I'm pretty hype for these. I just got the Missing Link Optimus (Toy Version) Yesterday. Really love it. Such a nice update.

Oh... no. This is not for me. I'm really over the era of all characters are absolute dimwits. I'll have to pass and leave this for the age group it's targeted at. Hopefully we get back to thought-provoking kids stories at some point and stop dumbing things so far down.

I love it! Not sure what some are complaining about. Can't wait for more Armada characters.

There seems to be quite a bit of hate for this figure already. I guess because Junkyard supposedly shelf warmed, that means that people aren't going to want this one as well. Or something like that.
I just wish people would make up their minds. They either want all the G1 and then don't buy them or they want all the non-G1 and then don't buy. People paid crazy stupid prices for the previous deluxe Junkions. Sure one was an E-Hobby exclusive but the other two weren't. I just don't get it. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I want him for sure. Love the Junkions. I think people just love to complain man. Just don't buy the figure if you don't want it. I am loving all the options they've been putting out.

I'll pick up Scrapheap, but also that Rumble is super-cute. He kind of looks like a mini Bruticus. I'll definitely make room for him on one of my shelves.

Redecoing Cyberverse Hot Rod into Prowl is such an odd choice, especially because there was a Cyberverse Prowl. I see why with the chest deco and slight similarity to the head sculpt. My brain initially says no, but it is kind of an interesting curiosity.
-
Has anyone made a Bumper / Bumblejumper head for this mould? I would gladly pay for one.
-
Wow... that's some lazy stuff right there. Wheeljack was not a good choice to match Breakdown's look.

I very much appreciate the attention paid to the deco. I don't often hate on Hasbro's decos but their Strongarm releases were always pretty trash. Strongarm figures were some of Takara's actual major wins over Hasbro in the deco department. Not every Takara deco was better like some people like to make out but I did get all the Takara Strongarm figures. Or rather, the legion, the Minicon battle pack and the warrior figures.
I managed to find the Takara warrior Strong Arm at a local comic shop in box for $15 about a year ago. The shell was super yellowed, thus the price. Like you said, the deco is soo much better than the Hasbro version. I really like this Legacy version though. The addition of a nose makes her feel more in-universe to the Legacy style.

Well, that's certainly morbid, yet interesting. This scene broke my heart as a kid because Prowl and Ironhide were favorites of mine. Glad I was able to get the non-battle-damaged Earthrise version. I do prefer the painted windows though for longevity. On the fence on picking this one up. (I probably still will.)
-
I actually don't mind this at all. I appreciate the real-world aspects of "the why" we only get a recolor, but I also really appreciate that they make the extra effort to give the figures a new head or accessories for the retool/recolors now.
With 2 figures from RID 2000, I wonder how possible it is that a new Optimus and Magnus are on the way, and what I most want, a new Build Team.

Dreams really do come true! It seriously feels like they have a direct pipeline to my brain lately.

So Volcanicus and Dinoking will be around the sizes of TLK Infernocus and Power Core Combiners Grimstone. I actually like that very much. Being about the same size as Grimstone is really cool. Now I have to dig my Grimstone back out but luckily I still have time before we finish Volcanicus.
I really do hope that Hasbro does release Dinoking and not listen to some of the hate these figures are getting. It's not too bad but it's there.I 100% agree. I am always taken a bit by surprise by the amount of hate that spews from some of the fans. It's like they have no ability to pick and choose if they actually want to spend the money on something or not.
I have really been loving the little dinobots despite their flaws.
And yes! I have my Grimstone on display and can't wait to have 2 dinobot combiners.

I'm super excited for Metal Hawk. Praying for Lander, Diver, and Phoenix and trying not to look a gift horse in the mouth that all the pretenders are out of scale with each other.
-
I honestly can't wait for this guy.Armada got me back into collecting Transformers. It's got a special place in my heart even though I'm a G1'er.

MAN.
Wish they could have nailed Rhinox like they did this guy.
But that is an extremely tough design to pull off in toy form.Then again, I would have thought Inferno would be tough to do right, yet it seems like they've absolutely done him right.
Yeah, I honestly still prefer Generations T30 Rhinox. For what it is, the new one is fine, but still hoping for that definitive Rhinox someday.

Sometimes I was shocked by the poor quality of IDW's covers, but this series had some pretty great cover artists.

The only reason why I dont like it is, he is suppose to be a transmetal. So parts of him should be chromed out like the original.
I'm actually ok without the chrome which would flake off, though I guess that is part of the nostalgia.
I was more worried about the height, but now seeing they are very close in size, I'm digging it.

Don't rule out these characters as already been done. Hasbro has said we may see characters reappear in up and down scaled versions, Kind of a missed opportunity was to add a shell or something for the larger scale figures. Maybe they still can in Selects.
That's completely fair. I didn't think we'd see this superior SS86 Ironhide so soon after the Earthrise remold, but I'm SO happy we are. Plus SS86 is getting both the Core and Voyager mold of Ironhide/Ratchet.
I'm happy with more options.
Yeah, the vote for shells did show that people want shells back. I'm up for it.

I'm a little bummed Bomb-Burst is a core class, while Skullgrin is a deluxe. I always associate them with Submarauder since they were the trio from Masterforce (Blood, Dauros, and Gilmer.) Back in the days of bootleg anime vhs, I was a huge fan of Masterforce and loved these guys.
Looks great regardless and will be glad to have him in the collection.

Yes! I am so excited for both! 2 I missed in the original run. I do have Megalligator, but this was always a remold I wanted.

I can't wait to get this full set. Death Cobra is super exciting. I thought it was gonna be Leozack's sister from the manga, but this makes so much more sense.
