Is that the same Prime as the Siege version, but retooled somewhat and with the trailer? I'm not 100% sure, but a lot of it looks the same.
Anything Micromaster related I'm in on, including Ironworks.

I guess I'm in the minority but I'm liking the new E.R. Prime set. I wish they didn't ax roller but at least it's more economical than a $450 MP.
Grapple looks fantastic. I agree the TFU Inferno mode with a crane attatchment never really fit well. Hopefully an Inferno and Select Artfire will follow.
Ironworks looks interesting but sadly the Micromasters themselves have not impressed me enough to keep buying them.

I like about them what I liked about them as a kid. They're fast to flip back and forth, and you can easily have a shit ton of them

My main concern is in Hasbro updating them, they took a step backwards. For example the first Autobot car two pack, adding articulation actually made them a bit worse with Roadhandler's legs popping off and Swindler's arms are limited due to kibble. I'd rather have straight up reissues to be honest. But that being said, they are not all bad. The Decepticon jets and Off Road sets are two of the better sets, IMO. |

Scorponok was probably a given in a lot of fan's eyes. I imagine that there would be some angry fans if they had opted to go with something else. I'm still holding out hope that we might see a Titan Class "PS2 style" Armada Tidal Wave.
Looking at Earthwise, I think I'm going to end up buying the new deluxes (not sure about Ironworks though), voyagers, and Leader Prime with trailer. I'm happy to finally see a decent Classics CJ that is not a BB repaint and love the fact he comes with his giant blaster from MTMTE. Looking at how well these are executed, I am really hoping that when I get them in hand, I won't have to buy any newer versions of these characters going forward. Wishful thinking most likely, but it would be nice to save some TF money somewhere.
But while I like these newer updates, I do wish to see some new stuff other than just the same G1 characters. I don't know what kind of Earth mode they could give Megatron (other than a gun) so instead of trying to improve an already great figure, how about a Leader Class BW TM Megatron as Hasbro's way of saying "We're sorry for GPS".

And with 8000 backers, Unicron will now be made. Waiting to see the first disaster pics once they start shipping.

Well, I'm sure Hasbro didn't fudge those numbers one bit.

Did any one else's eyes play a trick on them when Earthrise was announced, or was it just me?  |
