    Didn't even notice it. That's a bit strange.
    It's red, so he's still a good guy :p

    And did you notice Bumblebee's left hand? Very organic Alien/HR Giger-ish.

    That aside, these are definitely among the best package artwork ever.

    I'd say Orion would work as Rodimus. Just think Energon Rodimus. I'm still a little bit butthurt over the Wreckers not having their G1 colours, but I'll get over it.

    Then so is the MTMTE design. There's really not any difference between the two, other than parts being compressed down in a way the toy can't achieve. Since the toy is based off that design, it stands to reason they turn into the same thing.

    The art is not only going to be used on the box, but also on the cover of the Comic book that will be included. :p 

    The toy resembles it a little.

    But they don't. Here's Milne artwork for Trailbreaker's altmode

    [​IMG]

    It's not a rate thing for the toy to have a different altmode to the original desing. I mean this is how Guido designed Orion Pax

    [​IMG]

    And while the toy still has the same bot mode the vehicle doesn't look anythign like the concept.

    It's really depressing how Hasbro got into the trend of repainting everything, but when it comes to the molds with the most repaint potential, they don't take advantage of it. There are some of us that are willing to own 8+ characters with this mold, myself included.

    Looks like the artist for the IDW muscle-car Bumblebee went a little nuts working on his hand. :)

    We've gotten so many Thundercrackers, but why not Skywarp?
    Aside from Bot Shots and that Kreon from the Optimus set, I don't think Hasbro released a Skywarp since 2009. I pre-ordered the takara one, just in case. As far as repaints go, I'd love to see Sunstorm from this mold.
