    For a second I thought I saw MP Starscream as Thundercracker.

    It looks to me like Thundercracker has a pin in his chest. Was that known already?

    Can anyone translate the little white sign with blue text in front of Siege Cybertron Prime?

    Don't know if anyone has said this before but that new Drift with a new head and some purple could pass off for a movie version of Arachnid from TFPrime. At least to me he could. Excited for all of these!!!!

    It looks like they chipped off some of Barricade's face paint. Is that another courtesy of Battle Damage?

    Oh well, Springer, TC and Red Alert are buy on sight figures nevertheless.

    It's just saying "colors are not final and subject to change", but we all know that the Japanese releases are sadly the exact same as the US ones these days, so that possibility is probably very, very small... I guess the fact that they put that sign out might be a small glimmer of hope, but I really can't see them making an exception at this point for Galaxy Force Convoy of all characters...

    I wonder why Refracktor and Brunt aren't there? And I'd love to see the Micromasters and Battlemasters more clearly!

    DotM Prime\'s trailer doesn\'t looks so bad in person as it did in promo pictures.

    all i see is mold flash and a hole, no pin and i zoomed in 300%

    ratchet isnt there because hasbro hasnt even announced him yet and hasbro gets first dibs on mainline reveals. hence why toyfair was spoiled by renders, wonderfest was before toyfair, but hasbro released renders of jetfire and company just before wonderfest (or something along those lines)

    I can't believe they didn't get a close up of Springer. Aside from Omega Supreme and Jetfire/Skyfire, he is my most anticipated figure this year! It is easily the best representation of G1 Spring from Hasbro. Now don't get me wrong, I have and love Gen30 Springer. It's one of my favorite Hasbro releases of all time, but it is obviously pure IDW. Much like the Ultra Magnuses (Magni?) we have been so fortunate to receive, one will belong to my G1 shelf, the other to my growing Wreckers shelf (never read the comic, but love the concept).

    This Springer will finally finish my TFTM poster display perfectly! Now I wonder if we will get a new Arcee....and we better get a new Rodimus Prime...

    I guess MP Hound has gone the way of Fans Toys Blitzwing and Trailbreaker. So much for a \"minor\" engineering change

    Really? I'll be interested in what other people think.

    I think that's a pin. Zooming in doesn't change my mind. But I can't be 100% sure.

    that's some serious baby blue going on with Thundercracker. Hopefully it's just the lighting...but I prefer him to be a few shades darker. Understand, I'm not expecting the dark royal blue of the G1 toy - but definitely something in between like this:

    i know skywarp doesnt have a pin either based on the photos from indemandtoys so the lack of pin is mostly assumption on my part. it could also just be a pin holding the prototype together and not be indicative of production pieces
