    I really want a jetfire that'll combine with him. Makes sense since he's labeled ROTF and not TFTM. However the port on the roof might just be for weapon storage :(

    Not gonna lie, these guys aren’t doing it for me the way I hoped they would...though that could be due to some real life drama that’s my own dang fault...we’ll see how I feel tomorrow.

    I've been where you are and know how it feels everything will right itself eventually just hang in there.

    I really want to get Lockdown and paint him up. I feel like once the sculpted detail is highlighted he'll look much better. (the sculpt is excellent as is) I love how he nails the proportions and alt mode, and finally has his damn sword! Thing is, while Peru Kill is great, I haven't touched it in months. Because it just doesn't look like Lockdown, and it's purely down to the proportions and face. This however is Lockdown. It could only be better if it had a smaller backpack and the doors weren't on the arms.

    new lockdown's proportions are just as off as peru kill, though. his limbs are way bulkier, peru kill just had short arms. i don't get the face either, they look identical to me.

    neither of them is the old toy though, so that's good.

    Short arms, long legs, wide torso, tiny head, no collar.

    Peru Kill was all over the place. This is way closer to the CGI model. Again the biggest, and obvious, difference is the kibble. And as for alt modes, there's no question Studio Series wins out. Though clearly they had access to an actual render of the real car, but I never want to transform PK because of how bad the alt mode looks.

    They're not. Like, at all. Peru Kill's face is way too large. The Studio version is spot-on. (especially the in-hand samples)

    This is true.

    Plus, Peru Kill's thigh legs are incredibly short compared to the lower legs.
    The super high knee pivot point just ruins a pose when trying a knee bend any further than 30 degrees.

    Also: the studio series doesn't come with an unnecessary and bad-looking steeljaw.

    Have you ever wondered what is would be like if those leaked pictures were never leaked in the first place? There was no leaks of both this and Power of the Primes line up, there were no leaks of wave 2 Brawl or Megatron, there was never a Leader Class Blackout thread. What would it have been like if we only found out about this line at Toy Fair only.

    This bothers me so much you wouldn't believe.

    It basically nullifies any leg posability. Since no pose but straight looks natural, he might as well not have knees.

    While it would've been amazing, I kinda like that the leak happened the way it did. The old dates on it and people swearing up and down that it was fake, it reminded me of old TF07-era leaks and fuzzy pics.

    I suddenly want Grimlock just so I can have my TLK voyager ride him. That would look so awesome on my shelf.

    Then I would be losing my mind when these were revealed :D

    Man, I was not prepared for just how small these Deluxes were going to be! I got in the mail today Crowbar, Bumblebee, and Stinger.

    Crowbar is fine (and I was expecting him to be about the same size as Berserker), but wow are Bumblebee and Stinger tiny! The new Bumblebee is a pretty garbage toy, imo, and it takes quite a lot of effort of being bad for me to say something like that. First of all, it comes across as a McDonald's toy because of the cheap-looking and cheap-feeling and thin yellow plastic with the sparse silver paint. The QC is all over the place on my figure. Loose elbows, loose knees, THE ROOF AND WINDSHIELD constantly popping off when going back to vehicle mode! Seriously, why weren't those pieces pinned instead of friction-hinged? Not to mention the arm-switching gimmick for the weapon. His arm can't even bend when the gun is equipped. It just pops off at the slightest bend! It's the first BB I've owned where I can't even use his gun arm properly. Overall, its size is just so tiny in both modes. I would avoid that Bumblebee figure. I know it might seem cool and quite novel to have an updated classic movie 1 BB, but trust me, it's pretty bad.

    Which brings me to Stinger. Quite the surprise, I must say. I love the involved transformation, with just the right amount of ingenuity and complexity to make it more enjoyable than frustrating. The spiky disks are a bit in the way, too parts-formy, easily dismissable, and just plain seem unnecessary; yet it adds to his "more baddass/evil" personality that mirrors BB perfectly.

    With all that said, all their alt-modes seem spot on, yet a tiny bit too small-scale for my tastes. Stinger is a thumbs up from me, Crowbar is a must-buy if you already own Berserker from TLK (let's hope they make Hatchet), and Bumblebee is a disappointment and is easily passable.

    ehhh, baboon drill gets the torso and head right. the torso on studio just looks small and flat and too obviously fake. i'm kinda seeing what you're saying with the legs, but studio's big feet make his legs look stumpy.

    are the movie model's eyes closer than i'm thinking? i'm still not seeing what you are with the faces.

    what's wrong with the alt? i know about the headlights but is the hood smaller? that's all i can see.

    you're right about the kibble being the biggest thing throwing me off, though. they both have their issues but the general lumpiness from the wheels and kibble is throwing me off with the studio one.

    Eh, jetfire to combine with SS Optimus seems fair.

    I mean, the next year will be the 10th anniversary of ROTF. (A MPM Optimus Buster amirite)

    After over 10 years, seeing Leader Class Blackout for the first time would give me a heart attack (But I have to live to see that figure in my hands).

    It is definitely for jetfire. All these unused slots are for him, i'm sure (well, i hope).

    Oh yeah, if I only found out about these guys in the toy fair I would have shouted out of joy.
    I first viewed the toy fair pics in the morning (philippines time) while everyone in the house is still sleeping so that would have caused quite a disturbance :D

    Looking at Studio Series, I wonder if the helmet goes down.
