    I still am pretty hyped for them, however I’m definitely going to see some reviews before I purchase them maybe a better pose might help them?

    You should put all the pics on the first post.

    OK designs but I doubt I'd get any of these....they just aren't Transformers.

    These are transforming figures, but they aren't Transformers. Brand means something to most people. Transformers have established characters from media that help you identify who they are and thus enable emotional attachments to. These are figures with no backstory. It's not gatekeeping, it's just the truth.

    These guys would do well to repaint/re-mold their figures into TF characters.
    I'd buy that tank guy if it was Brawl or Bludgeon.

    That would be lame and kill the originality of the figs, if I wanted a brawn or a bludgeon I would just buy one of the many 3p offerings of either of those

    It's not taking anything from the people who want these characters....it's having extra revenue from the use of existing molds.
    I have multiple Brawls/Bludgeons but if it's a fresh take on characters I like then I'll buy.
