    Wonder how they scale next to the old PVC figs?
     They look about an inch shorter.

    Oh my goodness! If we get a toyline of this asthetic, I'll be all over it. That's exactly what I wanted.

    Or even RiD.

    It sort of reminds me of that weird pop up book that had a kind of hybrid aesthetic.

    Basically, it's designed to milk both little kids and adult collectors?

    I don't know if that's how their marketing department reckoned it, but I could easily be convinced that's the case.

    Observations:
    - Bees Transformation is appearent
    - Optimus not so much
    - Megatron either, also... Megatron\'s tank Cannon is      not his bot modes cannon

    I like Soundwave's new vehicle mode. Make a Generations toy with that design + Deployers, and insta-buy is served.

    Op & Bee kinda have a feminine vibe about them. I'd lol if this were the new show but they were all voiced by women. :p

    Transformation? I don't see any of these would be transformable...
    It's 6 bots and 6 vehicles, and I even doubt if they're articulated tbh.

    I think they meant that they could see how it COULD transform, looking at the designs of both the robot and vehicle toys in this box. It's like how sine 3P companies just look at comic art and reverse engineer an actual toy by ripping off Guido Guidi's and Alex Milne's designs...

    These are rad! But I'm not sure why ppl are looking at Bees design like it's not already from IDW. These seem tp be IDW designs. Love em

    I'll echo the general sentiment here, the designs look very tidy.

    But... WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEIR WAISTS?

    That's some serious Pat Lee style anatomy going on there...

    G1 stylin' with a little movie thrown in... especially for Bee... but that looks good on him, better than a VW.

    Prime's got this pelvic twist & thrust thing going on... maybe he's doing crunches while he waits to transform. :D 


    In all seriousness, I'm lovin' what I'm seeing here.... continue................ give us more......
