Bruticus looks awesome, didn't expect Sky Lynx, but he looks neat as well.
Some of those Autobot Deluxes look neat the others though look pretty bad.

Bruticus looks as awesome as I'd expected, glad to see Brawl is a new mold and Swindle is definitely one of the more impressive retools from CW so far.

Sky Lynx is a pleasant surprise as well, and Sky Reign looks exactly like the type of ridiculous that I love.

Sky Lynx also looks like he could make an effective retool into Snaptrap, which would be great. The Seacons and Piranhacon are obscure, but they're one of my favorite combiner teams and I'm hoping they'll finally get some recognition in CW.

Way out of the loop now thanks to traveling... Had a friend sending me pics all day though and quite like most of what I've seen. Will comment later in detail.

But mostly, I'm interested in knowing (and it's much more likely I'll get noticed here than trying a TFW thread) if anyone managed to ask Hasbro why the Takara Devastator isn't gimped like theirs?

Because goddamnit yeah I need to now keep on top of shit to be able to preorder that. Takara or bust.

It certainly was a mixed Botcon for Hasbro.

Sky Reign is the shit. At first I had my heart set on Defensor but now it's a toss up between Victorion, Defensor, Optimus Maximus and Sky Reign. All four look boss as beeswax.

As for Devastator; Hasbro and Takara focus on different audiences for TFs. Since there is more of a pull for pure G1 in Japan Takara is spending more for a admittedly better version of Big Green although Hasbro has availability and options (retail and SDCC) on their side.

As of now it's a waiting game to see which Construticon set will be the clear winner.

Ruination when?

Wreckers when?

This first.

And in those EXACT colors. Don't want no grey combined parts or stupid blue Armorhides.

So sort of related to transformers, but this is making a comeback:

Neat.

So whose silhouette is this?

Limbs don't match Bruticus and chest doesnt' seem to match SkyLynx. Victorion maybe?
