Tigertron is an interesting surprise. Not certain, but he looks interesting and I would like to see more pics. I'm sold on the alt mode but unsure about the bot mode.

I think that's Thundertron, not Tigertron, Steeljaw or Leobreaker

Er...yeah, that guy. I don't care what his name is, he just looks potentially cool. :lol:

So he's a new character from the Prime universe? As long as they're more cybernetic beast than actual beast, I'm okay with best modes.

I wish the pics were better but better than nothing I suppose.

Could that be the Hasbro or Takara Shockwave we see there? :VEHI:

The lion looks awsome can't wait to see some paint and a close up on him , what line is he from ?.

Ultra Magnus looks cool and shockwave looks very small.

Thundertron: Hoping he was a jet, but I honestly don't care. As long as he doesn't have a crappy paint job. I probably jinxed that, and he's gonna have a crappy paint job. You're welcome -.-

Ultra Magnus: .................................................... :BOOM:

YES!!!!!!!!!! FRICKEN YES!!!! He'll totally go with the other Wreckers, not to mention with Kup, Arcee, and Hot Shot (I guess, if you want to consider him Hot Rod), they're setting up a good 1986 movie collection in Prime. We just need a Springer.

MECH Breakdown: Yeah, that's cool. The original Breakdown dominates all his repaints for me.

Swerve: Nice representation of a classic G1 character, but I don't think anyone named "Swerve" should be an armored truck. If he got his own mold down in the deluxe class (I would've also been happy with a Gears repaint :DANCE:

), maybe I would grab him. I think I'll pass on him unless I for some reason can't buy Breakdown -_-

Unicron: :O Gimmie Dat, n00b!!!!

Nemesis Prime: I can predict the future! Watch this; Japan Exclusive! The end! (I sitll like that figure though. eBay will be my personal friend if these don't hit the US)

That's Thundertron, he's the leader of the space pirates from Exodus. (Aligned continuity)

In all fairness, "Hot Shot" is Hot Rod/Rodimus. He was renamed for the sake of copyright.

While the copyright element obviously determined the decision to use Hot Shot instead of Hot Rod, the fact that the Classics Universe line included both a Rodimus and a Hot Shot, each in its own mold, strongly suggests that they are in fact two distinct characters who merely shape a personality type.

Also, the TF Energon cartoon and toyline both featured Rodimus and Hot Shot as completely separate individuals.

I mean only for the Aligned/Prime continuity. In each other continuity, they're different characters.

I'm aware. But not everyone likes that idea, so that's why I said "if you want to consider him Hot Rod"

What's the pink/purple thing next to optimus in the first pic? looks like a megatron repaint maybe???

by **ILL-Star** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 2:11 pm

Nemesis Prime in the show is actually colored closer to Shattered Glass OP. It's kinda hard to tell, but NP's upper body is a reddish purple. My opinion could be off, but he's certainly not the typical black.

Unicron's skeletal wings and giant horns are wicked! Do we know what his alt mode is going to look like?

News Credits: 2 · by **NovaSentinel** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 2:36 pm

Does Ironhide only have one cannon? it'll be dissapointing if he does...
Excited for the jet vehicon (love how his chest is identical to steve's) and of course Breakdown <3
Altogether now- HASBRO PLEASE!

It is supposed to be a space barge of some kind. Kinda looks like the ships from the John Carter film.

I hope somebody can take a good pic of the cardboard cutout behind him though. Could it be he can combine with Optimus?

A gigantic Rock Lord :lol:

Seriously though, Medic Knock Out and Megatron Darkness I'm skipping since I have the Hasbro versions, and I'll wait on War Breakdown. Hades does look wicked as a cape.

And it looks like Jet Vehicon has the same Micron as the regular Vehicon, Noji. Surprise, surprise.

by **gothsaurus** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 2:45 pm

Yes, this is a cool Unicron. But I still have to say I'd trade it and a Ben Franklin that unreleased BWNeo Unicron instead. :-?

News Credits: 23 · by **Prime Evil** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 2:47 pm

Really looking forward to replacing my Classics Ironhide with this new better looking one.

Jet Vehicon looks awesome and will definitely buy online. (sad that I do most shopping online anymore.)

Thundertron is bough as well as Breakdown in MECH colors. That just looks so badass!!

The rest I will wait to see more if I need them or not.

That's AM Voyager Megs.

Yeah, in the original picture of Unicron, we saw him "combined" with OP...somehow. It was surmised at the time that Unicron turns into some sort of turret/armor thing.

by **gothsaurus** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 3:01 pm

Whaaaa. Boney Unicron merged with Prime? It would take a miracle to make that look good! Not to mention that's like making a Starscream or Megatron and Prime combiner. Like, when would those two even hang out?
