    The Autobots look meh, Crowbar looks like a retool of Berserker (which is expected and not unwelcome) and Starscream looks pretty good, I'm seeing a lot of similarities to the DOTM Deluxe, which was a great representation of the guy. Glad to see he's got his weapons, too!

    It's not, though. The wheel is attached to the fender, which is attached via a hinge to a grey protrusion extending from the thigh. Its not oriented to even allow a front-back swivel; if unfolded it would swing the wheel assembly down to his knee.

    They all look pretty mediocre except for Starscream, to be honest.

    Yep. Crowbar is a retool of Berserker. I wonder how those hairs will fit into the car. Also, I hope this Optimus comes with a matrix, I\'ll be sold on this guy if he does. Ratchet looks decent and he\'s gonna have to do as my Movie Ratchet. Starscream looks like an oversized DoTM deluxe. Now, all I need are Jazz and Ironhide pics.

    to be honest, Hasbro could just release official pics of these guys at this point and reveal wave 2/3 at NYTF imo...

    Alright, so that Optimus has me intrigued. It's not better than the BB Voyager, but it doesn't look too bad. What's happening with his chest there?

    Just putting this out there folks, that these are most likely mis-transformed. They almost always are when they're first revealed. We don't get to see the official transformations til either someone in China who knows what they're doing gets their hands on one or if Hasbro reveals the CGI renderings that they've been using.

    Starscream's legs are wrong, Optimus' torso looks like it should fold away more, and Ratchet's legs at the very least look mistransformed. Crowbar is too dark to see.

    My thoughts exactly. Blackout and Brawl, who both sorely needed an update. At least we're getting a few decent cons out of this line. Lord knows I didn't need another Optimus, although Ratchet badly needs an update.
    You're just realizing this? This has been an issue since at least 2007 when the "premium" figures came out several months after the regular ones. Same figure but better. There will ALWAYS be better figures made, but if you think that hard about it you'll never get another toy because maybe in 2057 they'll come out with a better Optimus or whatever. Also, dunno what me being Jewish has to do with this ;)

    I'm guessing that these are what will be showcased at NYTF. But yeah, the cat is clearly out of the bag now.

    They all look a little boring to me. I was afraid that this new movie line was going to pull me back in. Seams i was worried for nothing.

    I hope Prime\'s chest looks so awful only because it\'s open to reveal some sort of Matrix gimmick, or mistransformed. The legs have me really worried, though.

    Btw Grimlock has to be there somewhere because he was present at the same event and we got a cropped image of him before so he's probably next with Stinger to be fully (even though blurry) revealed.
