    This^ Anyone heard anything about AD 18 and AD 19 yet? Why do I have a sinking feeling we won't know until people start receiving them in their orders? Why are they such a freaking secret?

    AD30 isnt pictured either but we know its helicopter Drift.

    I wish I didn't like the way that Bee figure looks. Maybe if it gets a repaint and I can swap the heads easily...Or something...I donno...

    Snarl almost feels to me like a late wave Beast Wars figure. If he had chrome you could easily call him transmetal Snarl.

    It looks like the concept was that his dino head was suppose to split and fold into his legs, but on the toy it only folds into his left leg, so they made a fake half head for the other to keep it to the art, which if true, would be odd given none of us have ever seen the art for this guy's robot mode.

    Regardless if there are wrist swivels or not for Snarl, I like the design. And I'll get him. (Since I am going completionist on the Dinobots...)

    Bee looks nice, and I hope they aren't lazy with Stinger and just repaint and add a new head sculpt. Seriously, when I saw BumbleBee's new toy I was surprised. I was expecting him to transform like his previous figures the same way. He might still have some similar transformation since it is BumbleBee.

    Why doesn't Bumblebee have his signature car door wings?

    Cause he doesn't have them anymore. The AOE design got rid of them.

    They're not signature door wings anyway. They were just there in the movies on a design that had nothing to do with Bumblebee. Time to forget about them.

    Well, TFS just emailed me that New Bee, Hound and Lockdown have not yet shipped from their supplier. Which means they wont be shipping from TFS this month.I hope this doesnt mean my Masterpiece preorders arent delayed again.
