Official High Resolution Images of Universe Leo Prime and Overload

OK, I'm sold on Leo Prime, that Primal Prime color scheme & new head sculpt are both nice and I never got Leo/Nemesisbreaker so this guy will look nice attached to Cybertron Prime. I wish they would make up thier minds on whether he's a Maximal or Autobot though.

Sadly this is true, such a shame. I'd CONSIDERED getting Leo Prime because of the new head, but the colors looked wonky to begin with, now they're just nauseating.

And Overload, him I was planning on getting, but UGH those colors! Seriously Hasbro, you need to stop putting photoshopped pictures out there, it only causes disappointment.

I can't figure out what is more bewildering, the fact that Overload is being released or the fact that I clicked on the link.

Yay! Now I can have another thing to attach to the rerelease Cybertron Prime! Woot! Hee Hee, Prime on Prime action!

Overstatement much? Yes, you are overstating and exaggerating.

There are reports of Henkei Prowls with sticky paint as well, along with problems in the new Binaltech line and of course, the misassembled and/or busted shoulders of Henkei Thundercracker. Don't act as though only Hasbro has problems this year and sweep QC issues with other toy manufacturers under the rug.

I want that Leo to repaint him to a badass G1 Razorclaw, bet I'm not the only one getting him for this reason

I'd hold off if Razorclaw is your only motivation for this toy - I'm thinking Hasbro went to the trouble of making a new head for this mold so they could redeco it as Razorclaw themselves later on.

I thought of that too, but who knows when hasbro will do it. Or its colors.

Yuck on both. Didnt we JUST GET a Cybertron Defense Scattorshot repaint in the form of Dropshot? I guess its never too soon to repaint repaints...

Leo Prime, he was always on my rejection list... Not even a new head can detract from the awful paint job on it.

Kinda disappointed in Overload. The colours are worse than I thought they were, and - After comparing to the originals - They've decided to cheap out on the techno-camoflage (Technoflage?) paint job that was so appealing to me. Bah...
