Sarcasm

 

Sarcasm, making jest of the same crowd you mentioned

 

So did anyone else notice Zarak was having a bad day?

-A.S.

 

I wonder if Double Dealer can fit Skar and Knok can both fit at once or if he can only fit one at a time?

 

That Megatron is not doing anything for me. Similar to the Optimus of this line it looks like the Siege figure with a bit more effort to streamline it into a more standard G1 look and I don\'t care enough about that to go for it. I\'m sticking with the Siege ones. Especially since even going for a cartoon style the 35th anniversary variants were far more fun.

 

And just when I had come to terms with skinny-legs Smokescreen...  Also, what\'s up with Scorponok being such a lazy retool of Cliffjumper?!

 

I'm just not happy with this figure. It's like Hasbro rigged the Fan Vote so they can make the easiest and cheapest figure possible.

 

What's the little cobra figure that's standing near Allicon in the show display? Does he come with anyone or is it a standalone figure?

 

Did anyone ask if Sky Lynx is capable of carrying figures or if he has a cockpit? None of the interviews I've seen have touched much on Sky Lynx features etc

 

Battlemaster Slitherfang - afaik a stand alone, although there is a rumor of a Quintesson box set

 

Awesome, thanks!

 

Can anyone see Astroscope anywhere in the exhibit diorama displays?
.

 

I really hope the 80 on Smokescreen's doors is temporary and he'll have his regular 38s on the final product. Otherwise, he looks great.

There's also so much else to love here that my wallet will be feeling the pain for a long time.

 

Yeah, the Hasbro Pulse description says he comes with Astroscope who also has a Satellite mode, its vague but sounds like a Micromaster may be included with Sky Lynx but no interview I've seen mentions this or if Sky Lynx can carry small figures

 

The weakest toy looks like Earth Mode Megatron.

I really dont like the way it looks. The head so low on his torso looks so odd.

 

Yeah, same.
I mean, I like Earthrise Optimus, I think he's probably one of the better takes on G1 Optimus, but I think that may be it for my Optimus collection.
The new Megatron isn't that exciting. The sword looks better implemented than the one in the Siege Megatron (and given how it's got that big blast shield on the front of it that's saying something), but honestly I don't care for the sword at all. I removed it from my Siege Megs and he's still fully functional, and that's enough for me.

Wake me up if we get a gun Megatron Battlemaster. Until then, I'm done.

 

Yep, that's what I was referring to, which I had guessed might be a Micromaster like Omega Supreme had.

"Comes with Astroscope figure with a satellite mode"

I notice that they had a Sky Lynx box on display, but haven't seen any clear photos of the front or any of the back, to see what Astroscope looks like.
.

 

I've seen the back of the box, didnt see any Micromaster or minicon type, just all of SL modes.

 

For the most part, this is just more confirmation of something I already knew: I am so getting most of these fucking toys man. I guess I will just point out my criticisms, and that's mostly at Arcee, which I already thought was still a nice looking figure. I think it looks nice, but ironically the CGI renders were actually better, which is unusual for my personal opinions. There are still some things it does better than the T30 version, but overall I am not sure if I will get it. Also, the backpack is arguably worse than the T30 version, which again is ironic. I also think the T30 version has a better looking vehicle mode overall.

 

Well, if the box wasn't just a rough mockup for the Toyfair display, then maybe it was originally planned to be with Skylynx but was dropped before production.
After all, it wasn't the only mistake found on the Hasbro Pulse pre-order product pages...
