I'm loving the Highbrow and Tomahawk figs, and I used to really like the terradive mold until I saw the real colors. The first pics of him were a nice bronze, but now they look a little more like Sunkist Orange.... not sure if I want him anymore.

Highbrow, Tomahawk and Terradive are all very nice, otherwise I'm not feeling Hasbro's offerings on this front.

TerraDive looks fantastic, the Plane and Chopper however, their faces aren't movie enough for me, maybe if I have an appropriate head switch or something...

So I guess out of the new ones, I'll be getting TerraDive and HailStorm.

The Tail-Spin / Crimson Skies look on Highbrow is interesting, but given a choice I would have rather had a more realistic representation of the P-38 Lightning.

Also, it seems pretty clear that this is an homage to the Gobots's Guardian Bolt, rather than to G1 Highbrow. The colors and the alt mode loosly match Bolt's toy, and the face kind of vaguely reminds me of his animation model, whereas he bares no similarity to his namesake, outside of having two props.

Whoa!

Looks like they're starting to deliver what we want!

As someone who is fond of film-accuracy and who doesn't yet have Red Rampage and a Ravage, would it be a good idea to get the 'Rampage Among the Ruins' set...(Or stick to my 'Sea Attack Ravage' and Takara 'Desert Combat Rampage' plan...?)

Just noticed that Tomahawk's spring-firing missile launchers have folding clips on them which aren't used to attach the launchers to his vehicle or robot mode. I'm thinking it's storage for the missiles, so they can be kept under the sponson wings without having to keep the spring launchers cocked.

Which is kind of neat.

Edit:

Are Terradive and Sunspot supposed to match?

Guessing Terradive will be remolded as Ramjet, since we already got Thrust and Dirge as ROTF deluxes.

Finally! A Fallen with a proper head, proper articulating hands, a WEAPON, and a color scheme that doesn't suck! I will buy that and throw my other one into the vacuous depths of my storage closet.

I notice that more and more of the new bots and cons are actually coming with guns and other assorted weapons, which leads me to believe that someone is actually listening at Hasbro's helm now.

I thought that was just a repaint, but they did remold the head and hands, and gave him the staff. The original mold is a huge failure, but I might get that one on clearance.

Great looking group of figures. Blurr looks cool enough to warrant a second purchase of the mold. The Fallen looks WAY better than the original one. Axor and Dlx Rescue Ratchet look really good as well.

Tomahawk, Terradive and Highbrow all look awesome, with cool weapons and great head molds. Highbrow's head in particular is great cause it looks like he's smiling cause he thinks he's better than you.

Tomahawk, Terradive and Highbrow are awesome. I ama sucker for ariel bots so they are must haves. Breacher loos great, and the fallen isnt too bad. Superior to the first attempts but don't know how i feel about the paint scheme.

Oh wow, Highbrow looks amazing! I am a huge fan of WWII planes, and that is one of the most amazing TFs I have ever seen. I'm really excited about this.

I think I may be skipping PCC so I can collect Generations & HFTD.

Speaking of Generations, Blurr looks pretty good, but for some reason I expected him to look a little better. Don't know why. But I will be buying him for certain. Love the guns.

Agreed. I'd love to see a Wreckers Perceptor to go along with that sniper rifle.

I wish I hadn't wasted my money on the old The Fallen, but this one has the accurate face design which I HATE, but the new staff and Hands are awesome....hmmm.

Re: More Hunt For the Decepticons Images from Botcon (1090970)
Posted by Noideaforaname on June 26th, 2010 @ 10:47pm CDT

There's rumor that the Fallen's face is removable..... if that's true I'm SO getting him, regardless of having the same basic mold.

He doesn't seem to have the head-flames/solar panels, instead a lighter-colored neck, and his crown has an apparent joint and split. But I may be looking far to into it.

Lockheed P-38 Lighting.

A very alternate history version of the P-38 Lightning, what with the stubby, nonfunctional wings, the oversized weapons, the pushed back cockpit, the Star-Trek-style dish array on what passes for the nose, and the generally cartoonish proportions. Really doesn't fit with the rest of the movie toys. Although to be fair I guess Mindwipe's Altmode isn't exactly accurate either.

I have no problem with off vehicle modes, but the HEADS, why are they so un movie looking? Doesn't fit in at all, I hope there's heads that can switch in for those...

Re: More Hunt For the Decepticons Images from Botcon (1091011)
Posted by MatrixWithinUs on June 27th, 2010 @ 1:25am CDT

I figure with headrobots around, they might make an add on for highbrow, like they did for hardhead. Highbrow isn't that g1 looking though, so I dunno.

On another note, I'm surprised so many people seem to be disappointed that highbrow isn't more movie-verse looking. I thought a lot of people were tired of the movie figs. Things are so jumbled up it's hard to keep track of who is for what and who hates everything. I'm loving the generations line... What ever figs I can't get there then I'll fill in with bayformers until I can get a better homage for my collection. Oh well

I'm personally very glad for the return to more conventional-looking faces. I was definitely tired of the bug heads. It's really great that we're on a break between films, because Hasbro has a chance to be really creative and just make great toys, as opposed to being constrained by screen accuracy.

Well, it mostly has to do with that I got into(as in where I started actually learning about it) TransFormers BECAUSE of the first movie. Plus, I prefer their design, I guess that's a bit odd apparently o_O

Though I must agree with Kirbenvost, it's good to see some creativity, in fact the green plane guy(HighBrow, was it?) looks fantastic, and I wouldn't be bugged by the face except that it's supposed to be a movie figure, it's face doesn't fit in.

I think the reasoning is that they're trying to find a happy medium between classics-look and movie-look.

I for one am pleased that they're going this way as I would not be getting all these figures if they had movie-esque heads. Though I can certainly understand your frustrations.

Really like the Rampage among the ruins set, especially Rampage in the movie accurate colors and painted hydraulics is a nice touch and Ravage looks good too.

Hailstorm is awesome buy on site and why does Hasbro have to make a cool looking bot into a clumsy fool! AARRRGGGHH HASBRO!!

Terradive and Tomahawk bought on site for sure.

Payload is a must for kitbashing and does ANYONE the bio for this guy? i know he's matched with Night Ops Ratchet and Jolt from this line.

Sea Spray bought on site

Banzaitron is a MAYBE, but really diggin the new colors.

The rest is meh.

Ah ok that makes sense, I can always switch the heads anyways

Though I think if they added a few lines or something it could keep the current look while having enough detail to look movie-ish. Mostly the Tomahawk guy(I keep wanting to call him RotorStorm for some reason....), his face is just kind of smooth, with a small change like lines(which would make his face look similar to being fit together with metal), it could work for both looks.

Honestly, this is one of the things that draws me so much to Hailstorm. I very much see the fable of Golem in this figure. Large, powerful, lumbering and unintelligent. I must resist the urge to buy 7 of him. If they make a smaller, rabbi-like overlord for Hailstorm, I'm on it. :APPLAUSE:

Pure win. I have a list of 5 must buys and 7 possibles at this point. Looks like more craigslist sales of my current collection to free up some cashhhhh!

Really? HailStorm makes me think powerful and smart kinda. However movie guys that weren't in the movie are generally planned as new characters for me. In this case:HailStorm is gonna be an extra Combaticon, an old guy type.
