The only bad thing I can see about using CW molds is if they don't combine anymore.

Wave 1 is kinda a meh. Though official pictures this afternoon might help.

Still hoping Starscream is a combiner torso.

>>6430980
Ok, Dreadwing and Darkwing might combine due to the different nosecone on Darking allowing it to slot in to Dreadwings back. The CW ports are just icing.

>>6430992
CW Prime was supposed to be, and this SS looks pretty directly inspired by IDW

>>6430993
Probably part of POTP since they seem to be integrating stuff from multiple lines, and using Twincast and Sounblaster wouldn't be out of place.

Oooohhhh, nooo, there's literally no other issue with having shitty molds designed specifically to be limbs over solid individual figures instead of new, exciting designs we could actually appreciate for their aesthetics and engineering. No, there's nothing abysmal about this, not at all. You see, we were always at war with Eurasia, folks!

>>6431020
Now THAT'S how you kill my interest in a figure!

You'll have to modify it to work properly, since only the center of the Matrix works with TR figures, the handles need to be removed.

All those three figures at the very least look good in both their vehicle and robot modes and therefore all work as collector pieces, their shortcomings are on excessive engineering rather than the actual aesthetics themselves. CWs have neither appealing robots or vehicles, and it honestly shocks me to see people trying to apologise for that.

Is it just me, or that leader Rodimus seems to be able to change from normal Hot Rod to Rodimus?
Or there is a smaller figure inside of it?

>>6430994
It's the Titanium all over again, but I don't care.

We finally have a Leader Rodimus Prime. The rest of the line could be shit, but it's worth it for this alone.

Looks like Hasbro basically ripped off FP Protector and DX9 Carry in the process, which is funny.

>>6431020
Looking at the back of the Matrix, it doesn't seem to turn into a TM. It actually looks like a small LED light, possible?

Holy shit, I said to myself "watch PotP be about little Matrix keys or something". Never thought I'd be right.

Becaus that Hound was a cw deluxe right?

>>6431139

Very different figures, I own both and wrist swivels on a hand that folds in for transformation is something I've never seen before

>>6431122
Did he just say Voyagers have slots in the arms for TMs? dafug.

>>6431122
So PotP is essentially a rehash of CW and TR with new additions such as Leader Class power suits ala Super Mode and the main focus is on matrixes that various size class can hold and is also TR compatible . Sounds cool

>>6431122
What other characters would fit the leader class gimmick?

I can only think of Orion -> Optimus and Saber -> Star Saber.

>>6431122
>deluxes come with armor

Wow. This is either going to decrease the amount of plastic on the figures themselves, or drive the prices up even higher. Either way, I'm out. I don't want to pay extra for shitty accessories that I don't even want.

MP Tracks looks really flat compared to the others. Also there's more visible hollowness than other MPs.

I think that's a big part of his charm. He's "sleek", really. It's nice to see a bot with a different body type. Unless you're trying to infer something else by the word "flat", in which case I have no idea, because his colors and paint job are most certainly not "flat" by any definition of the word..

Shockwave. Roleplay alt. modes don't do much for me, and it wasn't so much the shade of purple that he was, but the fact that it looked so cheap in unpainted plastic. I don't hate the figure, but I certainly didn't love it. Just looked cheap as fuck for a $100 toy.

I've actually enjoyed all of my MP purchases. I did not buy MP-36 because I want my Megatron to be silver, so I'm hoping for a repaint or I might just get a 3P one. Still undecided.
