    Wait, that\'s Crowbar not Crankcase!
    Crowbar has the long dreads, Crankcase has the stag beetle-like antlers.
    FFS Hasbro! Get your S*** straight!!!

    Megs looks like the best figure in the line

    All the rest look good too barring Clunker Bumblebee

    They literally just had to repaint TLK Berserker. This is worse than the HFTD Elita-1 situation because they have the right bloody mold already!

    Anyway, Megatron looks good. Not a fan of Jetfire's design but I guess the figure replicates it well.

    I still can't work out where the kibble under the front of WWIIBB's alt mode goes to in robot mode.

    I will probably go for Megatron. I’m not digging the new jetfire/optimus combination.

    Megatron looks great. Don't see the huge issue with his legs. Looks like a step up of dotm voyager. Jet prime combo looks pretty good all things considered. I'm in for all of these except clunker bee and powerlinx crowbar

    I'm really curious to see where Jetfire's face goes in JetPrime mode. Is it just sitting on his back like "Here I am!"?

    Even with the robot kibble sticking out on 2 of them everything but clunker bee is bought.

    Crankcase is easy enough to fix I've already ordered a spare Breserker and just need to swap out a few parts / remove the gold dreads.

    The shelf warmers of wave 1 2018 are going to be the shelfwarmers of wave 1 2019 woooooo!!

    Others look good, I can forgive the kibble, but I'm hoping that those are mistransformed and look better on video reviews.

    Yeah,Jetfire's face is a bit too weird-looking for me. That Will Vinton nightmare can stay on the shelf.

    Barricade and WWII BB will probably be among the few things I buy from this line. Unless Hasbro makes Frenzy and the Arcee triplets, I'll have all of the movie characters I want.

    PS:Your girlfriend has good taste in Decepticons. Give her a high five for me.

    Barricade's one of my top favorites from the movies, and this figure looks great, but good lord I wish Hasbro would stop using that light grey plastic.

    Megatron and Jetfire are purchased for sure, not feeling the rest of them though. Jetfire’s face is a little odd but it’s still leaps and bounds better to the ROTF leader, funny what a difference not lugging a half lb brick of lights and sounds bullshit does for you.

    I don’t mind the alt mode kibble because they’re probably not going to be in alt mode much on my shelf, but that is pretty meh, seeing Jetfire’s beard sticking out the sides. Barricade looks like he could do with some paint but he’s okay. Megs took a step backwards in my deliberation on whether or not to get him, but he still doesn’t look bad by any means. And WW2 Bee looks like an over-kibbly, but solid mould that could be used for customs like Warpath or something. Just like the initial reports, scrolling to his picture, at a glance I mistook him for Hound.

    And you know, if they had actually done the Berserker mold but with some decent paint, it probably would’ve looked okay and I miiiiight’ve gone for it to troop-build. Don’t get me wrong, it would’ve shelfwarmed just as bad as Berserker did, but a nice deco with some silver and red would’ve at least looked better than this... logic defying mess.

    Only care about WW2 Bee.
    Megatron is a big maybe.
    I never wanted him, but I might after all.
    I wanted Jetfire, but he looks awful with the giant head and the kibble.
    And I hope we'll see an AOE Bee soon.

    Don’t understand all the hate for Jetfire. He looks about as close to the cgi model as you could probably get. Maybe the face is a bit funny looking, but he had a big ole noggin and a skinny body in the film. That combined mode with Prime is what’s bothering me. I’d say it’s an improvement over the first, but the legs still look funky and the rest is only marginally better aesthetically than the old leaders. I guess it is in fact THAT hard to pull off. Giving the movie aesthetic robots their two modes plus having to combine is probably very challenging and my hats off to them for even attempting it again anyways. Megatron looks better now that we’ve gotten more pics, but it’s a little disappointing how blocky he is on the shoulders and lower legs. Again, a movie design that is hard to translate to a toy. I was never really a fan of this version, but turning a round bubbly Megatron design into a square truck has to have its downside. When I see this version, all I can think of is that scene at the end of DOTM where he is running and shooting his gun...so goofy looking.

    Not impressed with anything I see here.
    Closest is Prime with Jetfire.

    Jetfire just... yeah, no.

    I guess Megatron looks ok.

    Definetly getting megs though that ANGRY face is a bit offputting
