In other news we have some updated shots of the upcoming Windblade kit expected to be out in February in US after multiple delays. And in a little bit of under the radar catchup we have some first looks at Soundwave, Shockwave, and Arcee kits that were displayed in November at SDCC Special Edition. Interestingly while Arcee and Soundwave have heavily stylized designs Shockwave is purely G1 cartoon inspired.
And finally, it isn't just about the models. We're also treated to an early look at Kuro Kara Kuri Cyclonus and Starscream!

Already got my windblade preordered and am really just impatient for it to show up.
I might be interested in that acid storm and I really don't know why.

Acid Storm looks great too, though given I paint my kits the base colours don't hugely matter.

I am pretty sure that by the time the new colored images come in, we might get a better understanding of how the figure will look. In the meantime, we can only speculate and wait until further notice.

Seriously, why the giant codpieces?
...could they be compensating for something...? Hmmm

It's fan service for the female fans.
I can't wait for that Arcee to come out. I already have Windblade ordered. I'll get Arcee as soon as she's available to order.

Well said!
Fan service can go both ways.
And some other ways too.

Nope, this is an original design, in the style of their Optimus, Starscream, etc.

Then it's even weirder that the toes are designed like that. A non-transforming, highly stylized and original design, but made to limit articulation (in the shot the feet can't lay flat to the ground, like, no ankle tilt)?

Oh I imagine the ankles have tilts, this is a rough look in comparison to the final product. There will be ankles, these figures have had 3 or 4 joints in the torso alone, they won't leave those out

TOO MUCH ENERGON! wrote:I mean, it looks fantastic. But considering the price, the fact that it doesn’t transform, and looks nothing like the actual Rodimus Prime character; I have to wonder who this figure is actually for.
Not Rodimus Prime, just Rodimus. The base figure is how Hot Rod looks later in the IDW comics after adopting the name Rodimus. The extra parts are unique to this figure but seem to be reminiscent of Cyberverse Bumblebee for some reason.
They already made a model kit.
Hasbro will never make a figure themselves in this design so even though these don't transform they will sell to fans of the designs that can afford them.

I got the kit, still need to build it, and I love this version too, especially with all the optional armor bits

Are you refering to this?
At one point, Rodimus looked like that in the IDW comics

It’s a great model kit. Get one, you won’t be unhappy with it. Just get a stand for it too as it’s not too stable.

I kinda regret voiding my preorder at Age 3 & Up. I found her expensive at 70$CAN plus taxes and shipping, but now she's 100$+ everywhere...

The thing I really hate when ordering anything from BBTS is that I always, ALWAYS get hit by customs and I must go far to an unusual post office to get my package. But if I buy only her and the box is small....
Can I risk it?
Oh F it, I will. If I'm spared of customs, I'll be saving around 15$CAN than if I'd bought it from A3&U. If not, I'll pay 10$CAN more. Not too shabby when you think about it.

I also found out that there's a second shipment of her coming to stores so that batch is on preorders.
I have Amazon.com

Obviously, the links are a must too.
Then NEWS IT!

I wasn't going to get anymore Flame Toys models because I got stung by Windblade breaking immediately on me. I barely even handled her.
However... that beast wars Megatron is looking AWESOME

That Arcee is bought the second the preorder goes up! Can't wait for her to be delayed for another year because puritans complain about her!
That shockwave is a pass.
