    I feel bad for anyone who wanted a new Megatron without battle damage. Quintesson's loose faces have me worried it'll be a partsformer (not that I'm buying it, but I'd rather that not become a new design trend). Snapdragon looks better than expected, very excited for him.

    The Quint and Snapdragon look fantastic! I might pass on Megs, but that's just because I like the Siege one.

    Am I allowed to be annoyed that Earth Rise Megatron is pretty much a rerelease of Seige Megatron with a new turret which probably doesn\'t rotate or move vertically? I feel like I am.

    The Quintesson and Snapdragon finally get the figures they deserve.

    Megatron has a cool face... But that weapon is REALLY bad, I bet it sits on his back and looks nice there.  But why even put that sword on it?

    Cool. So Snapdragon doesn't have an underbite after all. His white plastic also looks more solid and opaque than the milky white on Apeface.

    Quintesson looks great! Megs' flat gray plastic and battle damaged legs are meh.

    I don't think those faces are loose. They merely added them to the image in such a way because they aren't visible on the figure from that angle.
    They seem to all be solidly pinned in place to allow them to flip up for alt mode.

    I still have hope the Quintesson faces are removable so you have the option to shuffle the order.

    Megatron just makes me sad. I wonder if 3rd parties are going to attempt a replacement for his "spear" or see what round 3 is doing.

    Snapdragon looks great. Either they heard our collective whinging over Apeface's weird plastic, or Snapdragon just wears it better. He's back on my list.

    The only reason I was gonna get this Megatron is because I thought he would have the silver paint job he had at Toy Fair. Now I can easily skip it. I got Netflix Megatron on the way. I consider the others mine already.

    I wonder just how close the transformation is between Siege and ER? Because ER's chest/abs I like far more but Siege does everything else better imo. A chest/torso swap would make for a great Megs methinks.

    What does the Quintesson Judge turn into? Looks like a Warp engine, or something.

    I seriously don\'t like that Megatron, especially compared to the siege one and the metallic siege Netflix meg. Maybe if they make one like the Netflix meg with the earthrise Netflix line next year.

    If you look at the jail mode pic, with the faces flipped up, you'll see that the grey backing is a unique mold for each face, and that grey piece is pinned into the rest of the structure.

    You can reorder them, just have to pop the pins first.

    The faces seem to pop off sure, but probably for some play-action feature, not to reorder them.

    The faces are also loose in the package too. Very strange, maybe just the hinges of the faces are pinned but the actual face plates can pop off?

    When we see in package photos of upcoming figures that usually means that they are about ready to be released, so hopefully, this is a good sign that the wave 2 figures should be out soon. However, I do believe that Megatron is wave 3 so he probably won't be out until the fall.
    Speaking of Megatron, there is no way that I am getting the new Earthrise one, especially since I spent a lot of time cleaning up and repainting the Siege version.

    Snapdragon is okay. He'll definitely be one of Scorponok's group. I still don't like the Quintesson's alt-mode so I'll just buy 1 instead of 3 or 4 as originally planned since it really didn't have to be a Voyager class with such a "Meh" alt-mold to begin with.

    I'm also just sticking with SIEGE Megatron but they could make a few other characters out of this ER mold (like Tarn, Straxus, Bludgeon, etc.) if they're smart this time!

    Yep! It would've been wiser to give the Quintesson a more threatening alt-mode...
    Like that Squid thing that was tearing Kup apart in the animated movie.

    This doesn't encourage me to buy Battle Masters or troop build this Quint for $30 a pop anymore.
