Just makes the Junkions look way out of scale to other deluxes. No more so than Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker mind you. Transformers rarely have proper scale between their vehicle modes so it doesn't really bother me that much. Karl YES!!! Yes, you see? SIZE IS IMPORTANT! This is what I've always said! SEEKERS NEED TO BE LARGER. Er, than, you know, the Autobot cars etc. Gosh I'm the cleverist ever.

In what way are the Junkions out of scale? Their motorbike modes were always meant to be fit for use by other giant robots, not humans.

Bigger than the jets plane modes and the cars

Seeing that 3rd party Trailbreaker makes me wonder just how hard it is to make a decent chunky remake of him. :-(

I don't think I'll be able to resist Skystalker and Breacher repaints. Two fine scout figures.

Loving the as usual epic fall out any and all news brings over on TFW. Half pissed because they wont get them in the US, the other half pissed because Hasbro would even waste their time with such rubbish repaints, even though they wont come out in the US.
Bonkers.
Personally I am slightly baffled by the selection aside from Hotspot which seems like a fine choice and has the added bonus of the new head likely having a more Prime like look that might serve as a good replacement for Botcon Pyro.
Against all reason I'm also loving the Samurai Megatron just as much as I love Sam the Overlord. I think the 4 uses of that mould will be lined up alongside my collection of classic Prime repaints.
RTS legends with added weapons also lsound good.
The rest I'll need to see final photos of because bonkers.

Hot Spot? Damn.

I'm looking at those legends and guessing minor remoulds packaged with existing Cyberverse Prime weapons?
I like the sound of Tomahawk Springer. I might buy that, depending on if it has the original c-clip launchers or mechtech weapons.

Never a Good Spot. The lack of artwork for Hot Spot shows how little used he's been in recent years. The only memorable role he's played since the late 80s was in DW's TWW2 story arc.

Wasn't there going to be a Botcon Hotspot/Defensor from RID Prime? And there's a LoC Hotspot that's a Prime repaint.

The Botcon RID Prime repaint would have been perhaps the greatest exclusive repaint done by anyone anywhere. With the new Defensor head you got the gestault as well.
The titanium effort was a poor alternative.

I'm rather liking a few of them. Hotspot is a must. Megatron would look great alongside Overlord Bludgeon and Banzaitron. brawns a bit weird. Swerve and definitely Wheelie I like too. CJ and Springer look good too but I already have good versions of both.

Hotspot does indeed look good. Megatron is also pretty sweet.

I wonder if there's a 2nd Ultimate Giftset out there with the other 2 Asia exclusive Legions in? (Hoist and Bluestreak?) If they've produced something in the colours of the cancelled CH Prime I wonder if we might get Combat Hero Megatron too? Please lord, not the Classics Vs pack mold though! I'd settle for a Legend/Legion

Must own that Combat Hero Prime giftset.
Most of those PCC releases look to be only marginal improvements - I don't like the red Doubleclutch, Mudslinger looks okay. I quite like the look of Sledge, and Skyhammer recast as an Autobot, but maybe not enough to import. Some of these are still Hasbro stock photography aren't they? I'd be surprised if Steamhammer doesn't get a unified colour scheme. Hope they get some chroming on the Dinobots.

A lot of thought has gone into those hand weapons. Well done Legends guys.
