TFA blitzwing would be amazing but won't be a while since we just got legacy blitzwing sharpnel and metalhawk looks amazing! yoinking thundercracker and nem prime too!
Legacy releases looking great. Metalhawk is a pure chef's kiss moment when it comes to retooling. Bombshell looks great too. Happy to see animated getting love was a fun series. All I want though is the last Autobot targetmaster Sureshot!
Yeah that would explain the "guess who he will look like" comment from BMac. Probably a slip of the tongue where he meant to refer to the key art. Would also just leave Deitrius (if he's indeed a true modular Junkion) and the Voyager Junkion to be revealed. The longer the better since I'll need time to make room in the budget for it.
Pipeline reveals was a lovely addition and a perfect example of taking something that other teams have been doing that works and using it to improve the TF team's presentations. Reveals were as-expected, but the talk of new things coming was a nice cherry on top! Surprised at no Selects Titan since that thing seems imminent with already being on American soil - maybe Tuesday next week?
Bless you Lords and Ladies that are dropping screen shots in for us plebs that are away from a computer.
I love that they straight up said that autobot pretenders aren’t happening like the decepticon ones. That will temper expectations for the future. mum convinced on Matalhawk, he looks great. Prowl is great, twin cast, Dreadwing. All day one purchase. Hot take, I really, really hope Lockdown isn’t in the Junkion system, it limits articulation and the modulators, whilst fun, always look a bit weird next to the other figures
Well, that sucked. xD Not their fault to be honest, its just that we saw most of the reveals by now, even got some extensive video reviews on YouTube. But at least we can get them officially now so thats good. I am digging that MetalHawk so much! T////T
There was never going to be. Hound is supposed to be in the Buzzworthy line, and Hasbro barely acknowledges its existence. They almost never do any Buzzworthy reveals.
I think the thing I'm happiest about from this stream is the Transformers team finally doing pipeline reveals too. That was long overdue.
Looks like they still couldn't help themselves from making the Insecticons not match in some way once again, with Shrapnel's horns being grey and Kickback's wings being clear.
So many of the best looking figures were leaders and that puts them as a pass for me, sadly. I am really looking forward to Twincast and Beachcomber.
A few thoughts about some of the new reveals. Core Class Grimlock is meh by itself, heavily compromised in both modes because is made to combine but I'm really excited for that combined mode because it apparently will be bigger than regular Voyager size which would be appropriate for Dinoking. Metalhawk is a triumph. Heavily retooled from one of the best Voyager moulds in recent years and manages to include a lot of his classic accessories (even the frikking weird sword), the only complaint I have is that the grey plastic really clashes in vehicle mode but even the vehicle itself turned fairly solid. I'm not a Shrapnel fan (or even an Incepticon fan while we're at it) but Legacy Shrapnel turned out fantastic. Much more impressive and interesting looking than Kickback and I hope they do something similar for Bombshell. Some of the teases like Beachcomber and Devcon were nice but I wish they would have shown what Strongarm and Shadow Striker will be based on. I don't doubt that they will be fairly accurate but the wait is killing me. Overall, a pretty decent presentation. Good to know they're getting better at it.
I think Axlegrease is gonna be the Voyager Junkion we've had listings for. While the Deluxe is a Crashbar redeco and new head retool.
So excited for...everything! Especially Metalhawk, what an outstanding job and so happy he has both his guns and sword.
