Crasher gets a review by a legit YouTuber.

It's Legacy and I couldn't find the Velocitron one, so it's fine.
All you had to do was just scroll down the first page of the Transformers Discussion forum. It's right here.

Not really. The original source pictures were joined together "side by side" in groups of 4 and 1 large one and sequenced vertically. I've just joined them permanently in a vertical manner. Nothing has changed and people are able to read them in the way they were intended.
You're describing only how it looks on mobile. On PC it look like this, joined horizontally:

I really want Alpha Trion more than Orion, honestly, I dislike looking at the Titans return verison of Aphla, its kind of "WTF were they thinking?" when they decided to do Alpha as a lion, ship hyrid!

Me too. I have PotP Orion (which doesn't really have a vehicle mode of it's own, but the robot mode is nice), but I've been wanting a good Alpha Trion forever.

This new Orion Pax is definitely an improvement, but not one that I would probably buy on it's own. The set as a whole, though, is a must buy. Between finally getting a good Alpha Trion and getting a Vector Sigma (with Key), it's something I'm looking forward to quite a bit.

Likely trying to homage previous Alpha Trions, seeing as his alt mods have always been either 'ship' or 'lion'.

Wow! I like how the front of his arms are rounded, but the backs are squared off, so they look more like part of a vehicle in his alt-mode. That's really cool. Too me a second to realize those were indeed his arms; the shapes didn't line up until I realized the back was sculpted differently than the front.

They're not joined horizontally. There are two separate files. Again, that's a limitation of the website, not my uploads.

Thanks for the info about the discussion forum. You're most welcome to repost them there, in a way that suits your PC, if you wish.

I am really looking forward to getting Legacy Wildrider (Wildrider was always one of my favorite Stunticons). The good news is that he is scheduled to arrive on Thursday. The bad news? I live in Florida, and it just so happens that Hurricane Ian will be touching down on Thursday. I guess it's a wait-and-see thing, but I kind of wish he were arriving next week now.

I think we should wait to see the official reveal before judging too harshly.

Someone on TFW pointed out there are some aspects of the fake Ferrari that Wildrider is having some Countach details too.

Though I admit a new front end and backend would have been ideal.

Yeah, while a full reshell would've been cool, I guess they had to find their cost saving somewhere and frankly I appreciate the not-Porsche sculpt for Dead End. I do wish they'd been able to do a little more resculpting on the front of the cars, but there are quite a few Lambo-esque differences from the doors back.

There are definitely some newly-molded Lambo-esque cues from the doors back that look good; the rear vents and louvers are nice touches (but a spoiler would be best). It just would have looked the part more to have tweaked the front end a bit.

Ultimately, I think what bothers me the most is that the other vehicles are so close to their G1 counterparts and this Breakdown took (is taking?) so long to reveal, that I can't help feeling deflated. If it were possible, I would almost rather they revealed Breakdown sooner and then left maybe Dead End or Dragstrip as the final reveal. Oh well, it's not like I won't get it, it's just kind of a dumb move, IMO.

I just think it’s wild they go to Takara with cost saving remold ideas for Cosmos and Override and Takara is like “naw, have some whole new molds” and then when it’s time to finish up a Combiner people have already sunk $150 into they’re like “We’ll just uhh repaint Wild Rider!”

And the thing is, regardless of how good the inevitable 3rd party upgrade kits are - that will cost as much as Breakdown, btw - it will always just kind of be Wildrider cosplaying as Breakdown.

Edit: I still will reserve final judgement until seeing the finished product, but seeing the pics, it is difficult to imagine how much better it will be.

Lots of leaked Breakdown photos and videos in this thread:

I'm currently away from my computer, so I can't embed them.
