics make him look even better than Hasbro's pics did. I don't mind the backpack,really.It adds some bulk to him. His accessories look fun and I like that hammer every time I see it.
