According to Kyde, Smokescreen and "Demolisher" are redecos.

I assume Smokescreen is a redeco of Crosswise, seeing as that was the original working name for the mold to begin with.

The Deluxe Optimus Prime toy is probably the "Armada Optimus Prime" listing from Cybertronian Enquirer.

EDIT 2: According to Cybertronian Enquirer, Crosswise and Landmine redecos are both due in September.

So Smokescreen = Crosswise redeco, "Demolisher" (or "Demolishor") = Landmine redeco?

I like those new Beast Wars figures, but the Unicron seems kinda iffy to me. Looks more like an Armada figure than the Armada Unicron.

My friends, do you realize what this means!?!?!

The titanium series WW Optimus is the beggining of the new WW series!!!!!!

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!! HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!



Also the new cybertron unicrons' alternate mode looks like the ark kinda.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who hadn't seen her mother for seven years.
One day, on the way to her mother, she met a wolf.
The wolf asked her if she would be taking the path of pins, or the path of needles.
When the girl said she would be taking the path of pins, the wolf hurried of down the path of needles, and ate up the little girls' mother.

I had no choice but to register and voice this one. Is it just me, or does Metroplex absolutely suck? (Assuming that the large crane-armed-bandit who transforms into a squattier crane-armed-bandit with a head is Metroplex and not someone else.)

It's not just you...

I really like how they re-invented Primal. He's somewhere in between Beast Wars and Beast Machines.

The Unicron looks very kin to Noisemaze to me.

I also think I'm going to get a Primus, simply because, while he's neat, he's also a massive toy that will go on sale for 50% off after the holiday.

True about Primus. I doubt I'll get one, but I'll have to see.

Of the two BW leaders, I REALLY like how Megatron came out. The beast modes do look more like Beast Machines designs, only better. But yeah, if that's how Primal had looked in BM (at the very least, something like this) it would have made some vast improvements. Not sure if I'll be getting Primal yet, but Megs I'll be picking up.

Unless THIS is the two-pack, in which case I don't have much choice in the matter. ;)
