Really excited to get ahold of Jolt and Grindor. I already have ROTF Bee from the Buzzworthy release, but I'm tempted to get a mainline one for a stealth repaint.

 

Thrust please and thank you.

 

pls pls pls pls pls show Jolts box art!

 

Yeh but in hd 4k resolution

 

Sounds like you need your eyes checked. Those pics look just fine

 

I don't remember what it was. Bayverse characters are so rememberable.  

 

I wonder if DNA Design will make some poseable electro-whips for SS Jolt...

 

So rude! I want to know if they're ILM renders or not, leaning more towards the latter tho.

 

They might be ILM renders since the original theatrical releases for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen were in 2009 before both IMAX 3D and 4K Ultra HD technology were invented.

 

hasbro reveal your own toys before they get on shelves challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) (FAILED INSTANTLY)

 

I never said they owned their own factories, and they definitely are NOT "Entrepreneurs". You seem to be under the impression, however, that all Hasbro owns is the final product. This isn't true. Hasbro does not "rent" factories. They contract with factories to produce a product to their specifications. All samples, test shots, artist proofs, QA samples and even the molds themselves are contractually owned by the company that has hired the factory to produce their product. The factory can not just produce extras or sell product that wasn't used on their own. ALL of it belongs to Hasbro specifically to avoid things like factories selling test copies of their product. Your original statement was not "Hasbro doesn't own their factories". It was that selling shit from the factories isn't theft because all Hasbro owns is the product that gets shipped out which is just not true.

 

that box cgi is so awkward. obviously without actual front-on shots it's all on perception but he looks more like some weird aliens spinoff design lol

 

When you "contract" someone to do a job, youre "renting" their services. In the case of the molds, the factory needs the molds to perform the job contracted. So they send them. Hasbro/Takara doesnt own the raw materials or the factory. (which you seem to agree) Neither of us have a copy of that contract in hand to be stating what it does or doesnt say about test samples and extra copies. And if there are stipulations about any such thing in writing, it all boils down to an integrity issue. You cant claim whats not reported, but at the same time youre not there to make sure its reported. The cost of enforcing this in a 3rd world country could well be as much or more than opening up a factory elsewhere where labor costs alot more. The good outweighs the bad. Dont stress it.

 

I kinda like all of these, even Bee which is the only one I might NOT get (but he reminds of MPM3 just seeing him which is a good thing). That Thrust looks weird as hell though (I know we've seen him but not this clearly). Not sure how he ended up with those colors be it the film or otherwise but I like it anyway; it's kinda looks like a Decepticon Greenlight to me for some reason.

 

Others are great but they really should have fixed that stupid paintjob on rotf Bee\'s front bumper.

 

Thrust is by far the best of this group they showed.... now come on and give us Ramjet, Dirge, Skywarp and thundercracker from the Knightverse

 

Yes I did

To be fair I have trouble recognizing most faces in these movies pre-4

 

Old el Pass-o!

Another day, another Camaro Bee...
Green SS looks kinda bad...
Jolt is okay (but Ive not enjoyed the overly complex movie SS figures).

Im commenting cuz I usually buy Generations products religiously, even disliking the Bay movies. But rising prices and too many releases...

 

I wonder when Target, Walmart, and etc will put them up on their sites, assuming their online warehouses will actually get enough stock in
