    Wonder what's up with Perceptor on Pulse. Did manage to get in Starsream and 2 Sweeps (I am happy with that level). Rarely saw more than two on screen on the show.

    I just noticed Red Alert isn’t a preorder so I guess he’ll be shipping soon. That’s awesome

    I would have preferd if the sweeps had two closed fists and Scourge was the only one hand open one. Now (if the sweeps are right handed) they will all hold their guns in their open hands.

    NICE!

    Can't wait to replace Generations Perceptor!

    I guess ER Starscream's getting replaced, too.

    I agree when it comes to Star Wars, but I got tired of Power Rangers being focused on Mighty Morphin incredibly quickly. It's worse than Transformers because we have Beast Wars and a tease for Armada.

    We'll see.

    Will wait to find a Sweep (or 2?) in person. PO’s Screamed just in case. And got Perceptor on BBTS while I wait for Pulse to get sorted out

    Just got the Hasbro Pulse link to work.

    Edit: For Perceptor. Should have stated that.

    Man, I really wish I understood the love SS Peceptor? I don’t see any improvements to this over the Titans Return figure, outside of ankle tilts. The tiny head and the lack of paint apps on the legs really aren’t doing it for me.

    I’m really glad that some people are getting what they wanted though! :)

    Coronation Starscream drops on April Fool's Day, which is a holiday known for it's relentlessly bad comedy.

    Oh Hasbro.

    Last Perceptor we've got was TR one with Headmaster. Before TR one was a Perceptor that transformes into a car. So we actually got new G1 accurate Perceptor and it's cool that character without normal(not a fan of idea that character who wasn't headmaster originally is a headmaster) modern interpretation finally gets a decent figure. G1 in Generations is good as long as they keep doing characters that wasn't made properly before.

    To avoid going back dozens of pages, is Starscream just the ER mold?

    I was able to PO Starscream on Pulse, but for whatever reason it just wouldn't let me add Perceptor to my cart. I just got him on BBTS.

    Also, in case you guys didn't notice, Kingdom Red Alert is on Pulse, in stock.

    It's not a head master and scales better that's all it took for me

    Well the only real reveal is Perceptor and he does look good. Sweep works fine, but still disappointed he isnt a more purplish or greenish shade of blue to distinguish him from Scourge. And Starscream was no suprise after they did the same thing in the RED line. Honestly I would rather use the throne for Megatron if it fits. Hoping he is a brighter shade of white but somehow I doubt it. It will probably be just the same deco with the extra parts.

    Just noticed that the promo pic they have for the Sweep in vehicle mode is missing his head. I wonder if the photographer couldn't figure out how to transform it properly and just ripped it off lol[​IMG]

    With the way they been handling things this year it’s pretty clear that they are sellouts and I have every right to be fucking mad at them. Leaks or not being revealed they’ve been handling Transformer reveals terribly this year. Forget about leaks how about putting up damn pre-orders because they’re still figures that have been announced that have yet to be officially for retail order.

    Check my expectations… how about check the self control of all the fucking scalpers taking advantage of Hasbro shit ass retail distribution!
