Cyclonus looks better than I expected. Ultra Magnus looks loving incredible. Devastator looks amazing too, and there's way more paint apps than in that initial promotional image(or stickers, maybe).

Defensor looks like shiiiiiiiiiiiit. Like a big fat baby.

They all do, Hook's hinges are just under the wheels, on the front.

I'm gigglin' at the casual, relaxed pose they put Devastator in. He's there like, yeah, not in the mood for Devastating today. Might shoot some Autobots, might not.

Yeah, he's got some nice IDW touches, good looking individual bots and then they confirm to form a dopey babby boy. Classic Defensor.

Really liking the look of Rook. Groove is so weird too. He appears to flatten out symmetrically? That isn't what I expected at all.

I think this is the best set of reveals Hasbro has pulled off in ages.

Look at their elbows and shoulders. Specifically Hook's. Mixmaster's don't look to great either. And what is up with Long Haul's baby arms?

Scavenger, Bonecrusher and Scrapper all look pretty good, though.

Still, it's not like they won't spend most of their time as Devastator at my house. Devastator looks good.

Ultra Magnus looks pretty good I guess. If that can can transfer into a mini white Prime that Minimus can fit into, I'm sold for sure. Otherwise... mayyyyyybe.


I'm not seeing any of Defensor there?

I'm not really sold on how Defensor uses Groove as a chestpiece, I hope he's got a gun mode or something because that kinda does look like rear end.

No way. That cab clearly doesn't turn into anything except a torso. Unless this is straight up the most awesome figure Hasbro has produced in the modern era.

Not a fan of the weird wasp waist on Defensor but I'm willing to bet something's mistransformed there.

Streetwise is a very elaborate retool of Breakdown it seems, as is First Aid from Wildrider.

From a distance though, Voyager Cyclonus could be mistaken for Kickback if he was painted black and yellow.

First Aid is from Offroad (and will undoubtedly be Swindle later). Wildrider is presumably a remold of Dead End or Breakdown.

Daedalus Prime. Proteus Core. Deathadder Chroma. Gaming mice sound more like Transformers than the actual mouse Transformer that I have. His name is Rattrap, he's from Brooklyn and his turnons are bombs and sneaking.

IDW comic book thing from MTMTE around like issue 17-22 or so. Basically he's Magnus, Roberts take on the "white prime within" was to go a bit deeper.
