I wonder why Twinstrike and Laserback have a different logo than what we've seen. Maybe that's the actual Predacon logo, and the orange one is specific to Predaking?

I'm definitely getting Laserback, but I'll be renaming him Bruticus. I'll also probably get the Legion Airachnid. Deluxe Bumblebee and Soundwave are tempting. Bumblebee still has the derpy chest, but I'm really liking the look of his new weapon and armor. Especially the helmet. I'm not really sure why Soundwave is armored-up, other than to sell another toy. I'm going to wait to see him in-person.

The Apex armor is definitely tempting. Though the colors are a little weird, and the inclusion of Breakdown still makes no sense. Might get this as an impulse buy. I might even get Smokescreen's ship to counter it, lol...

Overall this has been a good NYCC. Don't think I'll get more than a handful of what's been revealed, but I'm liking the way things are progressing, so there should definitely be more purchases from me in the future. Should be interesting to see what all they show-off at Toy Fair.

 

So I'm planning on buying:

Legion Twinstrike (character completest for Prime and no guarantee of a larger one)
Deluxe Soundwave (for Ravage mostly)
Deluxe Laserback
Voyager Predaking (though I'd like to see more on that bigger one)
Omega Supreme
Maybe: Optimus Prime (to go with Omega)

 

I couldn't be more excited for those steroid deluxes. Love the way they look.

 

I wonder why Hasbro didn't use the name Sinnertwin? It seems like Predacons and Terrorcons were made for this line

 

I plan on buying most of the Cyberverse stuff if not all. I will pick and choose voyagers and deluxes.

I wonder what the Takara versions will look like or if they will continue the Arms Micron series.

 

Nothing to get too excited over here; Twinstrike is a cool Sinnertwin update (would be awesome to get all of the Terrorcons), and Predaking is pretty cool but I think the Leader version is the best. I really like Omega Supreme; hopefully it'll be affordable.

Cyberverse Bulkhead is the standout, though. Considering his colors, he can just be Prime Roadbuster. Who can say no to the fashionable Viking helmet? Plus, he's wielding the Gravity Hammer from the Halo games:

 

I say bring it on if this is the next direction for the toys and show. The brand hasn't gone off the traditional path in years.

I wonder who else has a "Jungle Upgrade" (or whatever else they'll call it)? Imagine Megatron and Optimus in this style.

 

I've never wanted an omega supreme figure more then I do now!

 

Begrudgingly going to get Soundwave for Ravage.

The rest... mreh. Legion Smokescreen looks great, and Legion Airachnid legitimately looks better than her Deluxe figure... only other one I might get is Commander Predaking. Really need to see the robot mode.

 

Nothing of interest there for me. Wallet is pleased.

 

So at the rate we are at I should be looking for PRIME R.I.D. stuff in Ross , Marshalls and TJ Maxx around February.

I will load up on Vehicons then!

 

I'm really liking the actual beasts, but I not really liking the "cars with a bunch of crap poking out of them."

What does "Year of the Snake" have to do with the Classics Platinum?

 

Wheeljack and soundwave look awesome!!

We need a DELUXE Smokescreen, though the cyberverse version looks pretty good..

 

Hopefully we see more Predacon homages:

Twinstrike - Sinnertwin
Predaking - Cybertron Scourge
Lazerback - RID Bruticus or a mishmash of Monster Pretenders.

 

Omega Supreme doesn't work for me... Slapping a G1 paint job on that figure doesnt really make it look like Omega, and i find it Odd that they remolded the head into something that actually seems less accurate than what the start with, and actually, same goes for the claw.

Not to mention that claw makes the train 1/2 of his vehicle mold even sillier than it was in the first place. nice paint apps though.

And 'dat Prime. I always said that Fatimus was the worst large-scale wide-Release Convoy mold of the modern era (and possibly ever, although PM prime is pretty terrible - Armada super pants is pretty close to the bottom as well, but at least his truck mode more or less looked like a truck and his bot mode doesn't look like he's been living on Mt. dew, Cheetos and donuts for 15 years) and slapping a new paint scheme on him does t really change that. Plus, coloring the drones too match omega rather than one pair red for his fore arms and one pair blue for his legs seems strange...

 

I don't need another E. Omega, but, man, the uniform colors make it really look nice.

 

Laserback reminds me of one of the Firecons, really.

Looks pretty definite that Omega Supreme isn't a Headmaster anymore... which is weird since completely removing that feature would require some pretty extensive retooling. I wonder if he's just got a removable, non-transforming head stuck on the body?

 

Pretty much this

 

Out of all these I think I'll just be getting sinnertwin and smokescreen.

I was really curious about the omega supreme, but the head size and re-design just doesn't make sens to me. Glad I did my custom years ago b/c I figured that hasbro just couldn't do him justice in the classics line. They've proved that with this half-attempt in my opinion.

The bulkhead/roadbuster deco is kind of cool but I just don't see the prime stuff fitting in that well with classics/generations stuff.
