Hey Will: Now you can finish your spreadsheet! Now this one has me very unsure about this. I need to see the Hasbro version, but this one is just not sticking to me like Nosecone did. But it is still not bad by a long shot.Hey Will: Now you can finish your spreadsheet! Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on April 3rd, 2016 @ 10:56pm CDT

I want to see Hasbro's, too, but this figure is AMAZING. The altmode is perfect, the robot mode is awesome. I can't even tell this is a Blast Off retool. It looks completely new.

Seriously! That alt mode!



The only downside to this is I wish they'd done more with Lightspeed and Scattorshot. Seriously! That alt mode!The only downside to this is I wish they'd done more with Lightspeed and Scattorshot. Posted by Burn on April 3rd, 2016 @ 11:00pm CDT

Oh, I believe you!!



A little more to those 2 would have been nice, but at least with Scattershot we got the new chest and combiner head!



Also, I was literally watching TFYuki's twitter for almost a half hour waiting for that image. As soon as it showed, it was newsed. took only 4 minutes from him releasing the pic to me having it front paged Oh, I believe you!!A little more to those 2 would have been nice, but at least with Scattershot we got the new chest and combiner head!Also, I was literally watching TFYuki's twitter for almost a half hour waiting for that image.

don't you dare anticipate cancelling that preorder. This is awesome! Computron has finally risen! I'm still unsure about this dude, but I feel confident that he will be awesome!



Now I really may need to get this one. Argh, this is making my wallet and my head hurt so much don't you dare anticipate cancelling that preorder. This is awesome! Computron has finally risen!

Well, that seals the deal for me. Takara it is. I was looking for a way to get the Blast Off mold and here it is.



EDIT: And preorder at BBTS placed. $35 for a much better rendition of the figure is fine by me. Two molds I don't have. Posted by Crosscheck on April 3rd, 2016 @ 11:05pm CDT

Do you remember what I said about possibly making a Movor out of a backwards Blast Off? Seems a little more plausible now.

Why? My figures have to actually look nice, that includes a well laid out deco, something TT has not done well for their last 4/5 combiners Why?

I was feeling confident after the combined image of Comp was released, but now having seen each individual bot/alt mode, this UW set is a not-to-be-missed must have for me.



All of the bots look amazing.

Weakest alt mode imo is Afterburner, but the modification is okay.

I don't have (and won't get) Wheeljack, so the Lightspeed mold is cool with me.

I'm sure it's because it's unpainted, but in the collage images someone posted, it looks like the hood is less rounded on the sides compared to the Wheeljack mold.

Probably just from a slight difference in camera angle of the shots, but it does look more squared-off to me.



Anyway, can't wait to see color images.



I love all of those head sculpts!!!! Posted by Sowndwave76 on April 3rd, 2016 @ 11:12pm CDT

Considering that Computron is largely just a red and orange blob, I am not overly concerned. Considering that Computron is largely just a red and orange blob, I am not overly concerned. Posted by Crosscheck on April 3rd, 2016 @ 11:17pm CDT
