    Whew. Armada Prime, I'll need more information. Is he a standalone Armada/ML figure, or the first of many? I don't need a one-off. Star Convoy from the PotP OP mold is fantastic - He's perfectly sized to go with Dai Atlas, et al., and since I've retired PotP OP with the new Siege figure, I won't have mold-mates as different-ish characters. Looking forward to seeing how they've retooled Orion Pax - there's no canonical choice that makes sense, but they could go a few ways (my guess is he'll look Convoy-ish; more square legs, OP head).

    Awesome awesome awesome. That armada Prime is soooo good. Sold on the star convoy as well. Too bad one of these designs aren’t being used in the new IDW comic. Those headsculpt are incredible. A lot of faith is being restored by these guys after the disappointment that is siege galaxy convoy.

    Don’t understand the bumblebee at all, but I’m happy for those who want this kind of thing I suppose. Not for me in the slightest. What an absolute mess. These new g1 MPs have no cohesion at all.

    black arachnia looks good. I’m not staying up with no beast wars, but I want it all

    I’m interested in Armada Optimus and that Convoy next to him.
    If I didn’t have severe arachnophobia, I’d get that Blackarachnia.
    Definitely will still be buying Hound.

    V2 Bee is a very easy pass. That thing is just a hot mess to me.

    Yeah good call, those feet look mistransformed there. ‘At the very least’ that blue window part on the back of his feet that you highlighted, folds up and tucks in underneath his legs so there’s no gap there, the slot is even cut exactly the same shape.

    I suppose it had to happen one day... Even Takara has mistransformed a figure that’s on display now!

    Oof. I like my T30 one but I'd probably be game. I think my top three wishes would be Sideways, Wheeljack, and Demolishor. Runner-up being Cyclonus.

    That Bumblebee V2 looks like a load of crap. Ah well, saved me some money at least!

    I wonder if Star Convoy will have the same Matrix core as POTP Optimus and Rodimus or if it will be resculpted into the Zodiac or something. Or maybe he’ll include a Primemaster that looks like Hot Rod.

    To add to that it also looks like his backpack is mistransformed a bit. Seems like the top window should fit snug over the other windows up there along the curve, the mid panel back there below it would also swing down, and maybe that bottom flap will rotate at the metal pin there and then the entire backpack would be fairly flush. Look better at least.

    If not I hope the 3Ps are paying attention to this post lol

    One of my gripes with Jetfire is that while his hands do open, he has 5mm ports stuck inside them. Why go through the trouble of articulated fingers if you're gonna do that anyways?

    That Amada Prime and Star Convoy look phenomenal!!
    Haven't been so excited about the main line release for many years.
    Hope Hasbro won't blow it for the final product.

    @TCracker was right!!!! He told me Blackarachnia would be shown at Wonderfest a few days ago, and asked me not to talk.

    Well the 'Cat' just might be out of the bag on BA, but something else just might get shown today if @TCracker is correct 2 times out of 2.
