Ultra Magnus? More like:
A) Ultra Magnificent
B) Ultra Cool
C) Ultra Bought
D) All of the above
That little bot looks like he has his shit together. Imma get him.

Dead End: Pretty decent. Probably will pick him up.
Airachnid: From what I'm seeing, pretty disappointing. Looks remarkably small, bland colors for body and spider legs, extra kibble behind her head, and hope for a spider mode is pretty much extinguished.

No, I'm pretty sure they flat out said at some point he was a Quickstrike homage. If not, that's what most posters have been saying at least.

am i the only one who thinks Dead End resembles a snake, especially in Vehicle Mode

Dreadwing is in Sunday's case…

Ok, 12 hours later and I have to ask – where are the pics of the other cases?!
Was there just deluxes on display after the panel? This site, Seibertron and Tformers are just showing the deluxes.
What gives?
Edit: I know mp-10 and a few others were on display. I want to know about the Prime Voyagers.

I really hope we get a Voyager release of that Prime Ultra Magnus. Airachnid looks great. Love that helicopter mode. Dead End looks kind of cool, but I don't feel like spending the money on him. The Bumblebee repaint looks surprisingly good, but I have no interest in it.

Another neon colour figure,suck

Wait, is that an Insecticon?!
WOOT

im not really going into botshots but airacnid looks cool

So that Dead End turned out looking WAY better than I thought. That pose is f'n ace. There are some excellent bot shots coming down the tube too. Not sure about Arachnid though, she looks off. Like more than just mistransformed off.

I quite like Dead End's Quickstrike colouring but seeing his head up close I'm almost convinced he's a Terrorcon.
I'd have been happier with a separate grey and then another separate black & Yellow Bumblebee though at some later stage. as a non-yellow grey one would look like the 'Urbana' then and it might have made a nice 2nd use for the Hotshot head.
A Black Bumblebee would have then matched the Legion toy.
That Kickback looks not a lot like this :

Neither does it scream Classics update.
So I suppose it's meant to be this then ?

Odd choice But if they make a Grimlock toy it gives you something to feed to him I suppose.
I prefer these little beetles that are chasing swoop though ;

Maybe they'd be better suited to a deluxe.
I wonder if a Weaponizer Grimlock is out of the question ? as it would be odd indeed if they make Grimmy and the Insecticon the same size.

Cyberverse Ultra Magnus, Deluxe Deadend and Airrachnid = bought.

Yes sad is the word – I feel sad that IDW are allowed to be a flag carrier for any franchise – they made me vexated with Gi Joe and after they helped ruined that franchise they then go and publish a bunch of comics that are so far removed from most Transformers media that they make Kissplayers look rational.
I can put up with Aaron Archers vanity project, and slighty dippy Novels and a TV show that is bordering on being dull of late. But it's not a happy feeling to have all of that at the same time and then still have a 4th Movie to look forward too.
So ignoring them is good for my health or I might actually be a hater and IDW isn't worth a raised blood pressure.
So long as they stay in their own little tiny box I can ignore them but I still feel scarred by what they did to GI Joe so I don't want to be fooled again with them.
Thinking about them actually makes me shudder Thinking about them is like being licked by Legion.
I can stay calm then and just roll my eyes when Hasbro does something stupid ; if I was a regular consumer of IDW's wears and had the Movies to deal with and the frasnkly odd behaviour of the Prime writers lately – I would just be a ball of ire.
Removing myself from the IDW sphere of influence is best for everyone – it means you don't often have to suffer my hate bombing them (unless i'm in a bad mood).
And my feeling are much as they are with regard to the Movies – as a self contained thing – those who wish to consume it can do so in happy isolation. But as soon as it starts to leak into the other parts of the franchise I can't but help notice the bad smell.
Don't read what I say like a screaming grand pad telling the kids to get off his lawn – think of it more of "Kids Today…. Tut" kind of way to look at it.
Or as the saying goes "I'm not angry; I'm disappointed" I'm not explicitly a hator i'm just very tetchy about the comics from time to time when they pass my gaze and reawaken the disillusionment & negativity in me once more; Especially since All Hail Megatron. I don't "Want" to feel like that but as long as IDW continue to make me want to knock myself out by banging me head on a desk – I may continue to feel much the same.

are the last pictures insecticon prime figure with energon cube? looks that way to me arachnid i can see to have somewhat of spidermode with only three legs or maybe someone can come up upgrade for her to have 4 legs.
&^% blasted sucks about bruticus set that peeves me off
CelticMutt
Are you even paying attention to what you write? These last two post are filled with pure hatred. That is active hate. You don't have to go around stalking comic boards to be an active hater. You just have to do what you're already doing. And boy is it sad.

dead end looks horrid.
Airrachnid…Jeeesh…I was expecting a little better, the purple blades…
Magnus looks great.
Thanks for the reports guys! great job!
