    Wow, the open chest pic of Galvatron makes it seem like an unpainted prototype.
    Windblade looks okay. I just wish the colors weren't so bland.

    That Brainstorm looks far better than I ever gave the idea of a Blurr retool credit for.

    Unfortunately, judging from the fact there are clear bands around the head, that is a packaged sample and is very likely what the toy will be at mass retail.

    Makes me glad I have the Takara version on pre-order then.

    Link? The only Max sword I can see is being held by the Japanese original/reissue there.

    Well, good news for those who care. PM Prime's helmet allows the Headmaster gimmick to be ignored and Fort Max can in fact form a more G1 accurate city mode.

    Man, the pic of Galvatron with the other Titanmaster (Crashbash/Squeezeplay/Cancer I think?) really illustrates how badly he needs silver paint on his face. :(

    Yeah, plus the crown/hockey mask thing looks horrible. I think I'll just keep that from being deployed at all. Looks a lot better with just the standard head (needs paint though).

    Except for the paint on the shoulders. What other paint operations would it need? Bearing in mind the painted chest detail is obscured because the door is opened.

    Agreed. Wonder if I could futz his head onto the Voyager Brainstorm.

    Galvatron's mask looks very awkward and silly but other then that the rest of him looks awesome. Also like that with PM Optimus you can choose to not use the HM gimmick if you don't want to. :)  Can it be done for Blaster as well?

    Yeah, I know, but because of the unpainted head, photo angle and open chest it makes it look unfinished.

    I've had my doubts but you seem to be correct Knoted: the TR Deluxes so seem to be about a head taller than RID Warriors at least.

    Ah okay.

    Also: Blurr has a Gerwalk mode!

    That base mode makes me very, very happy. Much more Max-like.

    I've always thought the robot mode worked shockingly well, it's the vehicle mode where it feels like too much of Blurr remains -- it's mostly the gap at the back of the cockpit -- that's so totally Blurrs thing + is odd/impractical for a aerial vehicle (which to my eye calls extra attention to it). If they'd closed that gap and gotten his twin tails instead of the single one replacing Blurr's spoiler thing, I think it'd have been a total success.

    Optimus reveal: AWESOME.
    Fortress Maximus city mode: YES.

    I love that they made it so Optimus could both have the gimmick of the line and be one whole bot to satisfy both opinions on the figure. Pretty doggone cool!

    I gotta say too, while I have some nits and niggles, this line is really overall impressive. I still can't believe how good the HM Beasts are looking, Skullcruncher is fantastic in these pix.
