Has there been an announcement I've missed? I know Hasbro isn't trying to stay completely true to the Timelines Nexus toy, but Alpha Bravo has nothing in common with Topspin beyond also being a helicopter.

To be fair, Nexus Prime has nothing in common with superion other than being a big guy made of little guys.
Japanese Transformers News
New details are out about the next wave of Japanese specials. Dramatic Capture ”Dinobot Island Part 1”, with Grimlock and Ratchet is reported to be about $110, converted from Yen. If the US pricing is around $115…that’s NOT bad for the extensive redeco and extra accessories. I don’t need...

Takara updated the previews with color! The nexus crew don’t do anything for me, but I’m increasingly eager to see how the Voyagers turn out.
Technically two! Both of them have had limbs recolored from the Energon jet limbs!

are you aware that people are allowed to give comments on what a toy looks like to them without caring enough to figure out what the foreign writing below the pic says
Guzzle’s tank mode is gonna be such a mess.
Because he looks like a hooded Cobra Commander Mech and was given zero reason to care about him anymore than someone's gun, and the gun at least got a profile in the 80's.
And because I wanted to use the GIF.
Is Guzzle a remold of someone? I haven't kept up up on release info. I actually care about the info.
Guzzle is a remold of the recently released Combaticon Brawl Voyager figure. It remains to be seen if the remolding is any more extensive than just a new headsculpt.
Hasbro will have a panel on October 8 at NYCC where they will be discussing this assortment as well as the rest of the “bonus wave” for Age of the Primes, expected to hit around the new year. In addition to the figures shown above, the Hasbro slate will add G2 Wildrider in the deluxe range and we’ll finally see the Leader assortment of a new Prime (some Onyx Prime retool) and Machine Wars Starscream (derived from the Legacy Skyquake/Dreadwing mold)
I'll get the Hasbro Cybershark, but I wish that he'd gotten some metallic silver paint instead of the gray. Chrome is a no-go, and that's fine, but some nice bright shiny approximation would've been nice. (This would've been a great venue for the metal flake stuff they experimented with on AOTP Vector Prime, but idk the long term durability of that yet.) At least that helmet crest is metallic.
Waffling on Guzzle, but if he's easy enough to get, I might. The price point is giving me pause.

I kind of lump them all together since they are all “bonus combiner limbs” released to give Nexus Prime some more options besides using the Aerialbots or Stunticons.
I'll likely end up with all of those guys, Alpha Bravo being first of course. Lol
Guzzle looks like the Brawl Mold, so I do hope they got the peg sizing for his waist right. I fixed mine ahead of time, so far so good. I do hope for a Thundercracker made Superion-compatible, less for comics stuff and more that I'd like to sticker the symbols back to normal and have an extra Combaticon. The team has space, scouting, multiple mobile and heavy artillery, transport, etc, but not much for actual air to air dogfights.
I just got a Studio Series 86 Megatron, and Brawl tanks better than the Leader class. My only real issue with him other than the tilt-peg is the turret sometimes pops off easily at the bottom joint when shifting it up.
