We can probably expect Astrotrain to just be the Siege mold redecoed at the very least, since Evan said in one video that a SS86 Astrotrain would more than like reuse that mold.

Though, at this point, I don't think retooling it in some minor way is completely out of the question.

I hope Astrotrain and Shockwave are smoothed.

Somehow still sane

Shockwave and Soundwave could use redoes. They were already on the smaller side pre-Commander Optimus but now look tiny. Soundwave in particular looks even smaller thanks to his wider build and somewhat stubby legs.

I don’t think Shockwave would be a priority for a new mold but seeing how many molds they’re reusing, maybe he’ll get one.

Big and greebly does at least allow for the greebling to be more spread out. But either way there's a way to do it that doesn't make them look like giant fingerprints.

A subtle thing they did with Armada was have the Decepticons be more greebled and the Autobots be a bit smoother, but the former didn't look diseased with it.

I honestly like the textured design of the Siege toys. It adds a lot of visual interest to me. I don't have a problem with smooth, sleek toys, but I don't like them any better.

I welcome SOME detailing. There's a sweet spot for it, like most of the UT toys show. Enough visual space with some busy bits lets the detailing stand out to be visually appealing, rather than filling every millimeter with lines for its own sake like a Frank Milkovich drawing.

So I got my first SS Constructicon, Scrapper yesterday.
He feels way better than the Titan version. Articulation is excellent. He's solid in both modes. Transformation is involved without being asinine. If this is the way all of them are going to be, I'm going to be very happy with the finished product. Color me impressed.
