Blackout, megatron, and grimlock all look fantastic. I’m surprisingly very impressed.

Optimus's chest looks awful but the rest of him looks so good.
Also Starscream looks a lot like the DOTM deluxe so it seems like they took that mold as a base design and worked from there. I love that mold though and I see wrists so if they gave this one better shoulder joints then it's perfect

 

Optimus's chest looks like it transforms like the TFP First Edition voyager.

 

Grimlock,Megatron and Brawl are movie masterpice level design.

 

It's amazing how a set of photos can sway an opinion. It's still not the best movie Optimus, but I'll end up buying it now, after looking at these images.

 

I noticed something strange with this line up so we knew it was going to go

Bumblebee - at the time Stryker 2
Stinger
Crowbar
Ratchet
Optimus
Starscream
Blackout
Grimlock
Jazz
Lockdown
Stryker 2 - repack
Stinger - repack
Megatron
Brawl

Now if you toss the repacked and put together the numbers that corresponding to the figures. we are missing number 11 presumed to be a deluxe figure but that's not what the leak says. And the other codenamed figures seemed to be placed in wave 3

01 - Bumblebee
02 - Stinger
03 - CrowBar
04 - Ratchet
05 - Optimus
06 - Starscream
07 - Grimlock
08 - Blackout
09 -
10 - Jazz
11 - Lockdown
12 - Brawl
13 - Megatron

After yesterday I'm pretty sure lockdown is number 11 but I'm not positive either way 9 or 11 are blank and that's not what the leak suggested.

 

Pictures linked in the first post are on Facebook... some people don't use that platform y'know.

 

Idk about brawl, his arms look pretty bad..... I would say blackout looks more masterpiece level than him..

 

just send message for my friends. a small supply of the first wave of Deluxe figures has been made available for purchase on HasbroToyShop.com

 

Alternately Wei Jang can stop stealing Hasbro's molds and make their own stuff.

 

I believe that spot is for the TRU Exclusive Thundercracker – TF5 Nitro Zeus Retool/Repaint.

 

It would make sense but aren't exclusives outside regular line and not part of the main set so I just don't know not saying your wrong I'm just wondering if it is for thundercracker that's fine the numbers made me think deluxe class but I'm probably wrong.

 

Blackout looks fantastic.

The Optimus looks to be a bit of a retool
of Evasion Mode Op...?

 

Sure as hell not missing any of these.  

 

So Hasbro's website lied when they said that Ratchet is 4.5" like Bumblebee. As I hoped he is a tall deluxe.

 

Would you look at that, Optimus had both wheels on his thighs. I never noticed. I can deal with the red on the thighs if I can do something about that backpack. Articulation and sculpting wise he's looks darn good. Plus BB Optimus is expensive.

 

No. He just has a similarly accurate headsculpt and the feet fold up rather similarly. I'm convinced much of this line used other figures for reference.

On a related side note is he bringing back the trimmed smokestacks?

 

This line looks fantastic. I hope they approach more figures like bonecrusher and the constructions. Some of tlk characters like onslaught and dreadbot would be great as well. Loving it!
