Well, technically, no, it isn't weird. Silverbolt is the best torso figure released, any variant will inevitably make a nice, solid torso.
It just didn't really live up to any standard or hope we had for it. We know hasbro could've done better, and we really do deserve more remolding (and probably an editted paint scheme), as all but two figures are just more retools for the next 2 waves (most of which seem pretty lazy at this point - wheeljack with no paint, blast-off having very little paint apps).
So, it's not weird, you're just in the vast minority.
And as for Computron/Betatron it's really just a matter of paint. I mean a different head would have been better but there isn't that much difference in the torsos that a little paint would not have fixed. HOWEVER if they ever do release technobot limbs Betatron will probably look a great deal better. It's a lot of red but hey, Computron had a lot of red on his chest. Not the right shade but with the right limb colors he'lol look much better. I'm holding out hope.
I'm with you. I really want a computron, and I think this is how we are going to get him. I am holding out hope for the rest of the team
I think we can all agree that there is enough substantial evidence to prove that computron is/should be coming our way, most likely as a boxset, or interspersed throughout tw
I kinda hope that (if) they release the rest of the Technobots individually and not as a boxset.
I'm still half debating if its worth having a kitbash back up plan with figures that are being released.

Man those PE hands/feet look great on old Galvy. Give me the bad case of the wants.

Unfortunately, that will most like not be possible. And even if it was, then the Lynx head would be permanently facing down (due to the combined mode and the legs facing backwards.

Indeed they do. I do kinda wish that he had his own team, though.

And I cannot wait for additional Sky Lynx images. Super excited for this guy!

Why do we need a pruple sky regin also could you post an actual picture of the suggested repaint plus I don't get why we need one so badly over a suggested repaint seemlingly as much as some characters like Battle Gaia, Guard City, or Ruination

Why? You ask;
BECAUSEHE LOOKS EPIC AS F#$K!
That's why, the combined mode looks sick, like an Egyptian god, and I need an evil one that looks as appropriately epic (sorry generic american flag color scheme doesn't do it for me )
But this is the purple griffon:
And this is what it would be if it became a retool of cw sky lynx:
But honestly, people don't want whole teams of recolors, we just want cool torso's so we can actually scramble our 's, and sky lynx is new, and different, and has a gorgeous combined mode, so people are just drawn to it.

The image works now, and I can see why you want to get it though; but it would beed some retooling for the the wings, paws, and head it probably would be a repaint from takara knowing that hasbro probably wouldn't do it (like betatron (copyright name lost computron) probably isn't getting limbs in all honesty its probably just gonna be takara who will do computron), and If i had to choose a Battle Gaia and a guard City or a purple griffin repaint I would choose the Battle Gaia and Guard City figure over that but ut still would be neat to see that purple griffin

I suppose he might work as as some other odd things too like Flame Convoy or Cryotech since he is sort of dragon like or even That green Griffon deco from Beast Hunters.
I think the shuttle mode having a big bird head on the front would be sort of funny.

God Fire Convoy was the one who asked him the question that led to him getting all philosophical.

That would be great, but most likely no. I don't think they've shown a lynx mode in the comics and that's probably the yardstick for comparison from now on, along with the usual manufacturing costs reasons.

Honestly, I gotta say, with brawl being the mess he is, I'm actually not feeling that pressured to get these guys, except for Swindle
Just wish they had more paint apps, especially Swindle's alt mode...

I have £30 in vouchers that could be used for Toys R Us, and if they still have that buy one get one half price deal on the deluxes that they're currently running here, I could afford to take a bit of a hit reselling it on.
Just don't want to miss out on the silver cheat variant before he's replaced with the olive version and starts to boost in price.

Pfft, while I agree that (most) of the legends are quite well designed, I wouldn't discount the combiners themselves just because you don't like them for whatever reason. Both the deluxe and torso figures (with the exclusion of MM) are very well engineered to do what they were intended to.
Case in point, the aerial bots. Solid 'bot modes, passable (at the very least) alt mode - I'm quite fond of them - and a stunning combined mode; Silverbolt is a work of art as a torso...

I think they are both a mixed bag. I think Jetfire and Magnus were well executed leaders while the upcoming Stripes looks to be as much garbage as the recent windcharger. Also, both are more expensive than they should be with 10$ now being the legends price bracket and they dont even come with weapons (compared to only the year before when they had a whole new triplechanging targetmaster to go with them). And some legends dont even have thigh swivels which completely ruins some of them for me (like the seekers and the swerve mold). My basic Terrorsaur had better articulation than these legends toys. And I could go without the sea of repaints/retools in both classes too.
