So we finally get the blue Rumble/Frenzy, but only in a multi-pack with a Movie Bee? Lame.

 

I am seriously pissed that in order to get Rumble (the blue one) I need to buy a barely repainted Soundwave but not only that but it is a Target exclusive! Are you kidding me? They barely carry sh*t, they are just as worse as Walmart. I mean if I find it great then hell has frozen over and I'll finally have a CHUG Howlback & Rumble but come on Hasbro you should of made it an Amazon exclusive or something!  

But Sideswipe, Hound, & Chromia are a must I can't believe they are redoing Chromia and she looks really good too. Planning on going completist for the Micromasters.

Skipping OP still.

And I'm torn on Magnus & Ironhide, like is Magnus voyager or leader? He just doesn't look as good as the CW Leader despite my preference against IDW. And something tells me you could repaint Ironhide into Energon Snow Cat.

 

Holy shit does that Ultra Magnus look great. Prime looks completely solid, no hidden hollowness on the backside at all. And Hound... what the hell is going on Hasbro? This is fantastic.

 

Ironhide looks solid, and Magnus’s altmode is looking mean. I like what I’m seeing.

 

I really don't care for these alt modes and battle damage. Only ones I might get are Ironhide and maybe Sideswipe to attempt a head swap with the 2008 toy.

 

Rumble isn't packed with Soundwave. He's packed with the black Laserbeak, blue Ravage, and crap BB. You can see the 4-pack box behind him.

 

Yeah I was corrected in another thread just as I figure it out myself. Now I can skip Soundwave and hopefully that cassette pack will sit longer because of the dreaded One Step their packed with.

 

I hope they do one more fembot, even if it is from the same Moonracer mold. Greenlight, Lancer, anyone. I just need a 4th to go with Moonracer, Firestar, and Chromia to complete my Elita combiner!

 

That Ultra Magnus looks so good!!!

 

I think they may have retooled the combiner parts out of her.

NOT A RETOOL!

 

Surprised at how mean looking Ultra Magnus's alt mode is. Superb!

Ironhide is very welcomed.

Hound looks surprisingly good.

Micromasters look good, fun.

 

One would think "War" for Cybertron would have Decepticons, but...


(yeah I'm sure they'll be in later waves, but eesh)

 

The alt mode, especially the front cab does reminds me of RID/Car robot Ultra Magnus's alt mode.

 

Ok Magnus here looks powerful in both modes. His alt mode just screams RID01 Ultra Magnus/Car Robots God Magnus so that's awesome they homage that. Also yeah it's clear that he has an inner robot inside him and his alt mode actually shows that. The panel can't get here soon enough!

Also wasn't expecting Chromia to show up at all let alone as a retool of POTP Moonracer/Novastar. I was actually expecting Windblade to show up first but not bothered by it. Just curious that's all.

 

Magnus and Ironhide look amazing. Magnus does have a very chunky torso from the side, but that's fine.

 

Magnus and Ironhide look amazing!!! Can't believe we're FINALLY getting Voyager size representations of these characters!!! Awesome!!!

(Now, if Takara could just go ahead and remove the battle damage deco I'd be very grateful.)

 

We are still in preview mode and we don't know who's in what wave yet, typically they show two wave at SDCC, so we could just be seeing the Autobot half of wave one and two right now.
