    Gonna have to wait and see better pics of Skorponok so I know... ahh who am I kidding I'm getting him. Sky Lynx looks perfect to, and Arcee looks... about the same as the T30, which is to say not bad.

    More Transformers fans care about the G1 cartoon than those who don’t. You’re in the minority.

    She probably will get some kind of re-use - there's not been many Earthrise molds that haven't gotten, or are not planned to have, a repaint/remold.

    So is this just what we have to look forward to now? If a Transformer is too difficult we just leave off a part of the alt mode? That's just pure laziness, first Cliffjumper and now Arcee.

    Skylynx is the only worthwhile reveal here. Hope Studio Series doesn't disappoint like Earthrise has.

    I miss when they reinvented instead of all this rehashing.

    I can't wait to get Sky Lynx, I had him as a kid and one of the few season 3 characters that I liked.

    Hmm. Can we infer anything about potential height vs. fort max (I don't have any of the ones pictured here aside from fort max and cerebros/fortress)?

    The waist swivel probably already seals the win. I am all in for the partsforming as long as she's more stable on foot and poseable.

    I tried reeeeaal hard to like Generations Select Nightbird, but I was in complete denial and although the car mode is pretty sweet, I ended up backtracking and picked up the Takara Night Bird Shadow for MSRP and it is waaaaaaay better than that shitty heavy kibble floppy Siege Chromia mold.

    I infer Scoponox is far superior

    So...is the "NASA" brand on Sky Lynx because they wanted to use an actual shuttle design? Like, compared to the CW Sky Lynx is ER Sky Lynx using a licensed shuttle?

    *looks over at Studio Series*

    I'm sorry what now?

    This person gets it.

    Kinda disappointed with arcee, thought they might be more creative with the design. Also disappointed with the "hover board". The other figures look amazing and I hope Scorponok has his gun

    "Partsforming" being the key word here. :rolleyes:  Legends Arcee had slightly more accurate colours anyway.

    Not really, the Battlemasters still had them - that ramp bot had a smaller explosion effect. And that and the Commander/Titan classes were the only ones in Siege that had the effects too.

    Holy shit, I can't believe they're actually doing a partsformer where the extracted leftover kibble is just left aside - as in, they couldn't even be bothered to make it transform into some kind of weapon or mobile base or anything that's even remotely interesting, and instead just let it be a large plain static piece of plastic that you pop off the vehicle and throw away in the robot. This level of incompetence is absolutely astonishing and the fact that so many people ITT seem to be fine with it is an indicator of how little some Transformers fans actually care about the "transformers" part of their toys.

    I think T30 Arcee may have a more involved transformation than this new Arcee. However, I think the new one might have better range of motion and that would be a big plus to me.

    I want to see a transformation video with the front half of the car kept on to see how it looks.

    I dunno, MMC's Arcee compacted everything just fine so I'm not sure why Takara/Hasbro struggle so much.

    Anyway, that aside, I like the face sculpt render more than the MP and the chest is far better. I'd jump at this for under £20.

    Scorponok looks interesting. Not sure I have the space for any more bots that size but I like what I see. Sky Lynx looks pretty cool, though I've no real fondness for the character. Oddly enough Fasttrack is the standout, I love what they're doing with the base minions.
