    Better to kiss Primal's feet than his ass, I suppose.

    I hope they do a Face-Bot combiner.

    It looks worse, like they had an ugly contest, this thing won and was then beat mercilessly with ugly sticks.

    Poor Bumblbee I'll remember you as you were.

    I want the G1 Headmasters like this now. Zarak and Spike as wearable Scorponok and Fort Max heads would be incredible.

    I kind of like this Idea with Headmasters and Quintessons.

    aren't you always chiding others about their negativity?

    I'll probably get these, not 100% sure I want them but I do want to play with them a little and I also want to support Hasbro doing something new. Transforming masks, would never have thought of it :D

    I'll reserve judgement until I see some good renders of the onscreen version, but on first impression I'm not really liking the new use of the additional yellow on the face. Could change my mind though, never know. It's happened before.

    This and the Primal mask have me picturing some brainstorming meeting at Hasbro:

    "Well, for every new Transformers movie we've been making these kids' role-play masks. The kids seem to like 'em, but is there any new feature or gimmick we can apply to them, so we can sell new ones?"

    "How about the masks themselves change into robots?"

    " ...! (team leader's eyes slowly grow wider and wider) "

    Primal had me onboard ... the close ups of this reminded me of current Hasbro: crappy plastic, some likely terrible QC (where parts won't hold correctly), and mediocre robot mode.

    This is meant to be used as a mask. For kids who literally don't care. :rolleyes2  I just want the local dump to clear enough Atari E.T. cartridges to fit this new pile! :lol 

    "Kids seem to like them" oooooorrrr "what can we cheaply make and spam on shelves for dumb kids?" :lol 

    To be fair, how often have u seen kids play w masks, outside of Halloween? I'm not seeing the purpose here. The stores stop carrying costumes past October - don't think it's because Hasbro is hoarding the secret of selling cosplay to regular consumers all year long! :lol  But everything has a formula: low production cost + mediocre sales = profit. Even small gains add to the overall stockholder report... even if this will waste a lot of shelf space... which is fine, when u think about it, because the TF shelves are pretty empty most of the time now.

    All the time. That’s why they keep making them.

    You have kids running around your neighborhood in BB masks? :lol  I figured it was more a basement play thing.

    Kids LOVE these dude. Straight up. My kids went through the avengers movies as toddlers and they would want a mask before an action figure..Before we layed on the floor with action figures, we ALL ran around the house as spiderman, superman,wonder women...You name it. And when your running around the house using a paper towel tube as Mjolner ALL YOU WANNA DO IS LOOK like your hero your pretending to be. With a mask..you dont need no outfit..you dont need anything else, because you look in the mirror, and YOU ARE THOR..at least when your 5 or 7... All you gotta do is think back to your childhood bro, and think of who YOU use to run around as...and your gunna ask if "Kids really even like these?" And @ZapRowsdower , you have MST3K as an avatar..I KNOW you tied a towel on and thought you were superman once..

    CMON bro....

    If I had a Snake eyes mask as a kid Id a superglued it to my face.

    So...YEAH...kids love these.
