    I'm hoping the blade of Wreck-Gar's axe would be coloured red for the United release. Can anyone tell where it goes in alt mode?

    Secondly, it appears that Perceptor's chest can flip down. Just for decoration, or perhaps hinting at a microscope feature?

    axe becomes rear wheel so it would be silver
    I think hasbro said at botcon it's analysis platform, not microscope.

    Kup looks positively excellent!

    Lugnut is friggin GLORIOUS.

    And Tracks' flight mode, well, I just assaulted a haberdashery and ate every single hat they had. It's not astounding, but hey, at least it's there.

    Thanks, those are great.

    I like the green they used on Lugnut better than the earlier picture.

    "Earth mode" Kup looks very good. I like the faux G1 hood/windshield chest on his robot mode. That, the colors, and the headsculpt evoke the character quite nicely!

    Oh? In that case, I don't see why it was painted/molded in red in the first place. It would match the front wheel.

    I hope those tires fold back on Kup, other than that he looks great.

    Kup's looking great! I do hope his shoulders can move up a bit more, they seem a little low. Lugnut's color choice is interesting and Tracks flight mode is a bit dissapointing but Kup steals the show!

    Why does Lugnut have a purple head? Lugnut is supposed to have a green (well, teal) head.

    The Hasbro release was accurate, too, as Straxus was blue and red for his first appearance.

    This colour scheme seems to be based on the cover for issue 18 (he has blue, white and gold colour scheme in the actual story IIRC) and his appearances in the UK comics.
