Amazon preorders when?

 

They should have made him a Weaponizer.

At first I thought Megatron and Shockwave had the same Blast effect, but now I noticed they are different.

 

They still look the same to me...just tipped differently

 

Mmmmmeehh

Nice looking figure,q however i already have decent maccadam or alchamist prime.
Movie rollbar does the job and there are other choices and they have altmodes. :/

 

These look amazing

 

But Rollbar looks nothing like Alchemist?

 

I'll wait for in-hand images, but that Bumblebee looks pretty solid. I might get him and attempt a head transplant from the presumably-inferior T30 version.
Shame the WFC deluxes couldn't have blast effects too!
As evidenced by my avatar, Megatron's headsculpt is my favorite thing.

 

What are the other 4??

 

Still TBD. I'm personally hoping for a Seeker and Soundwave at least.

 

Any pre-orders up anywhere yet?

 

Well that depends how exact you want it and which collection he is going to fit in.
Missing might be the goggle eyes but the belly shape is there. I customise so the base is there. Alternatively i could use one of the movie wreckers, cant remember his name he is one of the armoured stockcars, or hound from new movie. Bit of customising and i am there. Rather than buy 8 toys for one action figure..

I could be imagining it but i atleast feel the genisis of the design of alchamist probably lies in those figures anyway.

 

Never thought I'd say this, but much more excited for these than the Earthrise offerings  

 

Wonder if those effect parts are compatible with Siege and Earthrise. 

 

You and me both, actually. No doubt the Earthrise figures will be better quality overall, plus thei're gonna be scaling much better with each other. But at the same time I'm tired as whole hell of everything being either GeeWun! or Bayformers. I'd gladly take something that looks a bit different than either and it's just a fun transformer figure.

 

Do Optimus and Shockwave have ankle joints?

I assume no waist swivel though.

 

oh ok

 

oh thats why he was half faded i was wondering why

 

Almost definitely. These guys even have the blast effect pegs on their bodies.
