Oy! Who's that wee little white one with blue gun and chrome mags? That's a damn good looking minibot!

That's Tailgate, based on the G1 design.

 

[wonko the sane?]

I think I need him. But I do love me some american muscle cars and the hotrod style.

From the only episode where Swindle matters.

Wait, are these stock photos from an official reveal or just a leak?

TECHNICALLY, I think they're leaks from the guys who data-mine retailer systems. Hasbro's got a fan stream next week, and EE has a Hasbro drop day, so my assumption is that we're just seeing things a few days early.

Tailgate also has one of the best Budiansky profiles of all time.

Frankly, he sounds like someone megatron would have charmed and then fed into the meat grinder.

Toys - Age Of The Primes Wave 3 Stock Photos

Thanks to our friends over at TFW2005, we have a great look at the upcoming third wave of Age of the Primes toys. Check them out below! -Swindle -Vector Prime -Joyride -Tailgate -Blanker aka Pointblank -Fangry -Megazarak...

That is one nice wave of figures! Definitely getting Swindle, Blanker, Joyride, and Fangry. Might get Vector Prime, as I like that colorscheme, and I might pick up tailgate.

(Point)Blanker is what I was hoping for the first time around. He was the last G1 figure I picked up sometime in junior high, and I paid for him with my own money instead of getting him as a gift, so there's some sentimental value there, too.

Re: Hotwire, they did a good job getting his chest details correct... but otherwise the proportions and design make me think Minicon, not Nebulan. That plus the colors and helmet design remind me of Leader-1 from Armada.

 

[CrockAlley]

If Unicron Soldier [edit: HERALD OF UNICRON] is actually supposed to be a Cybertron Unicron homage, the kibble and altmode should be rounder.

I'll be interested to see the design notes on this one. The shoulders are the only specific detail that links this new toy to the Cybertron deluxe Unicron.

I most disappointed with Joyride. It's a straight repaint with a remolded head and the worst way to implement a "powermaster" too. I think the original looks better in every way, apart from the poseability...

 

[Platypus Prime]

Blanker will join Thomas in the number of characters who I now know for a fact are a bunch of blanking blankety blanks...

 

[Sabrblade]

True fact:

Toby once rushed into the shed to tell Thomas some bad news: "Percy's had an accident!"

Thomas's reaction to hearing his best friend may now be dead: "Botheration! That means I'll be late!"

A total (blank)ing (blank), indeed.

 

[Platypus Prime]

"But I think he deserved his probable untimely death, don't you?"

 

[Haywire]

In all fairness, it does seem like the highest crime on the island of Sodor is causing confusion and delay.

It is a British Cartoon afterall...
