    Thoughts:

    1) They did a BAD job making that color scheme look Good in robot form.

    2) They did a BAD job of making him look different enough from Airwave via his new colors.

    3) They wrote Fire Station upside down which is so bad as to be comical.

    4) I am buying it anyway cause I love making a little city and I want all the little interconnecting city guys.


    -ZacWilliam feels like a fan with a little time and photoshop could come up with a much better look for this guy.

    Maybe someone will find a way to make it look more like the original Fire Station.

    I was hoping to see G2 Megatron but if it exists they'll probably save it for last but hopefully not

    With the Fire Station logo being upsidedown I\'m suspecting the photographer didn\'t know how to make the new modes so just used the old ones.
    Similarly the \"tank\" mode I think would look better with the middle section removed so all the tread parts are close together like the OG toy.

    Glad to see they're not exclusive to the site that reveals it.

    I'm going to speculate that EE will get the known names of Ratchet and Megatron while Bbts will get the lesser known but recognizable Bugbite, and Pulse will do the obscure Roritchi.

    They were going to reveal them on Instagram though according to the original post. That's where they advertised the reveals. I didn't say it wasn't going to be on Pulse, just that the site itself beat their own social media team to the punch.

    I think their hands were tied with these colors and trying to make them look good in 2020.


    I'm thinking they'll save Ratchet for last because Ratchet.

    It's not trying to look like Houhouse, it's trying to look like Hothouse's fire station.

    Was hoping to see some new pieces for this guy like grease pit had. Hope those rough white stripes in robot mode are cleaner on the final product. Ordered. Omega needs a fire fighter

    (Not that i'm complaining, i mean that it just barely resembles hot house outside the color scheme)

    My problem is the color lay-out itself is so much like airwave's. Like, it has blue in all the same places Airwave has blue.
