My Pulse Cosmos arrived yesterday. I'm really impressed with him, moreso than I expected! I cancelled my other Pulse preorders except for Override and Scourge, but I haven't seen anything at retail yet here. Still plan to pick up Road Rocket, Blurr and Hauler when I see them. Not huge on...

This is too good

Also, regarding the listings - anyone think Leo Prime will be a shared mold with Leo breaker again? The Cybertron characters are getting decent focus, so I could see them doing this.

Considering how the other Prime characters have turned out on Legacy (Arcee is one of my favorite recent deluxes), I'm really interested to see what they do with Skyquake. I wouldn't mind seeing elements of the G1 design worked in but at the same time it's pretty distinct from the Prime design...

I'm in metro Atlanta, but I've only seen a single Buzzsaw. I bought it in Huntsville Alabama a few weeks ago. Haven't seen any other Legacy beast repaints.

That makes sense. I don't have the Botcon version. I think the mutant head looks better, but the robot hear with the bright "ears" stands out better from the rest of the body.

I don't think we're ever going to get any version of Wasp, unfortunately. I've wanted one since 2009 or so and you are right that there have been plenty of opportunities, especially in the past few years. Then again, now that they've actually got a new Waspinator out there, they might be ok...

Yeah, this is the part of the set I care least about, but still it's a cool extra. I'll definitely display Scorponok with the toy head, but I'm undecided on Skywasp.

I am really digging the new Creatures Collide set. They are actually using the VW tooling for Goldbug, plus each of the villains comes with an alt head....so cool. The box art doesn't hurt either

For Velocitron, I am still most excited for Override. I understand the alt mode complaints, especially for a character with whom the alt mode is so important, but it's worth it to get that great bot mode. She just looked so good in that one pose when Mark was displaying her. Blurr, Road Rocket...

He looks fine, but for some reason I expected more new tooling

Mine's wings are fine, but yeah there is some serious flaking. Thankfully it's not a real aesthetic loss since he already looks like a mess

BW Scourge might seriously be my favorite of the bunch. He's so much fun

These parts are clear on Last Prime too - they're just painted on the externally visible section (this is the same piece for the Energon missile pods)

This is what it looked like to me. Same with the spoiler pack/gun housing
