    Being a fan of Animated and stylized things (as well as not already owning any Windblade figure), I'm getting that Windblade.

    It's not ideal, but I'm a TC and Acid Storm junky, so I can live with it just to add to my collection of each.

    That’s the new gimmick for all scout class toys.

    After scrolling through these pictures, I got to the Optimus "alt mode" and burst out laughing. When I showed my wife what I found so funny she said "what is the point of that".
    I really don't think parents will buy these scouts for their kids. Maybe if they have been naughty and they need punishment. Hmm......

    I know that, but the animation models and character art show that Starscream is different from the others, in quite a lot of ways, unlike in previous series. Even Slipstream doesn't get a new mould. If anything they should've based the toys on the generic seeker design and made Starscream a repaint of that. At least only one would be wrong.

    As for Beast wars, I'm pretty sure that was still in the days where Hasbro would design toys and then the animators would create models after them. It's only really been since the first movie that the toys have been modelled after the animation.

    Megatron lost an elbow for some sort of mace hand gimmick. Not terrible, but he has a cannon.
    Acid Storm's legs appear fixed, not sure yet. I flip-flop on which is worse to lose.
    Optimus... oh god.

    Windblade is the best one and she's punching around the level Iron Factory did.

    Why are people so surprised at Optimus Prime? Scout Grimlock still looks a whole lot worse.

    Squinting hard at these photos.  I hope someone in the know eventually posts a running list detailing these figures and whethere they:
    • got knees
    • fully transform
    …because that\'s when I start actually considering them.

    It's weird to see Siege going in such a modern direction while Cyberverse feels like a hybrid of dollar store toys and the worst parts of Armada. Guess they're trying to corner the fidget spinner crowd now that the trend has died...

    Ouch! That Optimus Prime looks ter-RIBle! :eek: 
    I was convinced he was mis-Transformed, but then I saw his package art with that bad "Ion-Burst" mode. :oops:

    I thought you were gonna say you had to get that Optimus Prime, cause it relates so well to Animated! :D 

    Oh Matrix!
    And I'm sure the designer started out his pitch with, "And here's a mode which Prime has Never had before!"
    And of course, the Hasbro VP & CEO just loved it.
