I like her better too! And yes, those are supposed to be hammers, I am looking forward to them

Wouldnt Battle Core Prime be better for Nova?
This guy looks more like the type to turn into Thunderclash since he has that colour scheme going on.

I actually did repaint my BC Optimus into Nova Prime!
Truth be told, I'm just a big fan of Nova Prime and I think he's severely underrepresented in terms of figures, and I think he's a fun repaint.

That Windblade does look very good. she has a little bit bigger legs and she looks better proportioned and I love it! She is a buy!
And I cannot wait for minicon weapons. So much want!

Not really. I saw that it was common that there were some bits that just didn't want to stay put in either mode (like the heels) that made the figure a bit fiddly and a bit difficult at times, but is wasn't bad though by any stretch. I still like her, but she's not as fun to transform and try to stand as others

Meh, guess I'm the only one that has no problems with her; I will say that the thigh design on her is total garbage, those little ornamental prongs near her pelvis just trash her poseabillity

I wasn't the biggest fan of Generations Windblade due to issues with her mold. The figure looks nice in robot mode, the jet mode looks good with the exception of the noticeable feet. It's the posability and the issues with her heels that make the toy a bit frustrating to handle.

I stand by the thigh plates being the real enemy of fun everywhere

There are already Reprolabels to turn BC OP into Thunderclash, Nova Prime and Ultra Magnus.
And I think the new Power Surge OP works perfectly as Nova because of his wings. Hopefully TT turns this one into Nova instead of Nemesis.

I think there is a good chance that Ratchet can return since he chose to stay on Earth yes I know he came back to Cybertron for Predacons rising but it was an emergency and I'm pretty sure he went back afterwards
Posted by Noideaforaname on February 22nd, 2016 @ 12:57pm CST
He's small for a Legions, his mouth won't close, his little legs are nearly useless for any kind of support (such as the above pose), and his car has a big hole in the back
And it's rather depressing that this is the same size class that gave us the Dreads, the Terrorcons, and the highly articulated Fixit; and people will inevitably lose his eyes and legs.... But I guess Clampdown's alright.

German wesbite Brandora has product images for Robots in Disguise Stealthsaurus Rex Grimlock. The stealth mode refers to him having the same colour pattern as the Stealth Bumblebee deco but this time on the Three Step Grimlock.
Amazon.ca has images for Titan Gardian Strongarm and Grimlock.
Hasbro Poland has the official toy images for the upcoming minicons Scorch Strike Jetstorm, Ransack, and Glacius, who are all part of the 4th wave of minicons.

Ugh...Titan figures, does anyone actually buy those? The 7-year old is already way too old to like them and the twins will beat each other with them.

Judging by the profane amount of 'em that I've see decomposing in various clearance aisles over the years, I'd say, no

That would be great if these cost $5, but they don't. I think my local stores sell these for $20. You can actually buy deluxe transformers that, you know, transform for $5 less.

They don't have the increase in accuracy, sculpture and paintwork that minimally articulated figures often have. And they aren't even that cheap. If they were hugely poseable or gorgeously painted or extremely cartoon accurate or only £2 I might understand. But as is? There is literally no point to getting them over a Warrior class figure or even a one-step. I'm no economist, but there is absolutely no way that continuing to make these...things makes any sense for Hasbro. It decreases the budget they have for other lines and it takes up space on store shelves that could be used by stuff that will actually sell.
I weep for the ignorance on these boards regarding these "shampoo bottles". These arent Transfomers toys aside from having that branding. In reality, they are part of a bigger line called Titans from Hasbro which sells ridiculously well for 4 year olds, and are made of vynyl so that kids dont get hurt:
They are found in all Hasbro brands and this is what sells most under the Marvel umbrella. No reason Hasbro wouldnt try that success with another one of its monster brands. This isnt new and its been arond for a while and selling, and the world hasnt ended and Hasbro is still making traditional Transformers for you. No need to whine at something you dont understand and that isnt made for you!

Autobot tap out wrote:i'd hate to be that guy, but why does ransack look like a retool of Armada Dead end?
They roughly share an altmode silhouette, but are otherwise different in every way.
(I guess the animation model of the "gun ball" mode may homage Dead End. My tinfoil hat theory is that the chaotic Cyclones (and only them, since we know normal Aligned Mini's are born like regular tfs) might tie into the Armada idea of Minicons being born of Unicron.)

Not that I know of. They just remolded all the molds to make Mad Max autobots with the typical Bee repaint. Nothing like different themed minicon groups

The only captain planet i know is the one by Don Cheadle. I guess he wasnt that popular in Canada. Unlike Ms Frizzle and the magic schoolbus.

The Point Glarryg was making was that the RID line has turned into a bunch of redecos. And I was saying thats pretty much what the Prime line became in beasthunters. Sure, there was some remolding but it was basically using the same molds and selling them again under a different theme.

"some remolding":
But on the topic of RiD - it seems a lot like these camo decos are simply a reason to keep the existing cast on the shelves while focusing more on Decepticons. It allows Hasbro to put "new" Autobot toys on the shelves (and we always need new Autobot toys on the shelves) while putting design/engineering focus into the S1 and S2 Decepticons.

Yes, but, it was all the same single theme rather than all the characters getting several redecos based on a set number of multiple themes, which is what his post read more to me as referring to.william-james88 wrote:The Point Glarryg was making was that the RID line has turned into a bunch of redecos.
