http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/new...d-images/24933/ In Box: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers...d-arachnid.html Dead End's still a vampire! Yay! Airachnid's arms belong on a Cyberverse-Class figure. That's just sad. This post has been edited by MrBlud: May 28 2012, 03:16 PM --------------------  |

Is there a version of this thread without the stupid title?

Airachnid's okay. Her arms aren't horrible. The hands on them are a little too choppy-choppy though.

Does this mean they're close to release? Seems like Wave 3 just came out.

Doubt them. Question them. Suspect them. Group: Citizen Posts: 40,896 Joined: 10-October 03 From: England Member No.: 3,679 |
Boy, Airachnid is going to come under heavy criticism.
And Dead End still looks freaky. And still I can only see him as a combination of G1 Sunstreaker, G1 Sideswipe and G2 Sideswipe with an ugly face. |

Dead End has a bit of a monkey face. Different than what I thought it looked like from the earlier pics.

I actually sort of like... or maybe at least don't mind... stupid Bee 3. I guess it's just different enough for me, moreso than the difference between DotM Bumblebee and DotM Nitro Bumblebee.

Isn't this only the second version of PRID Bee that's actually Bumblebee and not a new character?

Still a repaint (and remold) though. Though not repaint #3 technically. Repaint #2 I guess.

But not a STUPID one. Redecoing molds as new characters isn't nearly the same as redecoing them as variants of the same dude!

Actually, those pics might have improved the standing of these guys. First, we have confirmation that Airachnid's claw weapons can be removed from her 'copter mode, then we have a bio that makes me wonder if Bumblebee is going to get camo armor on the show, since he already got phase-shifting armor.

Airachnid looks horrible, expensive preorder cancelled.
I won't pay more than retail for her now, I'll take my chances finding her on the pegs. --------------------  |

Yeah, Airachnid still looks disappointing. I think I would be all for it if she had four blades to at least make a spider-like attack mode, but as is there isn't much about her that makes me think of actual arachnids.
Dead End/Wildrider still looks good. I like the undead/vampire/whatever theme, but you'd think that if he's been exposed to dark Energon for so long (and oh yeah, didn't that stuff not reemerge until the beginning of the show?) he'd have purple highlights, not green. Not that I'm really upset, as I love the green. -------------------- |

Yep - I'll buy her because she's a cool character and gotta support lady 'bots. But I'd hoped for a bit more somehow. Then again, she was always going to be a very difficult translation from animation to real life.

Yellow Bee ain't a redeco of himself. Not that I'm really keeping up with Prime but I'm sure this is the 3rd use of the mold, Bee Hot Shot and now This rehash of K Mart.M Bee. So Dave is right this is repaint #2 and with suck a different look he could almost be Volks. This post has been edited by Smitty: May 28 2012, 05:35 PM |

Really I'm beginning to hate Hasbros unoriginality in the last few series redecos. I think Murderbee has been the best in ages but the "stealth" decos have really just been pointless. Especially when they have no impact on the show as far as we know. Slight mold changes like Hot Shot are pretty cool but I really don't care for the whole Bee in black. Dead End is slightly more tolerable, a lil too G2 for my tastes but I do like the uniqueness.
