    Given these aren't final, they look promising enough. Especially since all these figures are likely to be really small deluxes. (At least I hope they are for the sake of scale).

    Exactly, Protoman was spot on when he talked about how 90’s nostalgia is going to start flourishing soon, those kids are now in positions of power just starting out and will soon flip it back to their nostalgia. Don’t doubt the power or RAD and EXTREME

    Thanks for whoever finally decided to not keep the leaked pics to himself but share it with all us fans. ;) 

    Cheetor looks amazing. Finally a proper colored cheetah alt mode (I like the Universe toy, hunchback aside, but wish the belly was white like on real cheetahs). Seems he transforms similarly to that one, with the rear feet's thighs sliding down to form the calves, but the back of the cheetah become the arms - not sure where the front legs go. Love the articulation, even the paws have joints. Also seems long and large, at least compared to Warpath (who I assume will be a large deluxe, being a tank). And no fake cheetah head, like the MP (which might be a nice toy, but I am not buying toys with fake animal heads)

    Warpath is rather large and bulky, for a Deluxe. More G1 accurate for sure than the Generations toy with the rounded turret. Seems he transforms very similar to the old one though, with the tank treads folding in to make the feet and arms.

    Blackarachnia is effin' amazing. Just as show-accurate as the MP, but likely with a much better spider mode. Has some abdomen-backpack but the waist and body is slim and nice. Even the spider legs have ball joints in the middle! Headsculpt is amazing. Just makes me ever more glad for not wasting 200$ or how much on the MP that had maybe better articulation, but not much else. Hasbro once again shows they can do better than Takara when not restrained by cartoon accuracy requirements.
    EDIT: just noticed the spider head poking out from her "panties", LOL. So similar to the show model's transformation, and a bit like the Animated toy, her torso will flip out to form the spider's cephalothorax, except she has an extra panties part for the robot mode. I am guessing the robot feet fold under the backpack-abdomen and the robot arms become the front "claws" that well, real spiders do not really have (guess we can call them pedipalps) - but I think she had them on the show and original toy too. (Fun zoology fact btw - all arachnids, including scorpions, have just 4 sets of legs, but the pincers of scorpions which seem to be their 5th set of legs, are actually modified pedipalps). I think I see some horizontal lines on the claws, so maybe their lower halves can be rotated backwards?

    We're going to reach a point where the "nostalgia" loops back on itself and the kids are nostalgic for stuff that was a callback to the nostalgia of their parents.

    Like, after Animated and Prime we're not going to really have "new" designs to be nostalgic about.

    I'm confused. You mean there was a comment on 4chan or wherever these were posted that said there was a "toy accurate" BA head already produced? If so, great, but I hope there is a "toy accurate" chest floating out there too, because a Tarantulas with boobs would be almost as tragic as no Tarantulas at all.

    So it turns out as I was about to post this, said Tweet got deleted, so I won't name the account, accuse me of faking if you wish. Some people might've seen it though given the like count.

    I mean, it's possible...but his two weapons on the show were his gut gun and his tail gun which were both based on the toy's accessories.

    If anything, having his Transmetal tail whip is probably a huuuuuge hint that this dude is going to get retooled in to TM Cheetor sooner than later. Which should calm down the people who think Kingdom is the only time we'll see BW stuff.

    Blackarachnia looks great.
    Although she should shave her armpits.

    I mean, they know that risk when they leak....so kudos to whoever they initially trusted with those pics for burning them. Hope it was worth the 15 mins and a complete loss of trust between you and your source.

    Oh god the smell....

    And that source will never be a source again, one way or the other.

    Can someone explain to me why the first Cheetah mode pic looks great, but the second one with a whole bunch of them has big ugly grey "Zoid-like" thing on its shoulder? Are they the same toy?
    I really hope those grey things arent on the final figure. It ruins the look.

    I guess so.
    Maybe if they painted that black middle part to match the rest of her arms.
