Anyways, Barricade looks pretty decent for a One Step, but I think I'm still gonna grab the Deluxe over it.

See guys, this is my exact definition of retropjip.
Sorry Bombshelldabug, but at least you can know you arent alone.

The good news is that the Legions may get all new molds... except Bumblebee.

They werent bad toys. They served their purpose and could at least transform.

Or if shooting hero Optimus is too much, have Megatron just take flight, then show Optimus jumping up and down, swiping at empty air with his little sword. 'Hey, no fair! Come back here!'

They'll just do it like Beast Wars Season 2. Where even if your weapon is essentially a Pizza Cutter, it still somehow shoots lasers!

With Beast Wars it was a violence concern. But let's be real here, melee weapons have been prevalent in this franchise since the beginning. Sherman Dam anyone?

Isn't it wonderful how they make each size so amply stocked with Bumblebee & Optimus Prime toys to buy - they've never done that before now have they.

So! we ARE getting Warpath(which may or may not be the bot in the trailers with treads on his shoulders + hopefully he'll be the WW1 tank)

Aye pal, my mistake, i added that above
i wonder what class size Cogman will be? + it's cool that we're getting our first Aston Martin transformer & he's supposed to be a headmaster

Wait, I'm confused.
How is this:
The same mold as this?
I guess they may be similar, but there are only so many ways to turn a car into a humanoid robot.

Exactly. I'm not a huge fan of the transformation because of the amount of kibble and the fact that the mold feels smaller and lighter than other deluxes. Plus, if they would do it, that would make a very similar toy for 3 straight movies for 3 different characters. That bores me a lot

I can understand that, and said as much, they are similar, but again there are only so many ways you can turn a car into a humanoid.
Most car into robot transformations end up feeling similar. I'm not saying its bad you're tired, I just don't see how its possible to make it feel all that different from an engineering standpoint.
Its possible you are just burnt out on movie aesthetic and I can understand that perfectly.

See, I actually like the movie aesthetic, I just don't like that mold that much. It didn't feel that good on Roadbuster and then they did it again on Lockdown. I'm ok with them making multiple uses of a transformation scheme if it is a good and satisfying one and can do something sort of different each time (each Bumblebee feels different and enjoyable to me despite a similar look) but on a mediocre mold it feels.. exhausting.
I know there's only so many ways to Transform a bot to a car, but look at TR. They've some some really good things with the transformations over there despite similar looks between bots.
It also sort of stings that the same mold could potentially be used for 3 different characters that really deserved better. Roadbuster deserved to have an armored car look that he didn't get as a deluxe; Lockdown was the main villain and got a disappointing small figure, and then Hot Rod is finally making it into the movies and he could be using a mediocre mold as well.
It all feels wrong to me on that mold level.

No clue, but there is a reason this isnt on the front page.
Posted by RAR on February 13th, 2017 @ 11:30pm CST
Though I think releasing them as a gift set makes more sense as other wise you end up as a whole wave of toys that look similar (likely why they changed the colours in the 1st place).
It looks like the sheer amount of repaints in this line is going to be ridiculous.
I hope they make a decent Dragon before they kill the line off or at least do one eventually.
But boy is Hasbro missing a trick here by not making "Legacy" stuff like 1970's Bumblebee as it is the 10th Anniversary after all.
But perhaps Taakra might be Movie Masterpiece mad and make all the Bumblebee (or most of them) so they will make the AOE ones and the 1970's one as well.
I just really want a 1970's one as the Deluxe isn't good enough in my view.

You'd be surprised. No less reliable than Allspark or TFW2005 in any case. Granted the anonymity means there's potential for bullsh!tting, but it also makes it an ideal place for leaks to spring (because again, anonymity).
I can't speak for /co/ (and mentioning Transformers on /tv/ will get you laughed off the board) but all in all the Transformers threads on /toy/, whilst occasionally mired in dreck, are fairly reasonable on the whole. Certainly better than my experiences on Allspark.

Though I will note that we have now gone with both the Headmaster line featuring Triple Changers and a Decepticon Cybertronian Jet/Dragon Triple Changer without getting Snapdragon.

Was there? The only ones I recall being very 'shellformery' in the main line were Galvatron (cos impossible to reproduce his movie transformation but still a nice figure) and Crosshairs (which I love cos they use it as his duster). AoE had some of my favorite figures ever such as the Deluxe Bee, Voyager Grimlock and of course Evasion Prime and am very fond of various other ones like Voyager Hound, Deluxe Drift, Deluxe Crosshairs (as I already stated), some of the other Dinobots and the Armour Knight version of Leader Prime.
This new Megatron does look interesting though.

There was also Leader Optimus, arguably the biggest example of a shellformer since BWN Break.

Check out the size of the dragon behind Megatron and Optimus! Not as big as Titan Trypticon, but massive nonetheless (unless those are some tiny figures in the foreground). That link is also calling Megatron Galvatron.

Which Optimus is that anyway? It isn't the Voyager. A "???-Step" probably?

The red portion looks to have a double hinge on the bottom an open gap under that. I think if it's real it might turn into some sort of Legends playset with the red part making a ramp.

Could be could be! Playsets have been around for previous movie lines, so it might be one indeed.
We'll find out tomorrow, in any case!
As for OP - do you mean the big one or the truck at the front?

I'd assume that is a Leader class figure of OP, which is bound to happen because OP.
