    Hot Rod and Scourge look fantastic. Jazz, Blur and Kup needed more money spent on them. Grimlock would look great if it wasn't for all the yellow. Also why does Grimlock transform!?

    I was lucky i got my preorders in but had to use different sites

    Target:
    Runabout & Thrust

    Hasbro Pulse:
    Studio Series Hot Rod

    Amazon:
    Studio Series Grimlock

    I'm passing on Studio Series Blurr and Kup. I like my Japanese Titans Returns Legends more.

    Some of my friends ordered Thrust and Runabout but their orders were cancelled after some minutes. Anyone else had the same issue???

    I'm glad that Thrust and Runabout aren't Redcard exclusives , It gives me a fleeting chance to pick these up in-stores and to not have to wait for online orders to restock

    Grimlock looks like he’s almost a repaint of the MP. Looks nigh on identical to me.

    I'm just going to link the wiki article.
    Fourteen Words - Wikipedia
    That's 100% the reason for the number, but after what happened with the PotP Jazz I can totally understand why people would be suspicious.

    I don't know when the pre-orders for the Target boys went up, but I managed to snag one of each at around 12:15, according to my email.

    I like the SS-86 guys ... except Blurr. He looks like a very obvious heavy retool of the TR mold that trades leg kibble for increased arm kibble, and a really bad head sculpt. Like, the Kup head is kinda questionable, but it looks way better than Blurr's. Hot Rod is the one I'm looking forward to the most, followed by surprisingly Wheelie. But then again, I've been a Wheelie fan ever since his IDW one-shot.

    I only checked the front page after the fact instead of watching the stream, so when I was skimming the pix and saw the micromasters I thought the aqua one looked familiar. And then I read he was a MASK homage and I was like YES HE IS. I'd rather have a real MASK update though ...

    Dayammmmm everything looks fucking good.

    It's like Hasbro told every KO and 3P company to hold their Beer or something. :lol

    OK, is it just me, or do some of the faces look... off. Kup and Blurr. Others look fantastic, but those two...

    Blurr is very obviously not a retool of the TR version if you take more than a passing glance. They look similar because they're adapting the same source design and thats it

    My acquisitions:

    Target:
    Thrust

    Amazon:
    Hot Rod
    Scourge

    Don't need Kup or Blurr. Grimlock I'm torn on... I don't like the yellow (prefer gold), and I want to see his actual size in comparison to the others, and another Dinobot or two, before I commit.

    I know others have mentioned it, but I love the two M.A.S.K. homages in the Micromaster set.

    The Race Track patrol being completed just makes me itch for the other Micormaster teams (and bases) to be completed we well, though. Come on, Hasbro, give me an A-10 Warthog Micromaster... you can get Tailwind and Hot House out of it, and then why not make it Sunrunner and a Powerglide or G.I. Joe Rattler homage, too? Lots of good uses!

    I dont usually preorder stuff, should I be concerned if a website says the toy will hit in March/April? Live-stream said stuff would drop in February. Would I receive them late if that is the listed release date
