...That’s it? Huh. I was hoping that the blue parts on the robot mode would be replaced. At least Greasepit looked more visually distinct compared to Ironworks. Pass.

 

Hopefully there is a nice way to square this thing up. Would rather have it looking like its G1 form, and none of these stations are going into bot mode in my display. While I like the idea of it, the bot modes don't do it for me.

Still ordered it.

 

Hoping this is a case like Rotorstorm and there's new pieces that weren't ready for the photoshoot.

Still like the look of it. Was able to get a preorder through agesthreeandup.ca

 

Hope so, too. Other than that, those white lines on the upper chest have me thinking 'Have the kids been messing with my Gundam markers again?.'  .

 

Disappointed that it's just Airwave with red instead of grey. They really should have tried to make the color layout more different.

 

Why? The firehouse never turned into a robot, so it's not like there was an existing design to base it on. Sure, they could have included some new accessories like Greasepit, but giving him a new head would be a waste of budget and is the least sensible thing they could have done.

 

Hot House is OK but not must have. I definitely agree something is up with Pulse already being sold out on pre-orders (I was away from home when he went up). I might pick him up if he comes back to Pulse before my free premium runs out, but he isn't worth more than that and will probably be on their ebay page at a discount with free shipping in a years time. I just hope they don't pull this BS with Ratchet.

Hasbro Pulse always seem to limit their stock as a preview to create a frenzy so you rabidly impulse buy and/or go their fan channels/Hasbro re-sellers to buy.

 

I don't mind the head (I get a kick out of this guy hanging out with the likes of Inferno), but he really does need fire fighter accessories to complete the look (IMO), in much the same way Greasepit got petrol station ones..

 

Certainly sounds like something those bastards would do lmao

 

As promised, Hasbro has uploaded an "unboxing" of HotHouse on Facebook.

I was thinking the Combiner Wars Powerglide from the G2 Aerialbots set but this does look good.

 

Why does a firehouse have a landing strip?

 

I ordered while in a meeting. My poor customers, I should tell them how much I appreciate their contributions to my addiction!

 

are they gonna pad out the next 2 months with selects reveals? ´Cause I'm getting a bit tired of them

 

8/11 through 9/8 isn't even a full month

 

So many people shitting on this dude and yet I go to pulse to order him and he’s sold out hours after he’s posted. Luckily there’s other places to preorder

 

I was thinking the same.

Odd however that the original Hot House came with a plane. :/

Would've loved to see more "firehouse" vibes from this release.

 

Lenny just runs through the standard Airwave alts?

Looks like I'm gonna have to wait until I get an Airwave in-hand for Tank Mode Experimentation!
It's pretty obvious you can at least make a long gun for that carrier mode!

 

Is there a mode where the fire station text is correct???
