It'll be interesting to see what they do with the WFC game figures...

Love the highlights, and the way they show up in robot mode but are hidden in altmode.
Thank you! I'm planning on painting the other NEST figures in a similar style.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they decided to introduce WFC during a movie year. Buzzworthy is at least helping out with the recent NEST figures and Optimus reissue (and hopefully we hear more about Hatchet soon), but yeah, it's kinda lame that the Bay movies are getting neglected this year.

It's very lacking scale wise with the only toys of the leader characters being deluxes.

By "leader characters" he means Optimus Prime and Megatron. They're just Deluxes.Till-all-R1 wrote:william-james88 wrote:Till-all-R1 wrote:Besides I thought WFC was sufficiently covered, no?

Bumblebee's even bigger than both of them.

The WFC listings reffer to the high moon games, is that what you are talking about?

War for Cybertron the game, not War for Cybertron the Generations series. The original figure line did only five figures, all Deluxes, the new releases are going to take scale into account and do more characters.

It is though? Or are you talking about the TF7 in the listings? If so that's how hasbro always referred to the movies internally, with Bumblebee taking TF6. After all, officially no live action movie has used a number in it's title.

Speak of the Devil...
well Chefatron did have a SS86 Snarl review up a few minutes ago, but he removed it. I wonder if Hasbro finally is putting the hammer down?

I've not ever played the game nor seen ay images, but wouldn't he basically resembled WFC-S29?
I kick myself for not getting that one because of the prices it now commands, but at the time I thought $80 was bit much not understanding the full scope of what a Commander scale was. lol

Tiny legs, HUGE arms, and a Cybertronian spaceship vehicle mode with no launch base.

This was back when Hasbro was still of the mindset of "Redesign everything! Never use an existing design from the 80s! Kids today don't care about the 80s! Screw G1-accuracy!"Till-all-R1 wrote:Eak, sorry I asked. lol I'd have to pass on that, TBH.

I wouldn’t mind a little more of that mindset these days xD
I’m much more attached to the redesigns from the movies (and to a lesser extent Prime and WFC/FOC) than their G1 counterparts.

While my focus is always going to be geared towards G1 upgrades I'm not opposed to some of the new non animated or bay designs. Even though I'm not into ROTB Wheeljack as Wheeljack I can't deny it has some weird appeal to me, goofy glasses aside. I also kind of like Nightbird and even TLK Hod Rod and I very rarely like any of the Bay designs.

Seriously, give us new dudes in a new style. Fossilizers were the closest we got to that.

They could be done in the Selects line with redecos and minor retools of already existing figures. Wouldn't be that difficult. Now if you wanted all new molds for them, then yeah. You'll be waiting a while.Till-all-R1 wrote:I can't wait until they reinvent the Throttlebots. lol Not..

I think they meant reinvent like how the Dinobots were changed in Age of Extinction...which I would welcome, no problem with different takes on characters.

With o much to cover I'm sure several bots will get overlooked even if they are trying to do odd ones out like GoBots and such.

What about the Terrans?

Earthspark still feels too G1 for me, aesthetically.

Hope we see some of the other KSI bots in the future like Junkheap, but what I’d really like is an AOE Hound and Bumblebee to take ‘em down!
My next project (looking to upload very soon) is another bot from this group!

Very nice. I wish I would have army-built the KSI Sentry and Boss, at least gotten a 2nd boss. I hope we get more KSI bots, I'd love to build up an army of KSI bots.

Thanks! I got lucky and found a couple of KSI Sentries for cheap over Christmas Break, so I'll be doing a couple repaints! The first of these is this one in the black color scheme:

Thank you! It was fun to work on, I have one more Sentry repaint planned but it'll be a while since I left it back home. I am converting a TLK Nitro into a KSI Boss though, so there is still some more AOE rep coming soon!

This leaves TMII Dragon Megatron as the only 2022 toy not released in American big box stores, so far.
