    Going by Hound's boxart, there's a possibility we'll see Cybertron Defense Hot Shot from the mold at some point:

    I'm really loving the Hound figure! I don't see anything Cybertrony about it though, since it looks more like a souped up Humvee. Whatevs though, it looks cool and is most likely replacing my Henkei Hound on the shelf.
    Again, Megatron looks alright, I'll most likely pick it up and attempt to paint it. Shockwave looks amazing, though it also looks like he got punched in the eye, lol.

    What's also been clear from the start is that all the characters that aren't do-overs (Shockwave, Flywheels, the Cityformer partners, Reflector) are intentionally receiving very little (if any) weathering compared to the other figures, because Hasbro knows that they're the most interesting to the majority of the adult fanbase. They are definitely paying a fair share of attention to us, even if we don't agree with every single one of their decisions.

    Ugh,
    Those Micromasters, why did they bother?

    (Flywheels on the other hand is exactly why they SHOULD have bothered! Yummy articulation.)

    What’s wrong with them? Far and away the most exciting part of the line for me!

    (Flywheels looks good to, but not many of these seem like an improvement over prior CHUG versions between the greebles, the messy distressed paint and the wack alt modes)

    They're actually some of the best updates I've seen. They not only have more articulation than the originals but also have new modes that offer more playability with bigger figures.

    I hope they also release the classic Micromasters with bases.

    I appreciate how solid these guys look. You can finally look at them from all angles without noticing that the back is hollowed out. Yes, these characters aren't the most exciting thing ever after all these years, but man do they look good. The step-up in quality from Power of the Primes is very welcome.

    Once we go beyond the bots that already have dozens of toys things will get really interesting with Siege.

    I mean, it’s somewhat annoying they are dipping into the 84 cast again (and ANOTHER Prime and Megatron), but we are also getting:
    22 Micromasters (all first time updates aside from the cassette team)
    Reflector (only available as a pricey convention exclusive)
    Shockwave who’s never gotten a proper update (Legend scale and crappy off-model deluxe don’t count)
    Cog, Brunt and Six Gun
    Flywheels (who’s only been touched upon as a Titanmaster head)
    Domestically released Targetmasters
    Omega Supreme!!!

    That’s a lot of fresh, and a fair amount of obscure, characters!

    On the sides of his tank component. But luckily not too much.
