Ehhhh...
...nah. They're nice enough, but if I wanted them, I think I'd have gotten the originals. Hope we get some crazy-as-hell fiction out of it, regardless.

"God Bug." Ha ha ha.
I might have considered them if they had new heads. But no, easy pass. -------------------- I have signatures disabled because they suck.

WOW, that Goldbug is LAME.
Talk about fail. _-ZacWilliam a G1 Goldbug head would have sold me that iffy body but that? No. Not even at a big discount. What a waste. This post has been edited by ZacWilliam1: Aug 16 2011, 02:11 PM -------------------- Ever wonder about the speed of Turbofoxes?

Pass. Might have been tempted with a retooled head on Goldbug, but no. Wouldn't be tempted at all with Dai Atlas unless he could be repurposed, as the grey version made a nice Classics Camshaft.

The colors rock, give them the new heads as stated in the descriptions and call it a day! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-silverbolt.gif) I'm glad that Goldbug has plenty of blue on him and Dai Atlas has some orange highlights. Randy --------------------  |

Yeah, these shots are clearly photoshops. You think they would have waited to show off the new heads though.
Even then, I'll pass: I'm spending enough money on TFs already. -------------------- Being part of any fandom is fundamentally embarassing.

Looks like Goldbug is the exact color I thought he'd be.

Randy The colors are damn pretty. I love that shade of blue. Unfortunately, the breakdown of the colors does everything it can to prevent the toy from actually looking like Dia Atlas. Way too much blue, not enough orange, and definitely not enough white. (It would be impossible to put the white in the correct position, because most of it was on his wings. But he still desperately needs more white somewhere.) -------------------- |

Crappy Dai Atlus is crappy. And that Suzuki mold is still garbage.

Perhaps these images weren't meant for mass release. It's probably only a matter of time before we see photos with the actual head sculpts. It's not the first time this has happened (seeing images without the final head sculpts) with TakaraTomy product. Randy -------------------- |

You just went full retard. You never go full retard! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-waspy.gif) And while I don't have anything against the Convoy mold, this paint scheme does a terrible job of evoking Dai Atlus. A new head isn't going to magically correct that. Who were the other ones said to come out? Banzai-tron? |
