    I'm definitely getting the twins. Jolt is a maybe depending on whether or not he gets a more movie accurate toy with a robot replica or human alliance figure.

    That's the Movie 1 Arcee.

    The ROTF Arcee is in Wave 5 with Swerve, Stalker Scorponok, etc.

    The difference in quality between the photoshopped pics and the actual product is really starting to get out of hand.

    A bit of airbrush "enhancement", say adding a nice metallic sheen that's going to be absent on a plastic toy doesn't bother me. Adding nonexistent paint-apps on the other hand, is crossing into the realm of false advertising. Most figures are packaged in vehicle mode; consumers rely on the "back of box" picture to ascertain what the robot mode will look like. That photo should be an actual picture of the toy inside, not an artist's representation of what it would look like if you contract FrenzyRumble to paint it for you.

    Paint apps are not trivial; plenty of great molds have been tarnished through plastiky-blandness. If Hasbro is not willing to spend the money to put those paint apps on their toys that's fine; they shouldn't be advertising them on the back of the packing.

    In any case, their tarted-up Blazemaster had my interest, but once you see 'em with the makeup off...*shudder

    "Starting to get out of hand"? Looks like same-old same-old to me.

    Those paint apps were likely originally planned, but dropped for budget reasons. It's not intentional deception. It's why the back of every Transformers packaging says "Products and colors may vary".

    ...Actually, comparing this to the original Wal-Mart image, it looks like a lot of the difference in color isn't due to dropped paint apps, but rather a switch in plastic color. Proto-Blazemaster had blue-face and bronze-head, which is switched on this pic. There's no way that happens when nothing but a few paint apps are budgeted out.

    Jolt makes me sad. It just...meh! He needs a better toy. And a better part in TF3.

    And I donno about Blazemaster yet either.

    Ice cream Twins will still be mine!

    Now that I've seen the movie, I think the twins should have stayed in Ice Cream truck mode. Probably will get that one, the rest, not likely.:sly2:

    Anyone else notice that repaint Dead End's head looks more like Sideways actual head in the movie? I mean he clearly has visor eyes like soundwave.
    I will probably get them all except blaze master, he has an awesome name but thats it.

    Wave 3 has been out since early June. I'd bank on sometime this month.

    If it wasn't for the horrific looking head sculpt, I would get Dead End. As it is, I'll only be getting the Twins and Jolt from this wave. Blasemaster's copter-mode is awesome, but his bot-mode, specifically his arms, is hideous. The "chicken legs" don't bother me, but it's pretty much the rest of the bot-mode that does. The head sculpt is the one, small, positive to BM's bot-mode, but is no where near enough to redeem the rest of it.

    Jolt and Dead End are musts. Skipped Sideways to get this version instead. Blazemaster looked interesting in the display case at Botcon, but still on the fence about him.

    I'm dying for Long Haul, though--whichever wave he's in. That's probably the one I'm looking forward to the most.
