5 Deluxes? Would be cool and very much like the old toy. But I'm not sure if I don't prefer Sea Wing to be the sword.

I'd say Nautilator gets the downsize into legends. Isn't he normally the one they shaft into being the gun?

I really like the space winnebago mode, it's awesome! And it all tabs in properly, it looks slick, and it's totally unique to my collection.
Hot Rod's car mode is pretty good too. the only small gripe I have is that his windshield and hood are ever so slightly gapped. But that's really it.
Hot Rod mode is the weakest mode in my opinion. But it's still not bad. It's mainly in the arms that things are wonky.
Rodimus Prime mode is awesome. I love how Hot Rod transforms into the torso and shoulders for Prime mode. It's awesome! And to me, it's a bit more creative than just folding into a box and inserting into someones chest. This thing is fun and he is awesome!
They did not have Optimus, but I plan to use him to order the SG Roddy as quick as I can.
As a side note, it is going to be so much fun to swap some parts considering there are 4 pieces to each Rodimus. Make a half black/half outlandish Prime

Movie line:
Not interested because I siriously hate the movie and beginning to start to really dislike the newer movie designs. They don't look like Transformers anymore, they're just like big men in sci fi spacesuits. They look like Power Rangers/The Flash/Cyborg from the past movies.
That dragon thing, 12 big space suits wearing humans transform into a crapton of barbwire in the rough shape of a dragon. Looks really, really bad.

Wow! The Dinobots look sooo good! Love slag, with the smaller dino head and fattness of his dino mode. They all look bloody perfect!
Combined mode looks awesome, a bit Evangelionish becouse of the slenderness and long arms. Very cool and also great to have Grimlocks T-Rex head as the chest. Very cool design and engineering!

Combiner Wars Blast off:
Really dissapointed in the figure, so dissapointed I bought the Hasbro version (an Aerialbot repaint) and tried to switch heads. Spoiler alert, different sized balljoints so don't even try.
The shoulders are terrible on Blast Off, the chest is big and clunky, and the cockpit doesn't transform right, something tends to get in the way all the time.
Overall very bad design, it should be very easy to get the torso and shoulders right since his arms are cheated and simply on the side. They really dropped the ball on this new mold.
So I'm not excited for a Hasbro repaint, it's one of the worst Combiner Wars figures.
And that's to bad because Blast Off is one of my favorite G1 Toys.
I mean seriously, they couldn't even get the colors right, DARK BROWN people, dark brown. I don't care for some comic or rare toy. He was dark brown in the cartoon and toy. Why light brown?
The headsculpt is very cool though, that's what's annoying about it.

Eh, no. The whole "robot limbs are animal limbs" works against it, plus the G1 figure made sure to have the front ones fold in half so they're short and stubby. Nice attempt tho.

Maybe new Snaptrap hasn't got stubby legs
But he's supposed to be a turtle, and turtles aren't known for having long legs, so I don't think it will be based off hun-gurr design but who knows what Hasbro has planned. After all that's part of the fun of being a fan of a franchise like this, seeing what comes next

Sharks, piranhas, manta rays and squids aren't supposed to have legs at all
So giving a turtle longer legs isn't that big of a deal, I guess
Especially because the Seacons are not normal aquatic animals rather than sea monsters
Snaptrap's alt mode isn't a normal turtle mode.

So you mean a turtle isnt a normal aquatic animal?
I prefer the original Seacon colors. But I prefer even more TFC Toys' Poseidon's colors AND light piping.Albatross250 wrote:Since Primal won the vote, i either expect God Neptune to come, i hope. here's Halfshell.

Sure, but I am a bit sick of the silverbolt transformation, I woudl really want somethig new rather than a heavy retool of a heavy retool.

Just as poseable, sure, but he would still need the part forming chest. The idea of the modern update is to limit the partforming and thus thre is lots to do to incorporate a fully formed torso mode into the G1 toy.
