    My head just exploded.

    And my wallet is sobbing.

    I will get so many of these, don't give a crap if they look a bit off.

    I have so many things planned for these. Hopefully they create many more of these

    I really don't know what to say, they look horrible, but good, but bad, and weird and IDK man.. it really depends on the price, depends on if I want them, but more than likely I'll pass

    Makes me wonder which brick company did Hasbro hijack this time? Is it still (Oxford?) the same one whose brand appears in Kreo boxes?

    I agree that we now have more kit-bash fodder. Hope the weapon pegs are of the same diameter as the current toy lines.

    I would like to see a proper voyager class version of Blitzwing....and Bumblebee (for the kids!)

    Great Primus on roller skate that came from left field.

    Transformers Bionicles - (and not a Michael Bay joke in sight).

    I can't decide if these are awesome squared or beyond lame I need to think about it a bit.

    I guess it will depend on if they can transform with out disassembly or not if they are only capable of transformation via disassembly then I'll be slightly less interested in them.

    But I can't help but like that Bumblebee Starfighter that is deranged but awesome.

    BONKERS - completely - BONKERS

    Heck if they are based around 3mm clips and 5mm posts and holes i'd buy them for the guns/thrusters/blades/wings alone.

    There would be a tone of stuff you could do with them both now and into the future - for example disassemble Ironhide and use 5mm posts to wrap his stray parts around arms Micron Optimus as truck armour (like Striker Prime).

    I bet some Kreo bits will prove useful if you wanted to make them look a bit better in vehicle mode though. They are very similar to some Marvel bloks toys I have too.

    I don't find this line appealing. Only building piece TF line I like is kreon microchangers.

    Curious to see who the remaining 8 scouts and elites will be. Tempted to buy Soundwave and MAYBE Blitzwing if the size is right for that $25 price tag.

    I wonder if those are 5mm pegged weapons.

    The only one I didn't recognize right off the bat was Blitzwing (purely by process of elimination). The rest of them, I give Hasbro props for making them very recognizable even if they do look like cobbled messes.

    Everyone else is recognizable, although Soundwave oddly gives off a Dirge vibe.

    I loved Bionicles a long time ago, so I'm kinda happy.

    These look...ok. I need to see better pics before I can judge them properly (also Iwant to know who the other sixteen smaller sets are). I'll probably end up picking one up regardless, though. Probably Starscream.

    Yeah, I agree. Dirge is the best ever, so too bad Soundwave's wings aren't bronze.

    Toy Fair is tomorrow? Nice, I was wondering when it was coming around, as I don't really read up on conventions.
    I'll probably end up buying them all, and then attempt to recreate my FOC characters. :p

    It's better than Built to Rule in transformation and robot mode aesthetics. But that's about all the positives I can say about these for me.

    Undecided on these myself. Think I'm gonna have to wait til these hit retail and people get them and starting posting video reviews of them to decide if I like them or not. But gotta agree with RedAlert Rescue, if these transform by disassembly, then it'll be yet another line of non-transforming TFs I'll be ignoring.

    That said, this could line could have A LOT of potential if it ventures into combiner territory.

    I'll probably get one or two to try out.

    I don't know if it will be good or successful or not, but even now I can almost hear the custom TF makers go "LOOK AT ALL THAT RAW MATERIAL!!"
