    This looks freaking cool! Already have the original Kingdom release ordered, but might pick this one up too.

    looks rad but I've got like 1 already and the Gen selects on pre-order I don't think I need a third (not even convinced I "need" a second frankly)

    That is kinda nutty looking - it looks little like the movie - but I like the Tron vibe it put off.
    The accessories are not much use to me - unless I get around to buying the Ark, as I don't own Hasbro's Unicron.

    In a way I have to wonder if their sort of general colour scheme would have been better used with an extensive remould as Straxus - now the 3rd parties have proven how well that works - I think it would work with Hasbro too.

    If it's something silly like $100 I'll ignore it if it's not much more than the G1 comic coloured one I wll likely buy - it but it's just a silly novelty - it's not worth any sort of premium to me... especially with the only complementary Megatorn being the mis-scaled RED figure of Reformating Megatron.

    This sort of thing would be like having him covered in Lava and calling him "Char Galvatron" - just a bit of fun - that said throwing the premise out the air lock and judging it just as a toy in it's own right I DO actually quite like the colours.

    Though a part of me does think perhaps they might have been better off making something else entirely instead.
    But some of the things I'd suggest may well get made eventually anyway (just not right away) - such as Earthrise Optimus as Nemesis Prime. or Archforce Megatron.

    Meh, all I'd be into are the Unicron dlc stuff, so unless someone wants to split a set it's not for me

    On the main bot, I think it looks okay for what it is. No, it doesn’t look like the source material, but I think that’s fine and that the RED Megatron paint deco wouldn’t work here for a transforming figure.

    I will say it could use more of that white lining to get the effect it’s going for. I’m not typically a panel lining guy but I can see this looking much better if someone were to go to town on this figure with a white marker

    I just had a terrible thought... what if THIS is what they plan to reveal at today's FFF? I sincerely hope not, but I wouldn't put it past Hasbro to give us a slew of "clever" repaints this morning.

    I hate this because I want the little figures and the ship but NOT the Galvatron.

    It'll be the Haslab, they've all but announced it considering the use of the Victory theme and Star Saber's catch phrase in conjunction with today announcement

    Anybody want to split the set? I want the Unicron stuff but not the Galvatron figure and I work in a mailing house so I can ship stuff substantially cheaper. PM me if interested

    I don't know. The Unicron extras are kind of neat, even compared with my Platinum edition.

    I have some unfortunate news for you. Not everyone lives on fan sites and actually wait for legit reveals because they 1. Treat this as a hobby and not an obsession and 2. Look forward to reveals

    Looks cool! But I don't "need" him (thank god, something I feel I can skip). I dig the little Autobot shuttle and especially the Quintesson screw ship (always liked that ship design) but I didn't get Unicron so hopefully I can try and forget these little cool ships.
