    Alpha Bravo can eat a bag of dicks. A helicopter on my Superion? You might as well give me Aids infected with Ebola.

    But seriously though, 3rd party Slingshot when? They need to make one with a Rolls Royce grill for his chest.

    Also, Reprolabels make lightning stickers for Skydive.

    I'd rather go buy back my Energon Superion than waste money on this garbage.

    I was just playing with my TFC Falcon. Then I saw this sorry excuse for Skydive. $16.99 Hasbro? Really? :crazy:

    Nobody complained in 2007 so there is some form in this matter.

    Irrational? I think he pretty much hit the bullseye! These things look like cheap KO's you find in Easter Baskets. Or they look like legion/cyberverse. For some reason Hasbro thinks lower quality=higher price. Why the hell would any sane person pay almost $20 for this puke???

    Seriously, take a good hard look at Silverbolt in jet mode. When was the last time you saw a voyager that looked that bad? That's a voyager! Not a Cyberverse. They're gonna be charging $20-$30 for that thing. Look how bad it looks in jet mode.

    You whats really hilarious? TF Fans tear the Bay movies apart with no mercy. But when they look at really bad toys they'll never admit they're bad. Everybody should be ripping these apart as much as they do the movies. But instead you go into "Hasbro can do no wrong" mode.

    You really do sound like a broken record. So do a lot of people. Because this is what we're getting, and all this moaning people are doing are not changing the fact this is what we're getting.

    These don't look like KO's to me, they look like simplified deluxe's that are designed to have 4 modes.

    There's this thing called compromise. Just because YOU think you deserve better, doesn't mean you actually should be getting better. Just because you imagine a figure in your head, doesn't mean its cost effective to make it at a pricepoint. When you have gone through the costing breakdowns, retailer requirements and engineering budget that the designers are working with, THEN i'll care. And yeah, sometimes Hasbro just gets it wrong.

    These £15/$15 toys have requirements, and they aren't designed as high end items, they're action figures that do a hell of a lot considering. So you can shit on them till doomsday, they are still happening, and we (as a community) are all still going to buy them. Just because engineering took a step back, doesn't mean the line has turned to garbage, personally I loved the FOC figures and didnt mind that transforming a deluxe didnt take 15 minutes! (that last bit is a joke, please nobody try to start a pissing war about how long it takes to transform deluxes)

    If you don't like them, go buy masterpiece, I did and I'm very happy, my generations purchases are few to none these days. But as I'm probably going to be told, everybody has a right to their opinion, so as somebody that isnt UTTERLY DISGUSTED with the state of deluxes, I'm going to say I get it, I honestly see where you're coming from and as a glass half full kind of guy, I don't care. Don't like them? Don't buy them.

    Looks like this is the European packaging... at the last comic con they said the US deluxe 'limbs' would come with a comic, while the rest of the world got a collector card. Unless they changed their minds.....

    Anyways! LOVE THEM! Will have to see Op in person, but I WILL HAVE ALL THE REAL COMBINER TEAMS!

    To the haters: 1)nobody is forcing you to buy them and 2) 3P guys have been at these for years. I say: MAKE MINE HASBRO!

    I'm pretty bummed with the current size and quality of TF toys...but that's pretty uncalled for. I don't see the need to drag in diseases into this, because...Jesus, because one dude in the team is now a helicopter instead of another boring jet! Whoahhh!


    I'm sure Reprolabels will eventually provide stickers, though.
    Comparing apples and oranges, and lumping people into two opposing camps. Great job.

    People having an opinion on Bay's take on the franchise is relevant to these toys...how?

    Well..the same can be said of the 3P fanboys who go into "3P can do no wrong".

    Whoa! MISB collectors you are now entering toybox heaven. I may need two sets of each combiner to keep sealed and display.

    So Optimus is a combiner now too? Is he a Motormaster repaint?

    I guess it'll be cool to see Optimus as a combiner. It'd be cool if they make windcharger, Sideswipe, Mirage and Jazz to go along with him.

    I think they look nice, mistransformations aside.

    This is one case, I think, where I won't open the packages until I have the entire team.

    So... Are they still coming with the comics in the US?

    Dear Lord! I didn't know he existed. Thanks for bringing him to my attention.

    Ro-Tor can retroactively eat a bag of dicks.

    And while I'm at it, Storm Jet can also do the same. You're a space shuttle, not a plane or a jet. Go be a limb somewhere else.

    I love the boxart. The black color scheme looks esp nice for Drag Strips box.

    Only negative is no comic included. :(

    I know these guys are the Aerilbots and all, but yeesh the whole 'jet on top of a folded robot' thing is just awful.

    Dragstrip's head is... different.


    Automatic lie! :tongue: 

    The heck is that?

    Yup, US gets comics, rest of the world gets collector cards. These photos are of the four-language Canadian/Latin American market versions in particular.

    Wow that's some damn fine good looking packaging. Looks like they updated the bubble too so it connections to the back like Uni 2.0 did.

    Packaging aside Dragstrip is still the only must buy right now.

    Optimus and Motormaster share almost the same concepts except retools parts.

    Silverbolt to Scattershot is possible. The real problem is the front cannon gimmick for Scattershot and a lot of heavily retooled chest and leg panels.
