    I'm actually kind of impressed that the Quintesson does something... The Alicon looks great!
    Doubledealer... *drools*
    Snapdragon *paws screen*

    Previous reveal feels:
    Arcee 50/50 on her. I'll probably buy her to send the message to Has/Tak that we do want female figures, but I personally prefer the T30 version.

    Airwave is awesome!

    Sky Lynx looks incredible.

    "Rack n' Ruin" look awful. (I know it's a different name, just can't remember it.)

    Scorponok looks incredible. He's coming home with me ASAP once he becomes available for sale.

    Megatron is an absolute pass.

    Same with Smokescreen, I'm really underwhelmed. (That said, I can absolutely understand why people are excited for him.)

    On the plus side... The Micromasters look great and are going into the collection AND they gave us a new mode for Ironworks! (I, of course, became impatient and put it together. lol)

    I can't think of a good reason why to get ER Arcee already having the outstanding T30 figure, maybe it's just another case to tell people to get an outstanding bot anyway. And soften the secondary market.

    I don't have a whole lot going out of this lot, I mean they look good, and the outlook is good they will be good or great figures. Many though are outside my area of interest. Aside from Snapdragon, Runamuck, or Skylynx I don't forsee myself chasing down as much. I'm frankly more interested in a new Sunstreaker, and whatever other iterations we will see from the Grapple mold. Or Exhaust. I'm a little surprised not a one of those has popped up, even with these long ass lead in times.

    Anyone want my two cents on the reveals? No? Ok.

    Smokescreen looks great, can't wait to replace Siege Prowl and Bluestreak.

    Decepticon aircraft carrier base guy looks kinda like a tiny evil Metroplex. I want one.

    Megatron... yikes. Kinda like some of the details on him, might pick him up and see if I can't swap some pieces with Siege to make a better one. Definitely not paying full price though.

    Gonna need more pics to say anything about Snapdragon/Allicon/Doubledealer/Quintesson/Runamuck. Not sure how I feel about the Quintesson being a base builder.

    Do you guys think they will do a Er Ratchet/Ironhide with an earth van alt mode as a remold of siege?
    I didnt think they would do such minor remolds of Siege megs and smokescreen so soon, but here we are.

    I may still get it, but I'm a little disappointed on runamok.

    This line just became so much easier to collect. I'm down to maybe three or four figures unless they give us a really good Hot Rod and Road Rage.

    Ditto here. As cool as Sky Lynx looked at first, I'm down to the Micromasters, Modulators, Ramplemasters and MAYBE Optimus.

    Could someone take a pic of ER OP holding the Roller from the Legends OP from T30?

    Given all the complaints about MP-44’s “backpack” I’m surprised nobody’s bitching about earthrise prime’s backpack...double standard much? SAD
