So we've got 'another' Mega Prime repaint, and a new-mould Starscream. See also the co-sell of Ironhide.
Prime, well, yay. Hasbro must have taken a hit on that mould, since they're milking it to absolute excess, the same way they did with NewBee. Can understand and ignore another repaint. Ironhide, however, is a bloody retool of the first mould with better guns. That's incredibly weak, since it indicates that's the only Ironhide we'll be getting, I'm really not fond of that mould, and was hoping for a better one.
Starscream's an interesting one, at least this explains the markings in the comic. The vehicle mode seems a lot better, no kibble and less panels. Robot however.. This looks to have similar proportions to the odd Legend. The legs are too small, and the arms are too far down, with the torso being too long. Ack. I like the arms a lot, he has actual hands now, and proper pop-out guns. Chest detailing looks neat, though the head's strange and small. Hmm, I will buy this, but it's not what I was hoping for.
