March 2018 Takara-Tomy toy release information - more Siege Decepticons

 

That drum magazine on hound looks amazing might get him for that

 

yeah, all that backpack stuff is going into the storage bin.

 

That settles it. This is the perfect Shockwave. All one would have to do is remove the extra head on the handle and maybe paint the extra front part or backpack grey and it would be completely perfect.

 

Why does Megatron keep alternating between looking like utter shit and pretty good between pics?

 

His torso is too wide and his shoulders sit too high.

 

No, they're fine. His torso is too short and head too big is the issue. Pretty much the same issues I have with MP Megs.

 

I just saw this, but Megatron's tank mode looks like ToyWorld's Hardbone with a normal tank turret.

 

I guess we're just going to have to see it on shelves to see if these issues bother us that much. Either way, yeah, the proportions are off. Shame. :/

 

Looking forward to getting that Hound and arming him up like he thinks he is from the Bayverse.

Will really suit this mold.

 

I need to go read some of the Tandy Whiz Kids comics to honor their memory.
Astro Magnum was made by Toyco,not Radio Shack.Radio Shack just imported it to the United States.

 

I'm not completely sure if I want him myself,now that you mention it.The robot mode is nice(in good photographs),but the tank mode is just okay.I might just wait for in-hand pictures before I decide if I want him.

 

Wake me when Takara reveals Soundwave with a red visor.

 

Sweet you can plug the tank cannon on the back and make him have his classic look

 

They look fantastic !

 

I am putting money on that this is Springer.

 

Seriously, someone needs to tell Flywheels to update his wardrobe. That look went out of style thirty years ago! It's embarrassing.  


Yeah, it's kind of a bummer to see that Flywheels (still) basically wears 90% of the aircraft as a backpack. The entire fuselage barely transforms at all! Considering his vehicles are - unlike Battletrap - unfettered by individual robot modes, I was anticipating a more involved transformation.

 

So you mean to tell me, that you looked at this and your first thought was it was bummer that the jet was on his back....

Get out of my office!

 

You may be right, but it doesn't look like Springer's head at all.

 

Hell no. Flyguy is my guy, fam.

I have eyes. He's impossibly awesome in virtually every other regard.
