Kinda cool, but kinda ticks me off. Will think twice now before I go and buy anymore Transformers. Would much rather have these then the ones we all bought previously.

More repaint, thats old news for Hasbro.

New head sculpts, well there's something to be said for that, I personaly like the origionals better, but at least they're trying, not that hard, but trying none the less

man, that is dissapointing! megatron looks 100X better, though!

Too bad the new head sculpts look like garbage.

ONce we figure out who will be getting what toys (exclusives or not) I might consider getting some of them if I can sell some of my current ones, which of course, will have to be for next to nothing.. lol

Front Paged and Credited.

So it seems we now know why the Animated line has been pushed back so far, Hasbro wants to milk the Movie line for all it is worth.

I will be skipping the majority, if not all of this line for two reasons, firstly one version of most of the movie toys is more than enough and secondly to discourage Hasbro from making better versions after releasing inferior quality versions of the exact same products for 6-9 months beforehand.

*signed* I've decided to just repaint what I need to.

Well, maybe just Jazz. And Bumblebee.

Might want tha Prime head and sword too.

Ahghhh.. must stand my ground.

wow. Hasbro can really make the old toys go blonk in comparison to the new ones. how come they couldn't have included Prime's sword in the original release? and how come the paint apps may these toys look freaky awesome?

yeah right, i'll end my rant here. will get stumped again by the others who'll hit us again with Hasbro-this, Hasbro-that mumbo-jumbo and say we're whining again.

i give up on the movie line. just not worth going the extra mile, only to have something much better replace the old ones. that is, until i can get my grubby hands on some of the Autobots...

Ha! I knew it! That is why I never bought the original leader megs. That and he looked really really stupid.

That's how Hasbro gets you!

Optimus' new head looks kind of weird. Megatron looks a lot better than the original release. Wonder how well these will sell, or if people will avoid buying more of the same figures.

Look forward to seeing what they all look like.

Can someone mirror the images? The link now says "Under construction..."

I really don't want to buy anymore movie molds. I guess I'll wait to see them in person before I decide to buy.

nice!!!:grin:

Defintiely getting Starscream and Blackout (if they do his paint right this time). Just painted my Leader Megs tonight and customized him (better than this looks) and I see nothing really better about Barricade, Ironhide, Jazz, or Prime.

Well, Well, Well, I guess missing out on the original leader prime did pay off for a better opportunity!

Thanks so much, StarScreamer!

Indeed, I have to see these in person before I decide to buy. I see no difference with Barricade, Jazz, and Ironhide.

The thought of buying Leader Prime and Megs again makes me gag, but they so desperately needed the metallic finish (and I'm too damn untalented to do it myself). Prime seems to have a different head mold, and it looks funny from that shot...again, I'll need close-ups to make a final judgment.

O.k all this premeium series repaints and still no Leader SS, BC or bigger blackout?

Well, I mean, there's no bigger Starscream, BC, of BO to repaint into a premium figure.

A while back I posted here bemoaning the fact that fan repaints look so much better than the official versions.

Then they give us these which are an improvement on what they offered before, but typical fanbitch, I still don't like it.

I guess I'm bored of the Movie-formers at this point in time, even though there's still a few good ones that have yet to show up over here. Besides there's no guarantee that these will show up here either, so I guess I'll stick with what I have. Bring on the animated figures already.

Holy crap will the Leader versions be out in Australia?

I wonder when it's coming out in Hong Kong too?

No.

We aren't playing this game.

This isn't Star Wars.

No.

So they managed to give Megs a new head but failed to give him a new flap to conceal it in 'jet' mode? Daaaamn.

But otherwise he looks great. Pity these will never see a UK release.

getting Megatron and Jazz.
My Prime is already shiny. though He coulduse some shine in his bumper. But repainting it with silver is way cheaper.
Maybe Bumblebbe but I like the stealth version more.
damn you Hasbro and your repaints.

Getting Blackout and Ironhide.
I'll get reprolabels for Barricade.
Starscream is a yes.
Finally a silver Jazz.
Finally movie accurate Megatron
And Prime just has yellow soldiers and a new head.
...and a sword. dammit.
I'll have to try selling my leader classes to my friends.
darn I'm gonna have to get a new yellow Bumblebee anyways. his shoulders fell off.
good thing Animated won't come out till June.
