Really hope they have the smoky orange for Chromia's translucent pieces and what we're seeing are just test samples. Those really helped her deco visually pop.
Arcee is still looking cool. Can't wait for her!
Age of Extinction Platinums... eh. Surprised they used MP-10's trailer, and even more surprised that it seems to work.
Angry Birds... eh.

Nice to have some more pics of the Platinum Edition Autobot 5-Pack. I will be buying that as soon as it is available.
That Optimus Prime with Sideswipe (with Swerve's head?) is a neat surprise. Something tells me it's meant to loosely tie in with the new Transformers: Robots in Disguise show for 2015, in which Sideswipe appears to be the new "kid appeal - immature but learning to be more responsible as the show goes on because we can never head enough trite coming of age stories in every form of media" character. As for the Optimus Figure, is that the best we're getting for a "voyager" scale version of his new AoE knight look? I'm...not super impressed. Every version of this look seems to have a very noticeable backpack...but the liberal use of chrome just washes out so much detail, and the cab deco is just plain wrong. Here's hoping we at least get a single pack release with proper paint apps. Takara, are you listening?
Finally, does anyone know what is up with the weird black and purple detailing on Cliffjumper's alt mode? At least it doesn't show up in bot mode, but seriously. It's just tacky.

No official version of "rusty" Optimus Prime is really piquing my interest so far. Everyone is trying something "different", but no one seems to be doing anything especially "accurate."

That's a repainted First Edition Prime. It's a Leader Class. Cliffjumper's decals remind me of the Thunderhawk from M.A.S.K.

Generations Arcee is looking cool.

Don't get worried. Acid Storm and Gears may be in another wave if they aren't sold with Nemesis Prime and Cliffjumper. I don't think it will be wise if Hasbro cancelled the toys at the last minute.
<freaking out> Wh....wh...wha...what is that!!!!!!!!!!

*grumbles and hands over his wallet*
So, I'm going to have to get that Optimus Prime with Trailer and Sideswipe set. The Autobots United set, that Nightbeat, that Arcee, and dat Chromia.
Thanks for mugging me, Hasbro.

Why? Why do you "HAVE" to get any of these? It sounds like don't want some of them, so why not just go for the ones you want and skip the rest?Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:Can I borrow your lipstick, Hasbro? I'd at least like to look pretty for when you F*** ME!

Ah, no wonder I didn't recognize it. I hardly gave that mold any notice when it was first released. Here's hoping we'll still get a "modern" movie Prime at the voyager scale eventually.
Would be interesting to see comparison shots of the Autobot Five-Pack versions with their Takra-Tomy "Movie Advanced" counterparts. I have a feeling people will be pleased with these "Platinum Edition" efforts from Hasbro.

YEP!
Thinking about it further, I might want to skip that Optimus/Sideswipe set. That trailer is so tempting though, it looks awesome. But that First Edition Optimus is just so bad, I guess it's no surprise they're trying to sell it off any way they can.

Why else would he be purple?

I'd go with Override instead. Yes, I'm aware that saying anything nice about any part of the Unicron Trilogy is probably an act of heresy. No, I don't care.

That's a weird call back to put on a toy that represents the G1 version of the character. I think it's less an a Transformers Prime reference are more a weird "lets slap some deco on here because we can" thing. Let's face it, it's not the first (or probably not the last) time the Hasbro deco artists have made a weird choice like this.
If anything, I think the homage is more to create a pseudo-Cybertronian alt mode look, kind of like what Hasbro tried with the Bumblebee release of this mold with the odd pinkish-red detailing. The purple on the hood of Cliffjumper pretty much matches the pattern on the Bumblebee's release. The black detailing on the side with purple striping within might be a call back to the WfC toys of 'Bee and Cliff. Check some pictures of those figures from 2010. You'll see what I mean. In Cliffjumper's case, they used yellow then. I don't know why they chose purple now, but maybe it was to make him look less like a simple color inversion of Bumblebee. I think silver striping would have looked so much better, but alas.

Or, perhaps a small acknowledgement to another red toy car made around the same time as the original Generation One toys.

Not sure what that has to do with Cliff but ok.

This is Hasbro we are talking aboutthey are to ignorant to remember something like that.
Plus why would Cliff have that paint job and not some other red Bot like the upcoming Windcharger
It is honestly more likely something from recent times and not the dumb 80's

Too ignorant? We're getting an entire line of just '80s homages and you call them ignorant of the past? Quit underestimating Hasbro. They (mostly) know what they're doing.
Also, why did you quote yourself?
EDIT: Hold on, you called the 1980s dumb?! THIS MEANS WAR

As much as I dislike the FE Prime mold...SO. MUCH. CHROME. I think I'm in love. Also that red Sideswipe looks pretty pimpin'. I just wish they'd gave the chrome treatment to the better Leader Prime.
