Yeah D, I see what you meant (edited last post to agree )

and no Billy, you aren't the only one.

The trick to these is to keep expectations low, hope for the best, and except them for what they are. Primestrong is neat and fun, but I still think the price point is to high for what you get.

Will, I love how that Motormaster truck makes for such broad shoulders on Menasor. Wide, silver, and mean!

Do you guys think the samples shown are hand painted? They appear to have some nice apps. Hope the production runs look that good.

Given the sheer amount of hand-painting at the show, I'd be unable to say either way for these figures specifically. Maybe megatronus or Seibertron will have a better idea.

I wish they would look that good as the retail releases. that silver on Motormaster/Menasor is incredibly nice

So I suppose these dudes would best scale with Legions?

I know I know it's not all about scale lol, I'm just wondering how Ultrabee would look together with say, Legion Windblade and Ratchet and the scout-sized Mini-con pack thing Optimus

I'm gonna go ahead and say, GREAT!

Yeah I think they will scale rather well with those minicon 2 pack figures

I would agree. Can't wait for them!

Just curious, has the Combiner Force One-Step Blurr been sighted in US Retail by anyone else yet? 'Cause I kinda found one and I didn't expect them to be on shelves yet.

Yup, that wave has been found. We are currently lookign for sightings of the warrior wave with Soundwave.

RiD figures need more paint apps. I feel like I have been saying this since the first wave of toys though.

I suppose reprolables can help. I only have 2 figs I wanna label up so I'll wait till I decide on more to make shipping worth it.

Did anyone else notice the arms and legs of Menasor are actually the same mold each with different robot parts, much like Galvatronus?

Yup. Reminding me a lot of the Energon combiners...

Ultra Bee stands out in that aspect, which is a good thing. I wonder if Bruticus will follow suit.

I just wonder if there's gonna be another Autobot combiner. They seem to be introducing new Autobots quickly enough...

The first is the switchblade type, the second is the car jack type, and it's the third that has the rotation. Twist the back spoiler and the whole body from the knees up twists along.

Is that figure being released now or part of a previous wave?

Call me crazy, but I think Ultra Bee is a five bot combiner like the other two. As someone mentioned the coloring of the sword in the turnaround, along with having some parts that look like its shoulders, leads me to believe Drift becomes the sword.

The packaging only displays the four. It's entirely possible Drift only becomes the sword in fiction and not the toy.

I think the toy sword is Drift in its sword mode. Logistically they probably couldn't do a transforming Drift who could go from car to robot then the sword.

Oh, the toy has a sword? In that case yeah, it's totally Drift. Didn't know that

A quick look tells me the new Sideswipe is Wave 2.

The packaging says "4 Figures", no more, no less.



I don't see anything special about the design of the sword, really. Besides, wasn't Drift more of an ally, rather than a permanent member of Team Bumblebee?

It's more noticeable on that clip of the show version of Ultra Bee that was released yesterday. The sword on his back has black and orange coloring, just like Drift.

It could very easily just be a show-original idea that wasn't the original intent for the toy's weapon, but yeah, here you go.

Thats what I think

Methinks someone hasn't seen episodes 17-45 yet.
