Bendy doesn't look THAT much different from the originals going by the proto, though he was a pretty good fig as he was. Definitely curious to see comparisons when it comes out. Also looking forward to seeing what Star's alt mode looks like, as that robot is really nice.

Star Convoy may or may not be a Siege release. Some people are stating there's Legends stuff there (like the Greatshot release, or the upcoming Big Powered trio). Also, looking at it, it looks like it's a heavy retool of PotP Optimus.
The Armada Prime still looks like a completely new mold, though.

So, I'm a dumbass who forgot to cancel a duplicate preorder for Siege Sideswipe... He arrived today, and upon inspection I see he has 'dimples' in his bonnet: Another pic with areas circled: The pics don't really do the dents justice... My 'Swipe (one that arrived about 3 weeks ago) has none of these dimples, with a perfectly smooth (aside from some minor scratching) "bonnet rack"... Might be one to watch out for in later batches if any of you guys that don't have him yet plan on getting him!

It's a semi-common problem from the plastic not quite filling the mold. If you took it apart, there's probably a protrusion like a screw post behind those spots where the plastic all went. Happens sometimes even on exceptionally well molded Bandai models, except there you just putty it and paint over it. Sucks that it's in such an obvious place here.

Looking at better pics of that G2 Megatron...wow. Between the “blackface” paint detail and the sickly yellow-white plastic used in places, it seems that Hasbro did a really good job of making a $33 toy look like a $6 knock-off. I would have bought a true green and purple G2 Megatron in a second.

I hate this redeco for the same reason I hated a lot of the G2 figures in the first place. How the fuck are you a Robot In Disguise if you have your goddamned name in 10 inch bold letters painted on your chassis? The reissue of G2 Laser Prime a few years back was perfect. Kept the style, but made it cool. Not doing that here just makes me want green and purple Megs too.
