wow, these are just awesome
Laser_Optimus
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what he meant too. That it was just going to be a straight up re-release. But, yeah, I hope everyone has learned not to pay any attention to what this guy says in the future… and, yeah, the Mirage size debate was laughable…
cheetorBWORG
Yeah, Beast Machines was part of the Beast Wars, and it seems Cheetor's legs comes from his BM form. Definately looks good. WILL look good beside my 10th Anniversary Cheetor. xD

I like both modes. The beast mode is good because, as has been said, it's a much better body shape for a cheetah. I dig the bot mode because I see it as his original BW features on his BM build. And I'll take any BM nods I can get.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure he was saying it would be the original deco, though.

Phew. I'm kinda late to the party, but I wanted to repeat what everyone said.
– Robot Heroes: all great. My only minor nitpick is that I wanted Sharkticon in beast mode with a big grin.
– TFA Shockwave, Swindle, Blurr: TFA toys keep up with their 95% accurate toys, and I can't wait to get these three.
– Cyclonus and Hound: a couple of fantastic homages. Would be my favorites of the bunch, but they're competing with Inferno and I'm biased.
– Bruticus: totally out of the left field. The deco somehow works. I passed on Cryo Scourge, but I think I want to get this one. It's not every day that RiD Bruticus gets some love.
– Inferno: a worthy update to my very first Transformer. Can't wait. Probably the one I'm more excited about.
– Vector Prime: wasn't interested originally. I already have that mold 4 times (Galaxy Force, 2-Pack, U.S. Galaxy Force VP and Alpha Trion), so why a fifth? But then I saw the link to the Last Autobot. Damn. Now I want it. Preordered.
– Legends Brawn, Beachcomber and BB: amazing. Love the Legends, and these three are among the better Legends yet.
2 weeks ago I received from BBTS wave 2 of TFA Deluxes and wave 2&3 of TFA Voyagers. Then last week I went to Miami, and got the Leaders, Marvel TF and the Universe Classics Ultras and Voyagers. I was happy to think that I was catching up. It's cool to see that I'm still way behind.
So you still like him? I wanted to know what you thought of Cheetor now that "better" pics have surfaced.
I've changed my mind slightly on him: love the beast mode, still hate the bot mode. And it's not due to the mistransformation.
I'm currently guessing that it's physically impossible to do a BW Cheetor that looks like Cheetor CGI model's build in bot mode, but like a real cheeta in beast mode.
Still, since I like the beast mode, and I also like to collect all the new molds, I'm getting it. Hopefully I learn to like the bot mode once I have it.
Well, the Starscream is the Classics V.1 one. With a new deco.
I at the other guesses though. In particular I'm reminded of Energon Mirage's size discussion in that thread.

Cyclonus, Shockwave and Hound are also sold out now.
Good thing I saw this thread in time. I managed to get all of the ones I want: Cyclonus, Hound, Shockwave, Skywarp (yay for BBTS two-packs!) and Blurr.
Obvious Prime
Oh sweet.
Inferno, Cyclonus, and Hound = Preordered
MagnusPrimal
As is Inferno.
Slag!
Michael Dracon
And in true BBTS fashion Blurr is already sold out
I recommend anyone who wants to get any of the new TFs at BBTS to get it NOW before they're sold out. At BBTS it's highly unlikely you'll get another chance (for instance, Swoop is still sold out since the initial pre-order was listed on BBTS).
Michael Dracon
Also available as pre-order are:
Animated Skywarp
Animated Shockwave
Animated Shadow Blade Megatron
Robogeek28
Don't forget Vector Prime and Inferno.
Trailbreaker77
All of these figures are up for pre-order NOW at BBTS.
Animated, Universe due in NOVEMBER!
Animated Blurr
Blazing Lockdown
Swindle
Cyclonus
Hound
Cheetor
Ravenxl7
Technically yes, but it's not a proper update, imo. The whole combining gimmick ruined it, and a good amount of the rest of the line.
Velcrohead
In your opinion.
In my opinion, it's one of my favorites.
General Tekno
I like Hot Rod as well, myself. Only thing I don't like is that mine has a loose pin which keeps me from fiddling with it as much as I'd like.
And Wheeljack did get an update in Energon, didn't he? (As Downshift, but hey. It's an update)
artiepants
it's not fantastic, but it's far from the worst (Hot Rod is kinda terrible IMO ~ he looks decent but his design is seriously flawed). If the wings could rotate back a bit (so that the shoulders were unencumbered) it'd be a pretty damn fantastic…
Wheeljack is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overdue for a proper update (him and Ironhide i think were the two longest overdue for true updates). i seriously think you could cleverly due a Sideswipe/Sunstreaker type alternate transformation and due Tracks and Wheeljack from one mold: they both have wings and car-roof chests ~ just have the waists invert so they have different legs, Wheeljacks feet become Track's heelspurs and vice-versa…
General Tekno
I guess that's a matter of opinion – I like the mold myself.
Trailbreaker77
Getting Inferno, Hound, Cyclonus, & Brawn. The rest are not my cup of tea.
Thundershot
And once they eventually do a Classics Wheeljack, SOMEONE has to do Slicer… Hasbro, the club… someone…
I wanna see Takara do Marlboor, Wheeljack's chain-smoking evil brother
Chaosbringer
thought about that too yesterday has i saw the pics of their on the Generations book, all those alt mode parts molded in them, would love to see them transformable and with real proportions
