    I'm going for the entire wave 4 deluxes. They all look great.

    Well Galvatron is alright with some additional painting, modding and a $5 part from Shapeways.
    Do you consider Sentinel Prime a Villain?

    Dat Quake headsculpt... *DROOL*

    I love the Action Master homages, but I must be one of the few people who did NOT like the Skullsmasher mold. I don't think I'd buy it again.

    Great colors on both repaints. And I think Krok has a new chestplate.
    Wonder if they maybe gave Quake a new turret? That\'d make him a totally different toy in tank mode.
    I frankly don\'t see Topspin looking like Misfire, if anything, the way the silver prongs are located, I can see him being remolded into his brother Twin Twist later on.

    I dont know who these hypotetical peopleare. I'm guessing you are just trying to twist in the wound of people like me who dont like either idea.
    Pretenders are two different characters, Actionmasters like Krok who had a 'targetmaster' partner are two characters. They should have been updated accordingly. Funpub did it right, this is doing it wrong.

    Exactly who I think he shares engineering with (remold)! Glad I am not the only one to see this. Lol

    No, he's speaking for me as well.

    Scale wise I like that Bee's back to his G1 self and when you swap his arms around in bot mode he looks much better. But I don't think we need him in two back to back waves along with his repaint when Gnaw and Kickback are both proven troop builders. Granted Gnaws bot mode is basically crap, I doubt the 2 I have will ever leave their Sharkticon modes anyway. Or the 2 more I plan on buying along with 1 more Kickback to make 3.

    They look great!

    Adore the headsculpts on Quake and Krok, so glad to see them. :D  Quake's been long overdue for a new figure.

    Um ... why do people keep saying they think Topspin will get remolded into Misfire? Have you forgotten what Misfire's alt-mode looks like? It looks like what you would get if you decreased the size of a Dralthi's wings and attached them to the front of the cockpit, then elongated the back half into a more standard starfighter shape. And for those that don't get that reference, it looks like TR Triggerhappy, with the nosecone that folds onto the back replaced with two curvy prongs that attach directly to the cockpit.

    On the other hand, those long pylon thingys that Topspin has, and just as importantly the amount of space between them, are a dead ringer for Slugslinger as artiepants pointed out yesterday.

    Krok has a remolded chest at least. Quake hopefully has something different for his turret than Hardhead's gun.

    I would prefer a non-croc Krok but ... remolding the chest at least makes him look a little better. I may get the full set of deluxes. At least they're done better than Getaway was. But if BBTS jacks up the price for the full wave again then I won't. And yes I know I could go to other sites, but the cost for shipping likely would end up evening out with the PoL.

    I think all of the Voyagers from this line have greatly suffered from the triple changing gimmick. Way too many "CYBERTRONIAN -insert vehicle here-" modes being used as a cop out for mediocre designs (in my opinion, of course). Sentinel Prime is not the movie version, so he's not a villain to me, but I dislike the mold as Astrotrain because both alt-modes feel pretty weak to me.

    They just suffer from trying to incorporate too many gimmicks. The upcoming Prime and Megatron look nice, but the newfound reliance on cheap stickers is an incredible turnoff.

    Deluxes and Titanmasters though? Pure bliss. The headmaster gimmick finally feels like it's justifying the 15 dollar price tag, and the animal Titanmasters in particular are tons of fun even without a bigger toy to accompany them. The last three years have honestly just been spectacular for the Generations line overall, so I don't mind a few toys that aren't to my taste.

    Krok looks nice. I'd prefer jet but this is still better than him as a Dreadwing repaint.
    Quake looks amazing!

    There were people who thought this may happen? If anything I'm more shocked the twins won't have Titanmasters Rack & Ruin.

    I wanted to skip Krok as I already own the club version, but it looks too good to pass and I could end up selling the TFCC one. I don't own the Skullsmasher mold though: is it possible to attach to the back the ugly tail-gun kibble?

    Seibertron has the Headmasters shown. Krok is beautiful... Quake's head actually reminds me of Hardhead's cartoon head, and is close to it in color too, so people might be able to use it for that too.

    Well done posting the link. He turn out much nicer than I thought he would.

    Krok's head looks a little out of proportion. Still looks nice though. Really excited for this wave. Pre-ordered everything but the legends and titanmasters.

    I was excited for Krok cos i wanted to display him with his comic pal Skullcruncher.

    But since they're sharing the same mold it's just going to be weird now.

    Still good looking toy tho.
