Twinstrike,

















Autobots beware, because this Windrazor figure is a beastly menace! He can pound his enemies into scrap with his spiky Dragontooth Mace. But when he converts to dragon mode, he won't need weapons to win! Keep converting him back and forth so he can handle whatever his enemies dish out!

Autobots beware, because this Twinstrike figure is a double dose of beast! He can pound his enemies into scrap with his enormous Piston Hammer. But when he converts to dragon mode, he won't need weapons to win! Keep converting him back and forth so he can handle whatever his enemies dish out! Transformers and all related terms are trademarks of Hasbro.















Decepticons beware, because this Smokescreen figure is a two-fisted Autobot menace! He's got 2 battle axes for hand-to-hand combat, and he can convert to racer mode fast to chase down any Decepticon who tries to escape. Keep converting him back and forth so he can handle whatever his enemies dish out! Transformers and all related terms are trademarks of Hasbro.















Predacons beware, because this Bumblebee figure has the technology and weapons to take any of them out! He'll take his Predacon enemies apart with his Dragonshredder sword in robot mode. If they're lucky enough to get away, he'll convert to combat racer mode to chase them down! Keep converting him back and forth so he can handle whatever his enemies dish out!

Amazon has also updated with some new official high res images of Hasbro's upcoming Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Deluxes Windrazor Smokescreen , and Bumblebee .

And with one somewhat neutral/borderline-positive post made, enter the storm of negative posts in 3... 2... 1...



In spite of how simple they are and their probable inability to combine, I might still pick up those Twinstrike and Windrazor figures.And with one somewhat neutral/borderline-positive post made, enter the storm of negative posts in 3... 2... 1...

Reminds me of back when Beast Wars Mega class went up five dollars in price and were rebrand voyager class. This frightens me to further escalation of transformer costs. I remember reading about these simplified figures a while ago and felt disgusted then. Now seeing this, I knew my instincts were right. This is utter crap. Simplified deluxe?! wtf does that mean anyways? Transformers for retards? These figures look like cyberverse toys at deluxe price. I guess normal deluxes are going to be rebrand with a new title and become 5 more dollars.Reminds me of back when Beast Wars Mega class went up five dollars in price and were rebrand voyager class.

These make my head hurt. I feel like these are Transformers products from some alternate reality. We've been had! Here are KO upscaled versions (albeit a higher quality product evidenced by pins and such not found in the Cyberverse scale) of Cyberverse figures as some kind of inane way of saying "Hey fans, thanks for supporting the Cyberverse/Legends line for the past 8 years." I think these are a great way of getting inexpensive large Transformers into discount chains such as Family Dollar, Big Lots, Dollar Tree, etc ... kind of along the same lines as the simplified Marvel Universe 3.75" figures that you see that have limited articulation, or even the cheaper Marvel Universe figures that you see at traditional retail such as the $5 price point Avengers Assemble figures. If these are priced at $10 or less and don't replace the main line figures, then I'm OK with this. If these cheaper products are the main line figures and are the same price point as the higher quality and more poseable deluxes we currently have, than I feel like we've been cheated by supporting the Cyberverse/Legends Class line for the past 8 years.

This didn't happen with Beast Wars. The $15 Mega Class stayed through Robots In Disguise in 2001/2002. It was phased out with Armada where Deluxe Class became known as Super-Cons and the Ultra Class became known as Max-Cons. In Energon, they were referred to as Combat Class and Mega Class respectively. And for Cybertron's launch in 2005, they were referred to as the standard Deluxe Class and Voyager Class respectively. The Ultra Class and Voyager Class have stayed within the $20 to $25 price range for the past 17 or 18 years, which is pretty impressive for retail products to stay so consistent in price. The exception, of course, being the price Toys R Us charges for their Voyager Class figures which peaked at almost $30 a figure with the Transformers Prime toyline.

This is beyond retarded. I don't see why they couldn't just AT LEAST, BARE MINIMUM leave the pegs on so it can still combine. Effing retarded. And ya, coz the thing I wanted most was LESS poseability in my transformers. These upsized legions can bite my @$$. Posted by MINDVVIPE on November 7th, 2013 @ 9:05pm CST

Yeah, these are pretty silly.



But I'm sure the kids will like them!



You know... because they're the target audience, and they worry about catering to them first.



I could see these being like... for kids who "graduate" from Rescue Bots but may not be ready for standard, non-simplified figures. Posted by Grimlock64 on November 7th, 2013 @ 9:39pm CST

these are great for parents who want to give their kids Transformers but not hassle with the complexity of the regular line or small parts that come off, kids won't care as long as they are Transformers. Posted by Ultra Markus on November 7th, 2013 @ 9:59pm CST

Whoa, Windrazor and Twinstrike's colors aren't quite what I thought they'd be. I know the touched up promotional photos aren't accurate to the real thing, but since they're upscales of existing toys I thought they'd be roughly the same as the Legions. Here, it looks like they literally used the same 3 plastic colors for both of them; it's weird.



Besides the colors, I wish those two got the same type of treatment Predaking did, where every part was resculpted or even completely reworked. The Terrorcons are pretty intricate for Legions, so much so that they almost feel like shrunken Scouts! Not Deluxe grade, but the best candidates for upscaling I can think of. And best of all they would've looked awesome with the likes of Ripclaw and Laserback and the other Predacons. But alas! It's painfully obvious they're oversized Legions.

Also, Optimus and Predaking are listed as well:

I apologize for my use of that word, I was also unaware it had already been used in the thread. However, calling such massive attention to it surely doesn't do any good to those who are offended, and trying to ignore/forget it. PM next time and I can simply edit my post.

I can't tell how big these are, and bumblebee sure is ugly, but I'm excited for the line. You know, I had to find my kids Cybertron figures from way back because they were the last transformers that were possible for kids 10 and under to transform. I'm so sick of knock-out's bumpers popping off, smokescreen's legs flying off and belly not latching, these non-shelf-worthy toys will be a-ok!
