    Hasbro won't do a Decepticon because they believe children don't buy 'villain' toys. Deal with that.

    You're quite mistaken, mister EagleTron... I want a Decepticon Titan as much as you do. I merely assume Hasbro is reluctant in doing so following recent toylines.

    Almost every TF lines has us seeing Decepticons/Destrons so I really don't know where you're basing your thoughts on...

    Those bobblehead TF's are about the dumbest things I've seen!
    All of RID is STILL a big pass for me.

    and... Is it just me, or are Transformers getting crazy hollow in general since the thrilling 30 line? (Ultra Mag seems to have the same amount of plastic as a deluxe.)
    The Powermaster Prime is just a crazy Ultra hollow, Ultra disappointing UltraMagnus remold. (Same hollow guns, same super-cheap wheels and I'm sure from the back the figure is pretty terrible. Same as Ultra Mag.)

    OK, the good! :) 

    I'm Supper happy to see the FortMax. I hope it's an extensive enough re-tool to make him distinct from Metroplex. I need more pics on that guy!

    I'm happy to see Shockwave. Is he small? yeah, but now he's a good weapon for combiners. It does look like a really handsome mold :) 

    There is a good chance I'll grab the Blaster (even though the cassette's/Smartphones look pretty terrible)

    Still, The biggest thing for me this coming year I think is gonna be SkyLynx! (he looks super promising) Whoot!

    :peoples: 

    :wtf:  :throw 

    Seriously, if that's the case why are they asking for a vote between 2 Decepticons? Deal with that... and go back to trolling a bridge rather than TFW.

    What he said. :bay  :trolls:

    It's not just you, I have observed this to. I actually weighed some of my leader class figures, and UM weighs almost 25% less than a 2011 leader figure. And, what's more, they're making the hollowing more and more prominent. On UM, I thought they got it better by having the hollow area on the thighs face rearwards, but nope, on PM Prime they had to put it on the inside, where it is blatantly on display. I don't understand it, and I don't like it. I haven't lost interest in Transformers, except for the part that the quality is going down, and I don't want to give hasbro money if they keep doing that. I don't know for sure, but it seems as if the brand is being run by somebody who doesn't understand what makes Transformers great, or even work.

    That aside, looking at the figures, I am still quite ambivalent to RID2015 as a whole, as I feel it manages to come of even worse in terms of quality. But, at least they finally made some Deployers figures that actually look good in alt mode.

    Aside from Blast Off, the Combaticons look great. So, the Unite Warriors version will be even better, and might have a new Blast Off. I'm waiting for the reveal of that before I make a decision.

    I'm eagerly awaiting pictures of the actual figure, but if the art is any indication, Fortress Maximus is probably going to be great.

    And last, and certainly least, Optimus Prime. I'm a bit tired of all the remolding, and what is up with this figure? I feel like it's even more hollow and empty than the base mold, and they somehow manage to keep all of UM's flaws, and add a bunch of new ones. The cost cutting is getting out of control, and this figure is just a symptom. I just feel there shouldn't be any reason for this to happen, but I simply don't know enough to say for sure. YMMV, but I find this figure to not be worth my money. As a bonus, other than a half arsed base mode that looked like it was thought up in 2 minutes, in spite of homaging Powermaster Optimus Prime, it share none of the features that made that figure interesting. No detachable cab, no cab robot, not even a good vehicle mode.

    Urm, wrong.

    They have said that Deceptions generally sell less than Autobots, but by no means does that mean they think kids don't buy villain toys.

    Yeh sure you never really see Decepticon centric waves (which is why i think us in the UK didn't get CW wave 2) but it's not as if it doesn't happen, we still got CW Leader wave 1, (Megs and Armada Megs)

    Where you got that notion from is beyond me, if Hasbro thought this we would never have Decepticon figures, if anything the cons are gaining more popularity.

    I'm actually curious to see if Hasbro will release a figure to make the Apex Armor. Looks like some of the box art alludes to that.

    Europe (not just "the UK") didn't get Combiner Wars wave 2 at least in part because retailers over here stocked wave 1 in such large quantities that you can still find wave 1 figures warming shelves at some stores to this very day.

    Haha! Really creative! Love the Magnus Turret idea for Minimus! I was about to post my image as well after getting back home. Wanted to try the base mode on my Magnus as well!

    [​IMG]

    Tada!

    Anyway I like the look of PMOP. We'll see how he turns out after release :D
