    See? It helps to be patient. All three of those look like they kick some major ass. All it takes is a better photographer :p

    Look closely again pls.

    - He's still got the gold plastic 'diaper'.
    - He's got gold plastic fold-out heels at the back of his lower leg. Appearantly, his little feet don't provide enough stability.
    - Undercarriage kibble is not a good thing.

    This!


    IMO the lack of ankle joints are alright.. But yes, ball jointed ankles would've been awesome.. Anyhow, the mold is pretty good on its own already.

    Now why the fuck couldn't they take pics like that in the first place and save us from the deluge of 'omg Hasblow sux crappy movie toyz are crap, wah wah wah :cry ' posts!

    ;) 

    Very happy to see that the Dreads pincers do indeed fold away neatly and his legs look as awesome as I thought they would properly extended.

    Wow! I LOVE the Dread! Deluxe Starscream looks pretty good for his size class.

    They are mine!

    - The gold diaper's the only thing that I would call a con. Hasbro either wanted to add some color or he actually has a golden groin in the movie.
    - The heels don't bother me. It's there for stability and honestly I could not give a crap what color it was... unless it was anything other than silver, gold or black.
    - One version from every movie must have undercarriage kibble: Movie 1 Voyager;Movie 2 Leader;Movie 3 Deluxe. ROTF Voyager Starscream was a miracle in Alt mode, but it was a steamy pile of dog shit in Robot mode compared to the Leader AND (IMO) DOTM Deluxe.

    All three look fantastic, but the Dread stands out the most for me! Really unique look and design and downright sinister. The details are awesome, from the cool dreads to the sharp, pointed fingers.

    Starscream looks very nice as well, and I must say that the Mech Tech sword is all kinds of cool! It would make a lovely accessory for many other Transformers, if compatible, that is.

    I posted this in another thread, but I think it kinda should be seen in this one as well
    "I wonder if this is why a lot of the new movie figures look like a step backwards with articulation, paint etc. i.e. Grappel is too "nice" to sell for 19.99 so they have to sell him for 23 (or whatever), but with DOTM they've lessened the quality and will price them at 19.99?"

    Do you think they made the watermark intrusive enough?

    Well, it's great to hear those stupid pincers do in fact fold away on the dread, but I'm still not digging the robot mode. I also do not plan on picking up that Starscream, either, since I've still got to pick up the Leader.

    But the Buggy guy...HE is the one I like. Robot mode looks pretty good, and alt. mode is neat as well. Might even pick up two and make one into Ironfist, the proportions seem about right in robot mode at least.

    Starscream look TONS better properly transformed, and now may be worth the pickup even with the ROTF Leader and Voyager, just for kicks I guess. Dread also looks a lot better.

    I really want that Starscream. It looks pretty cool. I can have a Movie Starscream the same scale as Classics Screamer now. :D 

    The Dread and dune buggy are looking awesome. Definitely want to see the Dread on the big screen!

    Starscream looks much better here. Of course, the giant weapon and ridiculous watermark are in the way, but hey, he looks great.

    God damn the dreads are so cool. I'll be getting at least two.
