Hasbro Announces New Transformers R.E.D. 6-Inch Figure Series With G1 Optimus Prime, G1 Megatron - IGN

They look good for 20 bucks. Hopefully they do obscure characters. They remind me of the super 7 stuff though.

 

So that's what R.E.D was! I'm really excited.

 

For like $2 more than a Super7 Reaction figure, I definitely like these more.

 

Revoltech lives again!

 

Hmmm... not too shabby looking at all. Which retailers are they going to show up at?

 

Wasn’t Soundwave listed months ago. I bet he is going to look nice.

 

Oh. Fantastic.

 

Definitely.

My knee jerk reaction was "meh"...but I reserve judgement on these until I have one in hand. I don't see myself filling a shelf with them...but one or two will probably come home with me. I'm not typically into non-TF'ing TFs, but, if they pull something off that the TF'ing version can not do (or does not do well) I'd be interested. There's something to be said for the opportunity to get a decently articulated show-accurate version of a character that doesn't cost a ton of money, has zero kibble and is less prone to breakage or catastrophic QC issues.

 

These look really clean, and I'd love to fiddle with one to see how the joints are. They look like nice, solid action figures that come with some nifty accessories.

 

I like how this seems to include charactrs from other TF eras if the Prime Arcee and Cheetor listings are any indication.

 

Really on the fence with these. Transforming transformers nowadays have practically the same articulation and can transform. Unless these have double jointed knees, ab crunch and/or shoulder/pec articulation it will be a hard sell for me. I would reserve final judgement until l have one in hand. I would however be keen on a Soundwave's minions pack if they went that route.

But first impressions: they look clean.....

 

Too bad they don't look to have better forward leg movement.

 

I’m not crazy about non-transforming toys, but if they could do a show accurate Prime Airachnid, that’d be cool

 

There are many figures in the series that would benefit from a figure such as these. Anyone remember the Triggerbots or Triggercons?

 

Robo Replica too

Nice!

I think they make great successors to the Robot Replicas of Movie 1 and ROTF.

 

I'm all in baby.

 

All in for Soundwave
