    These all look great, and I'm picking all of them up. Low key wishing we got Frenzy with Barricade since we got Scorponok with Blackout. Characters I'm hoping eventually get a SS figure: Soundwave, Jetfire, Sentinel Prime, Devastator.

    VW probably would not let them make him that vehicle. I'm just stocked we're getting WWII BB.

    I never had multiple Barricade. Just one. The 2007 version.
    This version is a mix of Interrogation (DOTM) Barricade and the MPM version.
    Too bad, no Frenzy accessory.

    Probably it's another reason I will not dispose the 2007 version.
    Because of Frenzy.

    Next question is.... S C A L E :lol 
    So Barricade may end up at the alt mode scales between SS Bee's to SS Lockdown's.
    I'll be furious if SS Barry end up same scale with SS Jazz.

    SS SSwipe's scale looks big. But I think it'll be around smaller than Lockdown's.
    Don't forget the robot scale of SS Ratchet. I don't think a Corvette Stinger should smaller than Pontiac Solstice.

    Too little too late for me at this point. I simply REFUSE to support anything movie anymore, no matter how nice it looks. It helps WWII Bee looks like complete ass in my opinion (as well as existing to validate a completely bullshit concept in a completely bullshit film)

    Unless it's a Movie 1 Landmine repaint, because that toy is perfection.

    Movie-line plastic doesn't photograph well sometimes, but I can see some decent paint on the feller and they're using a shade of grey plastic that isn't translucent! I dunno, Hasbro seems like they're at the very least trying to do better..

    When I first saw this, I almost thought Bumblebee was Hound. Well, this was from my phone, so it was small.

    Just went and checked. WWII BB's alt mode is VERY wrong. In the movie he was a Mercedes-Benz 770

    here is the clip.

    Sideswipe looks incredible. That silver paint is super slick. I'm so excited but I'm a little bit bummed that they couldn't get his real headlight pieces on his forearms like the Sidearm figure, and rhat would eliminate the kibble from his wheel feet. But otherwise he looks fantastic. So glad to see he finally has the chest pieces compressing inwards and his shoulders under the fenders instead of sticking way too far out.

    Barricade looks really really good to me. I was planning on getting the mpm but I might even just get this guy instead considering how good he looks and the price difference.

    WWII Bee is just meh to me. Glad for all you guys who are excited but I think I'm gonna skip this one. Way too much kibble just sitting on his back and the green looks kinda weird. His hammer forming the vehicle cannon is pretty clever though.

    Guess I'll state my case as well, having owned the Movie 1 (technically rotf) and DOTM version of Barricade, I'm curious about his scale. I'm super big on robot mode scale, so if it looks a bit too big I may be on the hunt for a better (aka complete) dorm version. But otherwise I'm really digging him. Just really wished he had Frenzy. Guess I'll have to pick up an old movie 1 version of frenzy for now.

    Sideswipe is a bought on site for me. Jazz was my favorite in movie 1, and Sideswipe quickly filled that void in 2 and 3 for me. I'm loving the silver paint scheme and I'm very thankful I dont need to hunt down a DOTM or Lost Age version to fit in scale anymore.

    WWII bee is interesting to me. I'll have to see how his transformation actually is, cause I dont really have a place for him in my collection. He looks wicked though.

    Hot damn! This came out of nowhere! I thought the Fan Expo thing at Canada was going to be this weekend!

    Seeing Studio Series Sideswipe makes me glad I didn't score any of the previous ones! (And admit it, how many of you are going to replicate that Mexican standoff SS had with Ironhide and the Dreads in DOTM?)

    I haven't seen TLK, but WWII Bumblebee looks rad. It would probably look just as good with a different head and name though. Maybe 07 Landmine?

    Now all that's left is Bonecrusher and the 07 Decepticons will be just about complete (except Frenzy unless it so turns out he's inside Barricade). Aren't we supposed to be getting a voyager class Bonecrusher anyways though?
