    Posablility looks really good on both on them between the wrist swivels, waist swivels, high kicking legs and ankle tilts (Bulkhead even seems to have either ankle pivots or posable heel spurs). The heads also look great, though Skids looks a little waffly in the legs and I wish there was something to fill out his back. Maybe it's not so bad in hand, but hopefully his torso isn't that gappy. That and I think he'd look even better with yellow eyes.

    Bulkhead also doesn't look bad in isolation, though personally I was expecting him to be closer to either his Animated or Prime designs. I wonder if him looking so different is due to the figure being a pretool of some other character. That being said, he's suitably buff and all the accessories he comes with are neat. I also like the vehicles modes for the most parts, though Skids's underside looks a little cramped.

    Overall I like what I see, but I hope these new figures will feel as good in hand as some of the better toys form WFC.

    To be fair in your day people also died of polio and measles.
    Living by the mantra of "I suffered so you should too" is a real good way to never see any progress.

    A missed opportunity for Bulkhead. they should have dove him as a GiJoe vehicle like they did in Prime. but i do agree the new design is not flattering

    All this about a bland looking Skids and an afterthought Bulkhead, and I'm still waiting to see what future figure the Jurassic Park SUV was based on and hoping it's Voyager Strong Arm (or that will be the repaint someday).

    I don\'t know why but I really hope that Bulkhead gets retooled into a school bus.

    Actually Hasbro is lucky since I'm only buying a total of 10 Kingdom figures this year (if I still get Slammer and Pipes). Kingdom left me very selective, with SS86 being their saving grace.

    While so far with Legacy alone I've got my eye on almost 20 figures (based on 3 waves). Skids currently being placed in the possible Ollie's list strictly for his car mode.

    I figured out what bothered me about skids. He looks like a slightly more posable cyber battalions figure. That’s such a shame.

    Skids looks excellent, much better than the awful T30 version.
    Couldn't give less of a shit about Bulkhead as a character or design though, so passing on him. :v

    Skids energon weapon looks like part of that Transmutate fossilizer, so I think there is a good chance you can build something out of them.

    I've been going on and on about how bad I think Bulkhead will look... And even I'm slightly surprised by how bad this is. Not very, but a little. That thing is an embarrassingly bad attempt to CHUGify Bulkhead and absolutely confirms this line will not be worth collecting.

    You know, I had this rather morbid idea years ago about a school bus Decepticon that liked to transform while full of children... :ev:

    That kinda just proves my point. That mold sacrificed alot to be "accurate", resulting in a alot of problems (mainly the transformation) and its still not close enough to be "slavish sunbow accuracy". And thats only Prime, imagine how bad a Springer, Blitzwing, Jetfire, or any of the combiners that actually tried to be sunbow would've went.

    Bonus points if the windows have decals of screaming schoolkids
    (Would that be too dark for a toy? I feel like the target audience would think that was the funniest shit ever, but you just know the parents would be up in arms)
