I think the Renders are a bit naughty. but I consider them more or less a fair representation - and better than grey scale images perhaps.

Oh and I'd like a Fangry Deluxe from Twinferno before the line ends.

Kurona wrote:Yeah, agreed; the CGI renders are just awful. Hasbro's stock photography wasn't great - mistransformations everywhere - but at least you could get a good idea of the figure and they were kinda hilarious at times.

I'd take a mistransformed photo over an ugly render any day.

Yay! Misfire has a black/gray helmet! It's still not an IDW head but oh well.

Shapeways has you covered, pricy but worth it.

Not as bad as at the event, but he still needs a red visor.

I actually prefer the event. It may not be from the best angle and possibly might be a painted prototype, but the pink doesn't look puke-worthy like in the renders.

Also I get some sort of uncanny valley effect from these new ones. Not sure why.

So you prefer him to have a magenta helmet instead of the dark gray?

Especially since they now have a new high detail black acrylic plastic that would be perfect for his black helmet.

On a bit of a tangent, could anyone give me Quake's product code? You know where to find it on the packaging, but it should be under the cockpit piece as well. It's part of interesting thought that involves Wave 4 having 5 figures, but Wave 5 only 3 (so far).

Heres you goes JelZers!


#C1095 the imprinted # is 63421 (can't remember if that's important too)

Also Quake was kind enough to hold this pose so I could get the shot.

Ah, so he does fall in line with his wave. I had a suspicion that Quake was moved up a wave, but the numbers say otherwise. Thanks a bunches!

Anyone else have a screw fall out of their Powermaster Prime but not find where it came from?

It's not the one that connects the trailer to the cab is it? That's the only thing I can think of for you.

No, I've searched all over the figure and can't seem to find a place for it. I'm starting to think it was an extra screw that somehow wound up in the box. The figure doesn't seem to be having any problems.

Couldn't resist.

Misfire and Slugslinger look pretty good, except for those gormless FACES....

They **** HAVE TO BE THERE!

Like I said before, if they make a whole line where the voyagers are triple changing headmasters and dont give us the 2 triple changing headmasters then Hasbro would be the biggest tease since my summer of 06 girlfriend.

You are SO right.

You are SO amusing.

You are both SO weird.

Yeah, their faces are... not what I'd call great. Which is sad, being in a line that's literally all about heads, and that comes off the back of what is often seen as the line with some of the most on-point headsculpts ever. Seriously, if there was one thing you could say for CW (and most of TR so far, when the helmet gimmick doesn't cause issues *coughGalvatroncoughBlastercough*) it's that the headsculpts were incredible. (Not that these are objectively bad faces per se, whether I like them or not (I don't), but for sure they're not as on-point for the characters as CW Megs or TR Cerebros.)

Actually I don't really care which. The dark grey helmet does look better, but overall renders look off.

Where did this come from though? I've seen a bunch of discussion but this was a completely different topic.

You know, because of frag grenades and Snapdragon is a t-rex...

O SNAPdragon Why didn't I think of this before?!

Hey, if a lion/space battleship can share parts with a jet/aircraft carrier then anything can have a beast alt mode worked into it.

Hmm, that looks like it might work pretty well! Depending how they play their cards I reckon they could even get away with a minor retool between Snapdragon and Dinogeist, and I'd go for both - one to have Snapdragon and the other for that sweet color scheme! (And impossibly cool head-crest, in both modes.)

Though that jet mode looks familiar too:

It actually reminds me far more of...

...Broadside...
