I' really hoping that Flame Convoy is going to be aligned to the Destrons. Then again all the beast formers have been evil so far. Is Sideways a Cybertron or Destron?

Considering that Flame Convoy's numbered "GD-07" this would make him a Destron. Sideways is numbered "GX-01" which means he's neither Cyberton or Destron.

 

BG: Red alert/Fast Aid is supposed to be a Deluxe.

the "X" factions have been aligned with Unicron in BWNeo, ML, and Sl so I wold't be suprised if Sideways is aligned with Unicron

i'm loveing galaxy defender more and more. I think I'm going to be bashing nitro prime in to arcee, or eleta1 his alt mode has a real nice arcee feel to it.

oh and who else thinks that wolfsnouts head looks exactly like bw dinobot?

Yes dude there are some identical or at least similar details from BW ... ( This shows the great impact BW had on the contruction and designes in TF´s and history....( I just LOVE BW)).... :tfevil

I'm really surprised no prototypes have surfaced on ebay yet. I wonder if they are taking extra measures to keep them from getting out.

Have you ever noticed its mostly Hasbro's proto's that surface? We don't see many BT protos or Takara only protos around. The only one I can think of is the the MP-1, but that might have been a Hasbro mold before they chopped the stacks.

Well, I'll pass on the beasts that are just the robot mode on all fours, as usual.

 

But the vehicles look GREAT. And they're finally getting some innovative transformations in, especially First Aid.

 

Looks like you got your wish, Transtech fans; guys like Autolander and Sideways seem to have taken a few design cues from TT.

 

I want more minicons!

anyone got a pic of WWI mindwipes alt mode? sideways' alt mode, if mem serves me correctly, looks just like mindwipes! we have another possible homage to WWI, chyeah! :)

ok with the addtion of the pics of inchup. When I will kitbash him, and pay hommage to the worlds greatest micromaster... BIG DADDY :P

All of these look sweet, and I can't wait to see them fully painted. I especially like Wolf Fang's multiple homages (G1 Weirdwolf, BW Cheetor and Energon Battle Ravage). That is teh sweet. My wallet says "Oh no, but...oh, yes..."

dinoshout's robot mode looks A LOT like the space pirates from Metroid Prime.

also the wolf's beast mode reminds me of wierdwolf
