    Looks like they transformed deluxe Arcee in a new way, and it fixes the lopsidedness of her bot mode. The breastplate part has been rotated 90 degrees to her left and she's looking to the side. It gives her that skateboarding look she has in the movie.

    Just watch e-Hobby come out with a neon green version of G1 Skids. Gosh, I'll want that.

    Blaster looks infinitely better with the red Autobot display, rather than the awful Windows-like desktop image - heck, I might even shell out for him (once I've seen a couple of decent robot mode pix, that is). :thumb 

    The mice still look rubbish though, IMHO. :thumbdown

    And we know the size of Legends Devastator.

    [​IMG]

    Look at Grindor on the right. Take away the platform, and Devastator should reach Grindor's chest at his highest point. Very disappointing...

    Well the very way Devastator transforms and carries himself severely reduces his height. But a legends combiner in and of itself will always be awesome.

    I agree with this. With the bent knees and hunch back he was never going to be very tall but IMO this is maybe the ROTF toy thats going to be worth the wait

    What else did you expect with them being Legends sized? He's about as tall as two Legends robots put on top of each other.

    In fact, one Japanese magazine has supplied us with the exact height already: 150mm, which is almost 6 inches.

    HA Skids looks awesome! Sideswipe has grown on me quite a bit. I probably buy it.

    Just wondering - any chance of seeing Decepticons in Human alliance/like package? Maybe Barricade with Frenzy, Sideways with "Alice"...

    Barricade and Frenzy were confirmed at BotCon.
    Fingers crossed we'll see them next week at SDCC.

    Edit: beaten to the punch.

    Encore Skids? Really?? Looks like Hasbro is trying to kill off G1 again. "lol, nobody bought our G1 toys!"

    HA Skids looks really nice. I'd only wanted to get Barricade, but Skids is tempting me. I like that they're Alternatorish. That's the best pic I've seen so far of Sideswipes legs extended, so I guess he doesn't have that stumpy leg look when he's TF'd correctly. Might have to get him too.
