other forums are full of hasbro shills praising BH and calling anyone who says otherwise trolls. it's pretty hilarious.

 

 

I guess I'm a mega troll then. I spotted them at TRU on Tuesday, gave them a solid look over(No Laserback however, but probably still a no go from me all the same), walked smooth out. The new pix of Smokescreen however, I can get with that mold.

Yeah, I really want Smokescreen. :) I ordered Arms Micron Smokescreen just before the announcement for BH Smokescreen came out - d'oh! So now I have an AM Smokescreen. Ah well... at least the Micron is a neat tribute to Devcon (it's the ONLY good thing about it, the rest of that little figure is pure crappity crapness on a craphat). Don't even start me on how stupid the stickers are... or that it's just a very bland repaint/retool of Knock Out. Gah! Had I known about BH Smokescreen at the time, I wouldn't have bothered ordering AM Smokescreen. C'est la vie.

 

I'll get Ripclaw and Las--, Lazerback (sigh)... the others don't interest me in the slightest. These toys aren't out here now -- probably won't be for months.

Generations Wheeljack is a great figure!!! But PRiD is just as great, and here's why. He's mobile looking and his bot form is perfect for him being a Wrecker. Generations Wheeljack's bot form is perfect for the mad scientist look. He doesn't look much like he'd be a fighter. It's a perfect homage to the bulky, squat like G1 Wheeljack. Now BHs Wheeljack is a little extreme. He has all the spikes hanging off of him, he has a Serpentor like head as in it looks like his face is inside of a snake's mouth. His Vehicle form looks like it's from a Mad Max movie. I did buy this figure, but only because Wheeljack is in my top ten favorite Transformers. I will not be opening him and he'll be in my packaged display. We're just lucky WJ didn't get all the primitive and off the wall colors. He keeps his white, red and green paint with a few gold and black apps. He also has a marbled blueish black color splashed on the front of his car mode. I can only imagine him plowing through Predacons and it's the visceral carnage of their oil blood splattering all over him.

I like some of the figures being offered in the BH line, Smokescreen and Predaking being worth mentioning. Predaking has reminded me of how much I love beast-formers, and makes me wonder why Universe Razorclaw and Cybertron Scourge were put into the container of Transformers marked as sell-off. It's a good thing that diddn't happen.

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
