    Ha! I love that they got the Perfect Effect accessory treatment. That's a nice nod to some impressive, if outdated figures.

    Super-clean camera mode too! Wooowee.

    No word on height, yet. Hopefully around their Huffer's height, or a little taller.

    They did a pretty good job on the faces! I'm impressed. :D 

    Given how they compare to MST Megs, I'd say around Huffer's size sounds about right.

    You know why they don't work for me? They're cute. They're not supposed to be cute, they're supposed to be secret death machines, but they're basically the Baby Yoda version of Reflector and my murderbots can't be adorable, doggone it.

    Odd that the hands are on balls and not the pegs that their other figures have.

    Looks good and not as partsformery as PE/MFT (drives me crazy that there's a whole plate that forms the bottom of the camera for MFT). I like that the heads aren't showing like they are in NA. This will probably be my Reflector - I'm not too happy with NA's pricing and their efforts to try to get us to buy all their repaints (Starscream's coronation gear coming with the clear variant instead of the normal one) so I'm thinking I'll be leaning toward MST more in the future.

    I wouldn't mind if these were Newage Insecticon size.

    They look good in any case. Gimme.

    Alot of like, overall better contour, but

    wish
    1) the forarms werent hollow like that, forces only hands down poses. NA did better
    2) the faces werent silver, but light gray, like the NA
    3) more paint details on the body / camera details. The thing i hate most about MS, their none pristine look (NA always better)

    On the Newage, man do i hate those visible ball jointed arm (it's what they almost always do anyways, i know, but MS so much nicer), and the closed fist with holes (fixed by offering at least a closed fist without weapon port).

    NA really nails that Sunbow camera mode. They're fantastic at capturing the look of the cartoon.

    hmm, I think l like the NA version better, they're less lanky, head to body proportion is more in tune with what I like.

    I'll probably end up with both, I'm a total sucker for Reflector. Scouting Force remains one of my favourite 3rd party products of all time.

    Same. So far I have Perfect Effect, MFT and Papa for Legends-scale Reflectors, and both color schemes of the new Siege Reflector! Both NewAge and Magic Square will be mine [in fact, I already have NA pre-ordered with @ShowZStore ].

    I guess the mini camera the Seeker was holding in some of the test shots comes with a different figure. Looks good.

    That seems to be how they do it.

    Optimus with Mangus's hand. Hoist with Grapple's Solar Tower. Probably Soundwave with Megatron pistol and Megatron with Reflector camera:

    I would expect the mini camera to come with either Thundercracker or Skywarp, which ever one it was that used them in the first episode of the cartoon (I'm completely blanking on which one asked to see what Reflector could see).
