Rodimus Major:
Dang, I might just have to get Shockwave.
Especially if they shrunk down his electronics too.
Bryan:
I am so glad I never got into the WST, because then I would HAVE TO HAVE THESE.
But as it is, I can pass. Very cool, though.
llamatron:
ACtoys seems to be down, but I like what I'm hearing!
a person:
These guys just keep making awesome stuff!
antapp:
wonder if they will be the same size as the dinobots, or smaller to fit in with the rest of the line?

I've mirrored the image on the frontpage if there's any trouble accessing ACtoys.
Grimwing:
Those all seem like great choices. I'm sure these new wst ko's will sell very well.
Thundershot:
The folks at TFSource seemed to know what the next ones were gonna be at Botcon, but wouldn't say. Definitely interesting choices. I would have expected Predacons or Constructicons though. I'm really curious on the size... I would rather them match the Dinobots size (since I don't own any other WST figures)

Melkava:
Silhouettes isn't going to cut it for me, need to see some shots of the real thing.
ninety: 
Hopefully we'll eventually get all the '84-'86 gaps filled.

My thoughts exactly, I'd like them the same size as the original releases, but I'll get them either way.
Rijie78:
Thought they did a good job with the WST "Dinorobots", both for the toys and the packaging. Definitely interested in Shockwave.
Robogeek28:
I won't be getting them but they're still great choices.
SPLIT LIP:
Man, these are tempting, but after WST Swoop I don't think I'll ever get any of their stuff again.
Optimus747:
I'll definitely get Shockwave, to complement the G1 Shockwaves I finally got (after wanting one for 16 years or so...). WSTs are cool.
Razerwire:
Hell yes! I'll open up my wallet for these!
Thundershot:
Wait, what's wrong with Swoop? My Swoop was really tight at first, but after a few transformations, he works great. Now getting some of the swords and such to fit in the others hands... that was an issue...

My Swoop has one of the pins in his leg inserted on an angle, destroying the knee. (it still holds on, barely, but it's fragile and looks like crap) He also has two right lower legs. Also has paint defects on a launcher.
Technically there's nothing wrong with his design, but the QC could be better. Sludge and others have extra loose joints but other than that, only Swoop has bad QC.
titaniumluv: Want for sure, but will we have to wait for figs that are over 9 months delayed again?

Yeah, that's another thing that sends me in the other direction.
G1Wheeljack:
YES! Must have Wheeljack & Shockwave. Any ideas if these will be available on other online retailers like TFSource or BBTS?
Red leader:
Nice, nice and NICE!
Takara_destron:
Shockwave? Sweet!
Joe1:
gonna have to pick these mo-fos up.
planetjacker:
Definately want Shockwave and Wheeljack. I look forward to seeing the final product. I was happy with the job they did on the dinobots.
Locustreign:
Awesome! As long as they're here before December 2115 I'm in!
Railguard:
Pass. Unless its the new Universe stuff, I have to pass.
puppylove:
awesome!! can't wait to see!
The Asp:
That sounds great, but not all that surprising.
Now if they made a g1 Arcee, Super Megatron, or Fort Max and a Scorponok that were in scale with each other...
Kickback:
WST Insecticons or bust.
Locustreign: Quote:

This please!
edit: also in scale with the WST of course. So a bit bigger than the normal Fort Max

*well not really large in this case, but still... Megatronwp38:
nice, ill get them when the come out this time though.
BustaJesse:
Nice, I've only got a Justitoys WST Grimlock and I like him a lot. I wonder if Blaster will come with any cassettes?
omega ranger:
I love WST's, considering its probably the only G1 toys I'm ever going to get. Shockwave is awesome. I need him to fight my Dinobots.

I wonder if they will improve the articulation in his shoulders?
Perhaps they'll use ball & socket joints?
Maybe Blaster will come with a cassette or two?
Hopefully Steeljaw.
Aren't these technically knockoff's?
And didn't Hasbro recently say they will put a stop to the sale and or production of KO's, or something similar? Kingplay:
WST full of win!
Tekkaman Blade:
I hope they are smaller to go with the rest of the line and cheaper.
crasis:
Shockwave is an immediate buy. Blaster would look good on my Soundwave/Blaster/tapes shelf. The only one I may pass on is Wheeljack. But I'm still very excited for these! I haven't even gotten around to buying the Dinobots yet...are they really worth it?
SmokescreenGT:
I don't own any WSTs, but that may change with Shockwave. He's always been one of my favorites.
acave720:
To bad those aren't full size.
Torque:
hmm, what is WST? but kool info anyways, evel if i dont know what it means
keebs:
Lucky Draw:Maybe they'll do a repaint like Twincast for Blaster and/or Diaclone versions so they can do Marlboro Wheeljack.

Worlds smallest. They're uber tiny. (and uber-adorable!)

Yes, these are made without Hasbro's authorisation so technically they fall under the same category of "illegal copy".
However these do not copy any existing Transformers product - they essentially remake it at a smaller scale. They also do not claim anywhere to ever be official Transformers products, nor do they use the names - the name the company gives to them is stuff like "Dinorobot Flamethrower".
Unlike the KOs which copy the boxes and original products down to the smallest details, these are a lot more careful.
I am merely stating case here. I am not making a statement one way or another about the legality of these toys. Now please let us keep this on topic of the cool new little toys and not let it turn into a discussion of the legalities of the things. Thanks! Tekkaman Blade:
I'm hoping they do blitzwing and astrotrain next.

WST Triple Changers = more win than one can put into such a small package.
On a serious note though, while it'd be cool as hell, can you imagine the amount of engineering that you'd need to put into one? Ouch.
