    Anyone notice the flat crazy looking peg in the very wide opening on the gun. As it it fits on his head and the flat peg fits into the top of his head?

    Lockdown wins the "Best-Looking Deluxe of AoE" award, hands-down.

    Yeah, but that price... :(  I agree this is the most movie-accurate and best looking version so far, for people who can afford it, though.


    And Lockdown does indeed look great.

    I was hoping Takara would somehow make the Galvatron bot mode look less lame, but no soap.

    Ain't much black on "Black Knight Grimlock" is there? Wasn't gonna get him anyway, but if I was, the straggling bits of orange would've killed it for me.

    Looks like it updated to have pictures of Lockdown and he's so damn handsome.

    lockdown looks so much better properly transformed/angled. guess i will turn him into swindle afterwards.

    hound's silver beard looks nice.

    galvatron looks so much better but whyyy can they not match the truck's gray with the robot's or vice versa.

    drift's face color looks good but all the blues are kinda clashing.

    slash's visor blends in too much... but strafe's dino eyes clash BAD. wow.

    sad how black knight grimlock ended up being... not very black.

    I gotta admit, Grimlock looks better than his US counterpart.
    Lockdown - why all the black?
    Hound, Drift, Galvatron, Strafe and Slash - same as Scorn, Bumblebee and Slug. Not different enough to justify importing.

    I ahte how the close-ups aren't real close-ups, and aren't higehr resolution. i want to see more details.

    Lockdown looks good, though the paint on the head is weird. I have no idea why Drift's face is silver. Grimlock is a nice deco, but the mould still looks horrible. Everyone else is just difefrent, not really improved at all.

    Because he's black in the movie?

    Well, actually looking at the trailers, he's black. His alt mode is dark, dark grey, but his robot mode might as well be black.
