G1-esque repaint?

A G1-esque repaint using the retooled, more G1 head with "ears" will be released in the DOTM Movie Subline called "Movie Trilogy" line, along with a Soundblaster-esque Deluxe Soundwave.

EDIT: Took a closer look at that head... Now I can't sleep, damn that's freaky. Also great, another pizza cutter MechTech. Kinda wanna see the other accessories as well

I gotta stop looking at these preview pictures

The good:


Nice car mode

The bad:


Simplistic arms and legs
Lack of paint apps


The ugly


WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?
Runner up: Stupidest looking MechTech weapon

If this really is being recolored and released in a G1-ish subline, I'll wait for that. I like the blue, but that robot will give me nightmares.

Yuck!

His face looks like a mech clown, give him a couple of quicky paint aps and you've got the freakiest figure of the line.

First thing I'll do if I find this figure is tear off the head and throw out whatever the hell that mech tech weapon is supposed to be. The rest looks like it could be ok, it's just hard to look past the head

Sigh. So tired of the movie ascetic. Just give me more Classic or Prime figures already.

I didn't know they were making Walking Dead crossover transformers.

I think the designers are getting sick of the movie toys and just giving up.

Nope. Waiting for the re-sculpted head repaint. On sale. WTF happened with the DOTM line? I haven't felt so disenchanted with Transformers since the Machine Wars line...

I like DOTM a lot more than Machine Wars.

So far, the figures I like outweigh those I don't. I think these are good irrespective of line:

Megatron
Skyhammer
Topspin
Jolt
Air Raid
Ratchet
Crankcase

Then there are others that I'd say are pretty good.
I'd put Shockwave in the list above too, though it would be mostly for the robot mode.

What bothers me is the scattershot nature of the line. The whole Wreckers thing, where the modes don't match within any given subline. Major characters are still MIA and while they've had more time in the oven, they look that much worse for it (Soundwave, Wheeljack).

HA looks like it's been abandoned. The HA Basics were overordered and the later waves are nowhere to be found -- it looks like the strategy of using vehicles and humans that were not in the movie at all didn't exactly work.

I don't even know if we're getting the large HA anymore -- I'm beginning to think those sightings in Canada were mirages. Hasbro doesn't seem to be doing much with the line -- two new molds since the movie is kind of underwhelming.

I'm hoping we're about to move into the time where we get more of the oddball but nifty figures like Air Raid or ROTF's Dirge. Something's gotta offset that hideous Wheeljack!
