so far i am happy. Can't wait for real, final pics of the toys.

 

both look good to me ...reason why I am stopping my cybertron collecting once I FINALLY find soundwave...if I ever do...he is impossible to find. Once I find him, Primus and the new Unicron I am quitting cybertron and saving for these guys  

 

Technically someone already did. When the lists came out there were 2 lists. The older one listed a deluxe prime and a voyager prime. The only difference being the voyager with trailer.

When the more recent list came out fairly recently, the deluxe listing for prime wasn't there anymore, but the voyager one was, and was moved up to wave 1 rather than 2.

Megs and Prime might be the same size, perhaps the huge backpack attachements Megs has makes him a voyager. Maybe its like Cybertron prime, a huge bot in regular mode, even bigger with all the attachements.

 

BTW guys....

the picture of Megs in gun mode is said to be(from those of you who went to botcon last year) the same picture that was shown@botcon last year. This leads me to believe that all 4 pictures we see now were taken last year....get my lingo? Its been a year folks, these toys looked awesome then, IMAGINE what they will look like NOW?!!!!

So they have had a year to make changes and for all we know the final release might even blow these old early prototypes away.

Here's to hoping we get some good pics too instead of these crappy xeroxes.

 

hasn't the majority of this thread been mostly positive if erring on the side of "wish the pictures were better" or "witholding judgment until we get real pics"???

 

They have. These people that post to bitch about the negativity in this thread (which constitutes a small percentage of posts) are guilty of what they are bitching about; finding the negative in a sea of positive. They're taking the posts of a handful and overlooking the vast majority of the positive comments. To hell with them.

 

You can't really tell from these low quality pictures, but the design of their heads looks a lot like that of their actionmaster counterparts.

From what I can make out with these pictures thus far, I'm liking these new figures.

 

Beautiful.

Prime is almost exactly like his G1 self, but still different. His weapon seems a bit lackluster though.

I love Megatron's alt mode, but then again I'm a bit biased since I own a NERF Maverick. The robot mode looks nice. Still looks G1, but it's different enough to hold its own.

Can't wait for these.

 

Well, my 2 cents-Prime looks pretty decent, but I am not feelin this new megs. The gun is okay looking, the robot mode just looks kinda lame IMO.

And yes, I will be the 50th person to say better pics could make a significant difference.  

 

Well, it's the first non-reissue-gun-Megatron since the 1980s, it has a scope that seems to be his gun in bot mode and the handle of the gun is made from one of the legs.

I'd say he's at least remotely related to G1 Megatron.

uh

these guys could have atleast used a thick handgun like a glock.yep megs would have been closer to his cartoon roots.
by the way ,i have heard of the transformers classics line for a while,but do not understand what it is supposed to be. 

 

While I agree the maximals were pretty terrible, I'd say the Vehicons were/are even better than most of the figures we've gotten in the past few years. I love Tankor. Unless you were talking about the show, in which case I didnt see it.

You seem to be missing the point here. A lot of us liked the old characters, but we DONT like the undersized guys with no articulation. That's why we want the old characters with the new technology, so our childhood's can be better than before, and at a lower price  

Now, you could say "well that's what Alternators are for" and I'd agree with you, but Alternators doesnt have enough vehicle mode diversity (as of yet?). I mean come on, an Astrotrain Alternator? People would complain that he's neither a train nor a spaceship. So now they have their own new version and they're happy. I dont see what's so wrong about that.

 

A Glock? You know that wasn't ever going to happen. A futuristic Gun mode is better than no Gun mode at all.

 

Heh, I was kinda hoping that pictures of some of the other figures might've been posted by the time I got back on here today.

 

And the simple fact is, Alternators were never meant to be toys in the practical sense. Hasbro's press releases for them describes them two-fold: 1/24 realistic cars, and your favorite characters from the past.

Agreed. As a kid I had just as much fun, if not more, with Shockwave and Sixshot as Megatron.

Galvatron was more about the tank for me though.

 

Wow. Reading this and then your signature directly below it is a really entertaining example of irony.

 

Thank god for once ill have the option of buying a Prime without the trailer, and it will save me money too  

To me the trailers are just big lumps of boring plastic, and they don't display well. The figure is where its at for me.

Between Scourge, Energon Prime, Armada Prime, G1 Prime, and some others, I'm running out of room for these giant plastic bricks  

 

Prime looks like that G2 hero Prime in Robot mode.... Looks sexy on Alt mode though.

 

And this coming from someone who can't spell the word  

And the only reason you quoted my post is to make yourself look smart, And having nothing constructive to say, your wasting mine and every one else's time.

And to answer Abrogate's question, IMO both sucked.

Anyways back on subject, I think the figure's are sweet, And now that im employed full time again I'll be buying alot of NEO G1, Thank you all for your time

I'm Dark MK and im out........

 

*cough cough*


After thinking it it over, I'll be quite happy if Megatron has an arm mounted canon, and a G1-Like head. Love the return to gun alt-mode.
