Sunstreaker I can kind of see (the recent reuse was in a store exclusive multipack). But SIEGE Prowl would be some stunning tone-deafness. That is, unless there's some exclusivity hoopla that's managed to stay in effect this long (we never did get a straight reissue of either that Ironhide or...

Yeah, it took a while before I saw any (or, well, looked for any) as well. In case it helps, these comparisons with WFC era molds are from Alfes and Tagoal on Twitter (apologies if these were already in this thread):

Got a few of these and they're kinda nice. Still mentally adjusting to how big the Energy Masters turned out to be (in comparison pictures, vs assumptions from solo preorder pics/renders), but looking forward to Nemesis Prime and trying to figure out how to get Frost Saber solo (or what to do...

The Defender Version aesthetic in general is preferable to me. Something about shrinking them down makes the stylization/art style change work better. And the faces are definitely preferable to the regular size ones, which tend to look oddly long or big for the helmets. I've idly gotten a...

Maybe he just needs a moment to ketchup. Okay, sold.

If they finally use opaque plastic on this mold I'd like to get that. Would also really help if they gave it some retooling in the right spots.

Yeah, we're well into the "streaming is eating the industry's lunch" era and it's too big a cash cow and/or pet project for studios to give up on to pivot back to making theatrical releases more of an event. I don't think much will really hit those highs anymore, and quality as we've seen is...

I'll second this. And it's both good (getting away from the other bullshit that tends to be intertwined with that) and less good (it's an approximation at best, and feels like it). They really should've kept the momentum from the Bumblebee solo of carrying some of the visual style but moving...

I'm actually hoping for an even deeper, more blackish dark blue like the deluxe Armada Nemesis Prime got. And that tan instead of gray/silver. Although tbh I'd LOVE the Costco Energon 2-pack colors, even if it's then just a name-reuse/repurpose. Most importantly I'd like it without the...

It's not a bad way to eat the cake and have it too. Have Bay helm TF/GI Joe if they're still forcing that to be a thing. Have Cooley do more prequel fun. BUT assign competent writers to both and rein Bay in. I don't mind having his era's visual styling and action shots back, but it's only going...

That looks great. I'm happy with the Takara DX retool of the combining one, but this seems to offer a compelling improvement on that. Maybe if she and Soundwave show up locally.

I think given all that I'd rather have Blokees of the shells. As long as they don't Blokeefy the aesthetic too much and still have the more humanoid/organic overall shapes and proportions rather than block-figure ones. Pretender shell-based poseable figures are cool to have, but at Super 7...

I've been clamoring for a return to Micro/2010s Cyberverse scale play for some time. This sounds great, although ymmv on the death thing.

It was such an awkward price point that they seemed to want to do everything with. New characters. Existing characters who work best at the size class for scale (more or less, since they're also upsizing all minibots to Deluxe anyway). Existing characters shrunken to the scale so you can build a...

Kony Island Babies (2025 remix)

Energon Optimus would do well because it's Optimus. Decepticons would be easy to pull off; Starscream fits right into today's approach and Megatron is also an easy thing to get right (even at core class). The Terrorcons for the most part are also very workable. The top/bottom combining bots are...

Realized shortly after taking the first one that I'd somehow forgotten one that was hanging out on the desk right beside the photo. Maybe because it was an older one and I'd somehow gotten the three within the same thirty-day period, which is a lot of Wheeljacks in a little time, so they were...

Oh dang, I get a yellow RID Optimus too? This day just keeps getting better and better.

Joke's on you, I'm into that. That would in fact be preferable, especially if it were just the cab.

Only three real contenders there, I feel, with One still being the underdog (I think it may be even with The Wild Robot). I do hope it wins. With Keanu getting the nod in his category and Maya in hers.
