I'm not impressed. Hasbro, you can do better than this.

I might just end up getting Prime. The other two though...not really.

prime still looks like sh*t

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Yeah, looks like the mold is unfinished. Then again, you'll see the millions of Optimus Prime fanatics with their wallets ready...

Actually there's a (minimal) difference that I have noticed on Rollbar compared to Hound/Swindle..... from the pic posted Rollbar's spare tire/gate assembly is on his right leg while Hound/Swindle's assembly is on the left leg.

I really like Jeeps.

BTW, why couldn't they make something like the kitbash in Plowking's sig? I would have bought that without any reservations.

Think prime could be a lot better , the car looks great , but the shoulders???And is he really that short?

Assortment???

 

 

So we're back to the multiple toys per case situation.

 

You just love making things difficult for yourself don't you Hasbro?

 

 

Prime is meh.  The other two look like average level kitbashes

Glad to see that finally it's proven OP does have knees! Agree that ricochet should have been the RX-8 - dare say it's possible we will see a black RX-8 stepper as part of the BTA line though. (although technically the molds already been used 3 times cos of red meister) Rollbar - meh! He looks like hed make a better sandstorm to me - the colour scheme is accurate. Will be getting the BT version of the Ram (Ginrai) but think may pass on the other 2 as they don't even have new heads like swerve/decepticharge did. Then again, I said I'd pass on them too and ended up buying them a few weeks back.

These pictures are horrible. Prime looks better than the original pics, Rollbar looks like I expected, and Ricochet needs more gold.

so i am wondering who are the Scion and the Acura remolds gonig to be???

Seems as if both Takara and Hasbro are losing it.

 

The first alts were spot on with great hommages and excellent figures. Now all we getting is these repaints or oddly designed figures.

 

I mean Prowl's robot mode should have been based on the Subara/Mazda alts to have him resemble his G1 form. Then save this new design for a new bot, say Bumblebee or who knows?

 

As for the repaints, an organge jeep does not really work especially considering Swindle is yellow. Make him black and you got Trailbreaker.

 

I am only an alt completist (if I can even find then) but these I may pass up on. The Prime would make a good Ironhide though seeing we are not getting him.

 

Ricchoshet could be one of the battlechargers to keep it in the US G1 line.
