    Wheeljack's bot mode is about ok (and only ok) for me, but those tampos on the car mode... Hilarious. I need it.

    Man, Ironworks looks like an absolute blast. I want dozens of him creating a big scene with them clipped together with Soundbarriers.

    All look great to me except Wheeljack (not a fan of the squared-off chest windshield, squared-off wings, and hollow legs).

    But I'll be getting them all regardless.

    Hoist looks fantastic. Solid robot mode.

    Cliffjumper is good but way too small for a $20 price tag. He'll be a sale purchase for me.

    Wheeljack looks alright but Hasbro really needs to stop using renders for stock images if they're just going to blatantly lie about colors. Same kinda goes for Hoist's greens but it's way less egregious than Wheeljack's awful egg whites.

    Ironworks looks fine. Not much to say there. Don't care about anything else.

    Whats up with Hoist?

    These new renders have him looking like he has a two-tone green, which looks lame as hell.

    Where is that crisp solid green color from previews!

    Overexposure and green paint verses green plastic.

    I doubt it’ll be as jarring in person.

    How ironic: Once Cliffjumper wanted to blast Megatron. Now he IS Megatron!

    So Hoist does have the silver faceplate after all.

    Im loving Ironworks more and more.

    Cliffjumper looks incredible

    Wheeljack is perfect

    Ooofff. And also it seems that the front of the car that forms his torso is molded in clear plastic.

    See? He should have died in TFtM '86. He lived long enough to become the villain.

    I was nervous about Wheeljack, but I'm good with my UW version. The transformation is basically the same but with the reprolabel "wings' he looks better in both modes. At least to me.

    Also the micromasters dont show the gun modes on the back for the product shots unlike the Takara Tomy ones.

    Soundbarrier is still my fave of the bunch

    They're fine, this is just the usual collision of expectation and reality.

    Just wondering what’s with hoist’s bottom chest scratches? I would seriously not mind a little mud splatter on his truck mode.

    I don't like Wheeljack's windshield section in car mode.

    Cliffjumper is Legends class packed in a deluxe box so Hasbro can squeeze any extra $10 off everybody. That's what you call a scumbag or dick move. Just like what they did to the leader class. But everybody here will say that missile launcher demands an extra $10 because plastic is the new gold. And there is no arguing with you guys so whatever!!! :crazy: :rolleyes2 

    The rest look good enough. None of these characters are a priority since we already have previous versions of them. At this point I only care about the G1 characters that have never been updated like Ransack, Venom, Barrage, Snapdragon, Doubledealer, Slapdash etc.

    Lol it’s funny how personal tastes work isn’t it, because I’m the exact opposite. I don’t find the overly round and long look to be charming at all, especially when it goes down below his chin and covers some of his neck like this toy.

    As soon as I saw the angular design in RID, I wanted a toy version of it, he’s got one of my favorite designs from that comic.
