Reports are coming in on other forums and Discord of some major QC issues with the Breakdown/Windsweeper set. Namely, people are getting two of the same Targetmaster for Windsweeper instead of one of each (note: not my pic):
Other reported issues include joints not properly attached on Breakdown causing them to crack, misaligned parts that prevent pieces that are supposed to attach together for the transformation from actually lining up and connecting together, loose internal components rattling around inside the figures, and general mold degradation making the figures feel incredibly loose overall.

Hmm..I'll have to check mine. I got it the other day, but due to everything I've ordered in the last 6 months all arriving within the span of like 3 days, I haven't gotten around to checking them out yet.
Was hoping Legacy Vector Prime was going to surprise me, but I knew he wasn't going to live up to one of my favorites of all time. Most of the Jhiaxus reuse doesn't bug me over all and it mostly works for him. I'm a bit disappointed there isn't any clockwork gear detail until you get to the ship mode but then again that was how it was with the original looking at them side by side. The only positives to me are the brighter paint choices and the fact that half of the ship mode isn't a backpack. The loss of the gimmicks aren't horrible either. But considering this is the modern equivalent pricepoint and seeing the size difference hurts. But I miss the vambraces.
Also is anyone else having trouble getting the ships nose to tab in at all?

Reddit has this pic of the upcoming bludgeon and ruckus two pack.
If it was funny, then yes.
...and the award to laziest repaint of the year goes to...
Yes, both were contenders, but the judges were getting sick of the other (3?) uses of this mold already.
It's not even the least changed use of that mold (Cyberverse Tarn) so I'm not sure what qualifiers your using to call it the laziest redeco.
I mean, it's pretty close to the Spotlight Thundercracker and Orion Pax comics, so maybe a Pre-War Bludgeon?. It's at least something a little different than a barely different redeco with a new head.
Yeah, that's pretty much IDW pre-Pretender Bludgeon's colors. I feel like the general mold design suits that better than the mass retail version trying to shoehorn in his shell look, but I don't feel any need to own either. Either they'll get around to an all new mold that actually looks like Bludgeon, or I'll just leave the HFTD version on the back of the shelf to quietly eat itself via rubber rot.
It's specifically Bludgeon from Stormbringer isn't it?

Looks right to me.
-ZacWilliam, I mean it's not a version of the Character I need, but Pre-Pretender IDW
for the turbo nerds who care, at least one person on twitter is mad over ruckus's deco because the deco on his arms are based on the photo from the tfwiki where someone put the stickers that were meant to be on the g1 toy's waist on the arms instead
lmao
i sure do hope hasbro fired whoever was responsible for the deco out of a cannon, this transgression CANNOT stand.

To be fair, but the new toy's waist is too small for that detail to begin with.
But double lol for Locoman's quick image replace on the wiki

I was not at all expecting them to go all out with making Bludgeon into the IDW1 pre-Pretender version from Stormbringer. That looks SICK!!!
