    Seems to be based on the DX9 design Hurricane, with a new gun and head mold?

    Looks like new wings too. Definitely like the new head. Just wish they could add ankle-tilts.

    I might be wrong, but I think thigh swivels were already added to the mold when DX9 re-released it in the "Doombringers" 3-pack.

    Hey man, it's cool. Thigh swivels are always worth celebrating in my book! :)

    Thanks for posting that Cha Chi. I had no idea they had so much in the pipe line. Is that Rodimus available now or coming later?
    With all of this sweet upsizing, why the hell didn't they upsize Hulkie?

    2 to 6 is nothing. I think i'll get the rest. But do need a better prime then nr1 here.

    And they should have downsized kfc tempest with better head sculp. I think that cyclonus look very cartoon accurate.

    I've seen upscales; can they down scale? If they can there is a whole list of figures from other companies that I'd like to see downscaled to Legend Commander/Legend size.

    Are #11 to #16 supposed to be individual releases? Makes no sense to have #17 separate otherwise.

    It looks like they've done a bit of remolding on their Hot Rod figure; I can't wait to get a better look!

    Looks much better. I was not into the DX9 one at all.

    No not individual figures just been given individual numbers. Sort of exactly like dx9 themselves do it i suspect.

    The Rodimus/hot rod should be soon although, they have not said much and personally i have no interest in this toy as any kind of rodimus even with tweaks. Looking for something better and that may well come one day.

    I do like cyclonus head, the original was very much based off the idw design. It looks like they changed the wings, another thing to note is Scourge is a different size(?) upscale than cyclonus because the original toy was bigger than Galvatron(i think). So i am happy with that too.

    What is 10 all about?

    Weren't they going to release a Megatron? He had a bunch of stuff and had two heads if I recall correctly. Is that #10?

    We saw the test shot and never heard about it again. I think they are just doing random selections now. Makes sense... I was trying to figure out what "happy" would be.

    The Gnaw almost came out of nowhere and is ready to go. I'm skipping that one.

    Since DX9 hasn't supplied BBTS with more of the WiP versions, I may have to take the dip (even if the scale doesn't match).
