And I bet if they released them in proper G1 Colors... a good number of folks stating otherwise would bite. I'd not be the least bit suprised if they did re-release a G1 Schemed version soon after for that matter.

I think they look pretty good. The alt mode, in particular is fantastic. The bot modes' sculpt could've possibly been made to be a bit closer to the G1 figures I guess. I'm sure someone will cast Reflector heads for this as soon as it's out. Watch.

The only thing that would make this better would be if all the camera bits formed the crazy/cool weapons the PE Reflector set had.

I really like the look of these guys. I kinda like the fact that they don't look exactly like the G1 Reflector. The only thing I'm worried about is the price

I like it, now, if they cost less than a real DSLR, I'm interested.

I think these look great. i don't mind that they don't look like the G1 figs. sometimes that's not a bad thing.

I'll be honest. I don't like them. It's not the colours (although they don't really work for me), nor is it the fact that they aren't accurate to the G1 designs (that isn't a minus for me at all, unlike some people). I think it's the simplicity. Sure, the Hercules figures are simplistic, but you get Hercules out of it, and they have plenty of little gimmicks.

I have the Perfect Effect Scouting Force X guys, and what I like so much about them is that, despite the robots all being identical (apart from the colour on their wrists), after equipping them with all their accessories, they look drastically different and unique, whilst still being somewhat uniform.

Here, we have two robots who are identical (apart from accessories, it appears, but the accessories look kind of bare-bones and boring), and a third that is unique but also kind of lacking.

Now, this is just my opinion, but I think the Perfect Effect version strikes a much better balance than the TFC Toys one. I also can't stand the TFC alt mode. I much prefer the Perfect Effect camera, as it looks a bit less realistic, but also a bit less like a camera knock-off, yet still passable as a camera. If that makes sense.

I'm sure someone will paint these up to be cartoon accurate at some point.

uh no. Nice looking for camera robots but they are not Reflector, sorry.

PE it is for me, glad I didn't wait around for these to come out before I bought them.

I think it's an awesome take on G1 Reflector. I prefer by far these colours and marvelous alt mode to the outdated G1. I also like the robots but, although not as simplistic as Perfect Effect, they are still quite simple.

That said I would pay $60 tops, not $95.5 as RK lists.

Exactly... They're too generic, too purple and too...boring looking.

PE wins.

Hasbro still loses if you catch the meaning...
