    Yeah, that would be pretty cool, too. Hopefully they do a repaint that has it. Maybe one with his TFA color scheme.

    I agree. People always jump the gun on that stuff. To be fair though, Hasbro's advertisement/marketing team in charge of the toys should take the time to properly transform them and pose them to create a more appealing image.

    Drift looks better here so Im getting the Takara version, him and Lockdown. :thumbs2: 

    Hound and Galvatron look pretty nice in the Hasbro versions so Ill pick them up hear in the states. I am a bit hesitant to get Galvatron because I really REALLY want a leader class toy of him!!!

    Lockdown looks pretty decent in these pics.

    Kinda want to get him and Hound, but after selling off all my movie figures, I need to remind myself not to slip back down that hole. I'll just regret it later when the characters turn out to be an embarrassment.

    The real kibble on Lockdown sells it for me. Hope it's tall and spindly too.

    I'm so glad I didn't purchase Galvatron yesterday. The Takara offering is a lot better in my eyes.

    Hopefully these aren't the final versions of the figures. Because I was quite sure that Hound would have camo. I am hoping there will be some better looking figures later on.

    turns out that Galvatron had more signifcant paint job than Hound, even though Galvatron's is minimal.

    I am on the fence on Drift...

    Why the hell are AD18 and AD19 such a big freaking secret? They're scheduled for release in 10 more days. Are they just not going to tell us who they are, and let it be a surprise when we open our pre-order packages?

    Aren't they most likely Slog, Snarl, Stinger/the new Bumblebee, or Voyager Drift?

    From what we've seen so far, they should be stinger and the rally car.

    TakTom made Galvatron looks good. Great effort.

    AD28 and AD29 are Slog and Snarl
    AD27 is New Bee
    AD30 is Drift Helicopter


    We still have no news on who AD18 and AD19 are.

    Lockdown looks good overall, but the paint on his face is weird. Grimlock looks better than the Hasbro version, but still not doing it for me.

    I'm so happy the deluxe lockdown was mistransformed in the leaked picture we saw earlier, made for this lockdown reveal much more impressive.

    Seriously, is it too much to ask for a BLACK and blue Drift? Either Drift is black or is the darkest shade of blue of all time. Either way, neither the Hasbro or Takara versions are even close. That Lockdown looks legit though.
