    Berserker and Opitmus look cool. As someone who really liked DOTM Crankcase, Berserker looks like an improvement in nearly every capacity. More Predator, less warrior troll. So weird we're getting the AOE Bumblebee mould from Takara when we know there's a far more fantastic deluxe coming that's movie accurate.

    I guess if you really like the design and missed out the first time?

    Nobody's raging, mate. It just doesn't make sense from pretty much any perspective to buy what is patently a worse looking version of a toy that you could get a better looking version of just as easily.

    Believe me, I'll be the first person to enjoy a toy for a toy, but even as a kid you have to know that the original AoE version looks way cooler than this one.

    Don't worry 'bout it, your opinion's fine, so long as you don't force it on others or combat others on their "wrong" opinion.

    Just a guess, buddy. I'd look to how long it usually takes for MPs to get previews after their reveals for a rough estimate.

    Yeah, I don't get it either. Why bother redecoing the old mold to pretend it looks like the updated Camaro when you're making a new mold anyway? So there can be a Bumble in wave 1? Why not just release the new one in a later wave and fill up the other spot with one of the Dinobot redecos or at least a cheap redeco that we'd at least actually like? I know I'd want to see Drift in his IDW colors or at least his RID1X colors.

    I agree about Berserker. I'm surprised we'd get a new mold based on someone who didn't have that much of a significant role two movies ago, (though id love for berserker-kun to get a spotlight for a moment) but I'm glad we can finally get a screen-accurate Crankcase (or at least his model reuse) that isn't based off the concept art.

    I think the old mold, with its vestigial arms and stumpish legs - and a new generic Dread-style head - would make for a good Dread troopbuilder lackey.

    I know you're right and all, but ya can't deny that sometimes we can get real immature on the boards. Especially when opinions are involved. Friggin' textbook definition of flamebait they are, damn opinions.

    Y'see, that's why I'm sure Hasbro did it. The new Bee wasn't quite far enough along to make it to wave one, but Takara doesn't have the rock solid deadlines Hasbro does. They can basically release their stuff whenever, so I don't see why they're using this old mould and not even painting it nice when it'd be more in TT's character to at least wait for the "right" one.

    I actually really want a Beast Wars movie.

    That's exactly the same thought that was running through my head when I wrote that, I just don't think there has to be a Bumble in wave one, I mean, I know why they do it, I'd just rather we don't get the cheap redeco - which is most likely to be skipped over by everyone who knows we're getting a better one later on - in the wave stores always overorder. Having a potential shelfwarmer in the first wave is a recipe for disaster for the later waves. I wouldn't be surprised if a wave gets skipped due to toys not moving off the pegs at all. Happened before.

    But you have a point about Takara arbitrarily not skipping this toy in their TLK line. Given the higher standards for toys there, I'd bet this guy is gonna sell even more poorly than it could in the US. I would've at least hoped that they'd give Bumble a good paintjob.

    I'm leaning towards grabbing V-OP again, especially with his backpack properly collapsed.

    HFTD deluxe, 2007 movie deluxe, Even the bulk of the ROTF and DOTM Deluxes were ALL better designed than this. Paint gots nothing to do with it. That kibble is WHY it's the worst of the lot. And they want me to pay 15$ for that hollow thing? No thanks. We've had better in the past and this kind of downgrading is the reason why I've stopped buying Hasblow's shit.

    I'm fine with a focus on movie toys as long as everything Generations that's scheduled to come out comes out.

    The main complaint that I and many others have with movie toy years is that Hasbro keeps foolishly thinking they can schedule both movie and Generations and toy stores will carry everything...

    You’re right of course; I'm just being overly dramatic because the movie line stopped the Legends line just when they would've started with Wave 3 of TR which has a lot of cool figures in it.

    Movie fans of course get their toys much less frequently, so I'm okay if they’re the ones having fun now :)
