Swerve
Wheelie Cliffjumper Springer I like them. Swerve's face unfortunately is a little too generic and not quite enough Swerve and Wheelie's face is a bit too happy, but they're quite nice! Randy --------------------  |

How can Wheelie look too happy? He's Wheelie!

Wheelie is a definite pass. Springer, on the other hand, is exceptional. It's like that mold was designed for him or something.

Yeah Springer really impresses me. Cliffjumper's head turned out quite great too.

Cliffjumper continues to not impress. Pass.
Springer: Having clear pics really hurts him. The head doesn't fit the mold at all. I'll still probably get it though. Swerve: A good deluxe version of the old toy. I'm too in love with the MTMTE one though. Still get him though. Wheelie is far and away the best one. I don't even really want the character but the figure is too beautiful to pass up. Bought.

Wheelie looks bulky. They should have went with another mold for him.

Springer's head looks very small on that body but it's a nice sculpt. Same goes for Cliffjumper's although Wheelie looks a bit herpaderp.

Not sure how Springer's head fits worse than Tomahawk's did? They're both very G1 style robot heads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif)

I've been wanting Wheelie quite badly since he was first announced. These pics absolutely kill that. He looks positively demented with that face.
Conversely, I've had zero interest in Springer all along, but damn, that is a petfectly executed repaint. Somebody put in a lot of time and effort on him. --------------------  |

Springer looks great. Now that he has a domestic release he's must buy IMO.
Swerve's face is too bland and not Swerve-y enough. Wheelie is too Wheelie-ish just too goofy for me though I love the Jazz mold. I might consider it but it'd need a new head. Hope Hot Spot's head looks good. -ZacWilliam, might repurpose Swerve. There's got to be a better match...

My gosh. I like them all. For me, that's Ironhide, not Swerve. Not for the Classics shelf, but I'll figure out somewhere. He can't stand near Kup.
I actually like Springer now that I see his head. Again, he doesn't get Defender's spot, but I'll find him a spot. All four please. |

Spirnger looks odd. I'll probably give him new feet.
Swerve's head is not attractive. Glad I didn't keep one for myself. Wheelie looks better than I thought he would. Love it! Cliffjumper REALLY looks better than I thought he would. Glad I didn't manage to sell that last one off. --------------------  |

Cliffjumper's head has a plain expression, but it doesn't looks as bad as those blurrier shots made it out to be. I'm glad I didn't cave in on RiD Cliffjumper, since now there's a much better chance to get this mold at a decent price. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif)
I agree that up close, Wheelie looks... bulky. Maybe he should've used RotF Breakdown's mold instead, and Dead End got this body? This post has been edited by Demovere Xeno: Jul 12 2012, 09:09 PM --------------------  |

That Springer and Swerve look fantastic. Cliffjumper works nicely, and that Wheelie is more unfortunate than I was hoping.

Springer just doesn't look right with those spindly legs. Whirl would've been a much better choice for this mould.

I really really really like how Swerve's got a sneer going on, really good head sculpt, I think.

Wheelimus Prime looks good, I'm glad we're probably going to have another outlet to get him. Head sculpt could maybe be a little better, but I'd like to have him.
Springer and Swerve both look fantastic to me, I really love how elegantly Swerve uses a really simple color scheme. Not regretting selling off my Defender, but I've loved the Tomahawk mold from the start, and I agree with Randy about the head. The only very not G1-looking thing about that mold is the feet anyway. Cliffjumper's head is pretty nice, shame it's so obviously just a new head stuck on an unchanged Prime Cliffjumper.

The colors aren't perfect but I can see the Swerve mold as Crosshairs maybe. -ZacWilliam, the big gun and the red could work it for me... -------------------- Ever wonder about the speed of Turbofoxes?

I was hoping that Cliffjumper would finally give me a good head for Classics Cliffjumper...but I'm not sure.
Swerve looks nice, but thanks to MTMTE I have a very clear mental image of Swerve, and this isn't it. Wheelie is a safe pass, as the Legends figure is very good and not too small for the character. Pretty toy though. Springer actually impresses me, and he was the one I wanted the least of the four originally. -------------------- |

I actually like how plain and generic Swerve looks. He's a greatGrunt in a world full of flashy looking guys. Cliffjumper looks alright, I'd buy him on a slow week. The fact that he has a less "cheaty" Transformation scheme makes him feel more at home with the classics/universe/generations. Springeris cool up to the feet, which look a bit out of place. Glad he isn't slathered with green, though.
