let me guess, despite being a large voyager/leader jetfire's gonna be marked as "commander" because he combines with commander optimus and comes with minicons so they can charge 100+ for a voyager again.

Armada Jetfire looks terrible. I know the design has always been bulky because of his alt-mode, but they usually try to keep him well proportioned and you just KNOW that they will overcharge solely because they're pairing him with 3 minicons. Easily the most tragic release because Armada Jetfire is my favorite design of the character.
AOE Bumble looks alright, but maybe also below average too. The biggest problem with the figure is the legs and the arms, not to mention that Bayverse Bumblebee is one of the most overproduced versions of the character.
Evasion mode Optimus looks fine? For what he is, it's probably a serviceable figure, but unless you're a huge AOE fan or diehard Optimus fan, there's no reason to buy this.
Rise of the Beasts Scourge is terrible no matter how many figures they keep releasing of this shit character.
TFOne Soundwave looks good. Soundwave seems to be one of the few characters where they don't massively botch a figure of him, just like the Studio Series 86 version.
Thundercracker like Soundwave also looks good. Both characters ironically have had solid releases in Studio Series 86, so unless the build quality turns out atrocious with their One versions, i think it'll be more or less the same. Overall, these reveals were damn underwhelming and Hasbro's incessant price increases isn't helping here

I don't collect 21st century characters, so I'll be saving a lot of money it seems.

Jetfire looks just fine to me, I just hope he's not Voyager size but with a Commander price tag because of the minicons. He can still form Optimus Primes pants so he needs some proper size legs to not look weird.

If it's anything like the original the full figure turns into the pants, not just the legs. So it'd be doable at old voyager height which is normally classified as leader class now. And then the minicons being a thing as seen witht he price hike of the last voyager (nemesis prime) they chose to charge commander price for it even though it didn't come with the pants trailer.
You know they're gonna pull this shit with jetfire.

I wasn't in a position where I could get Armada Jetfire when he was on shelves, so I welcome this just so I can own what will almost definitely be a superior version of the toys.

Wait wait wait hold the fuckin phone. There's something weird and interesting going on with that pants transformation that I'm trying to wrap my head around.

Goldfire is Goldbug?
Looks like a lot of reissues? But I guess picking up extra Quintessons and Allicons are always good.

Yes
Nice getting a new Drift after nearly two decades. Odd that he's a voyager though. I hope that IDW Fortress Maximus is a good size and not a voyager with some extra bits to attach. Warden really doesn't cut it anymore.

Specifically Devastation Goldfire, so it will be a repaint of Devastation Bumblebee with a new head.
IDW Fort Max is extremely unexpected. I'm gonna guess he'll be a retool of Megatronus.

He'll need a new head and all of the detail smoothed out but the basic silhouette is there.

Depends what you mean by "superior". If you mean More articulated then yes, but like anything else? Iffy.
If I have money at any point or this is on significant discount at any point I may possibly get this given I have that used optimus with no trailer I lucked out on.
TFW quintesson judge reissue has to apparently wait a whole fucking year extra to come out. 0 dev time needed I'll never understand why hasbro is like this where some reissues get this treatment while others just drop without being announced like when siege prime came back in stock online everywhere a few years ago. Glad I lucked out years ago and got a judge that wasn't nightmare price.

oh shit this is the new redo of hero mashers they did recently yeah? It's interesting how they had a gap of these and then just randomly brought them back unprompted. No clue if they ever went on discount but yeah I remmeber seeing em once.
