The more I look at Octane/Tankor the more I wish he had huuuuuuuuuuuuge goggles like G1 Octane. They were cool.

Erm... you were the second.

Does Octane have two hands, or am I looking at another useless weed-whacker arm?

Powerglide looks great!

Sunstreaker and Octane look nifty too. The others are a bit 'meh', but certainly not bad lookin'.

Seems weird not to have Galvatron, if they really intend to have him. There's very few major big-names in the Wave 1 Lineup, bar Prowl and Sunstreaker. And it does seem odd not to have even 1 leader type in there, or a well-known character in a larger size class.

-Prowl is definitely the one I'm most impressed with, at the moment.
-Never was a huge fan of Octane, so I may need to see more pics to see how I feel about the Tankor toy.
-Gotta mirror Cliffy's thoughts on Sunstreaker
-Powerglide and Onslaught look all right. I probably won't pick them up, since I'm focussing more on deluxes, these days, though.

Does anyone have a picture of Onslaught in this colour scheme. I remember the pics of Sunstreaker, Sideswipe and Octane but I don't remember this. Cheers.

Siebertron.com I think had some pictures somewhere.. He was done up as a Swat team vehicle.

Thanx for that. I see what you mean. The colours don't do it justice. Hopefully they'll release a recolour (first time I think I've wanted one!).

Yup, gonna have to get them. Sunstreaker looks great, Prowl looks great(although if they're following, say, toon concept, the shoulder launchers aren't needed, but they would need them for the inevitable recolors to Bluestreak and Smokescreen), Octane..... I might get. He looks like of cool. And I'm loving the Powerglide design, although having him Jetfire sized seems strange. I might even get Onslaught.

Given the fact that my initial intent for this line was to just get Ironhide, whenever they release him, this is pretty good.

Cliffjumper · Post by **Cliffjumper** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 7:42 pm

Following the cartoon model would mean making Prowl as bland and uninteresting-looking as possible. His Marvel model makes Bluestreak look like Hooligan. I've said it once and I'll say it again, but if Pat Lee got nothing else right it was to use the toy layout on Prowl.

They're looking good . I'm not too sure about the SWAT colour scheme for Onslaught but the robot mode looks good and the vehicle looks a lot better than his original " generic army truck with huge cannons randomly stuck at the front and an empty flatbed."

Hey, so there's a video of the Megatron/Prime battle in the '86 transformers movie up on hasbro's universe website. Looks very badass.

I know. It's pretty close, isn't it?

(Yeah, I got bored. Sorry about the crappy quality. I did it quickly)

Springer007 · Post by **Springer007** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 2:44 am

looks good to me - you did a fine job *thumb up*. and it looks pretty spot on, i hope that will be the official colors to boot also!

Love the video too

RID Scourge · Post by **RID Scourge** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 2:45 am

Very impressive. I hope the mold's colors are similar to that.

Cliffjumper; "Following the cartoon model would mean making Prowl as bland and uninteresting-looking as possible..."

Yeah... It's true...

...But as a child I, like many, lost those shoulder missles in a hurry.
Thus making the toy more cartoon accurate.

Ziggy, the Digibash looks great and Prowl is as close to an IDW Prowl as I figure we will ever get.

...Would love to see WW titanium Prowl released in plastic, too.
(man that die cast sucked in most of those titaniums....)

I just saw this at Yojoe.com:

http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/universe/

it made me wonder, I have never seen it here before, have you seen it?

(my apologies if this has been posted before)

Cliffjumper · Post by **Cliffjumper** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 3:40 pm

It's already mentioned in N&R in the Universe thread, as it's on that part of their site and having two different topics on different things would just be a world gone topsy-turvy. Good, though, isn't it?

Oh shit, forgot. I'm meant to just post the URL and something clipped like "Already posted", aren't I?
