That's what I figured, but just thought it was funny that HLJ posted it like that.

Judging from the pics up on BBTS, I'd say that's a mistake on HLJ's part. On BBTS, that photo's set between photos of vehicle and robot modes, as the 'mid-transformation' shot.

Maybe someone loaned them a Hasbro photographer while their regular person was out sick.

How does Takara manage to screw this up?

Found this on HLJ. I absolutely love that this is the representation of Croc-Out's bot mode:
Here's the link otherwise:

Pravus Prime
Pre-ordered Nemesis Prime.
I'm interested to see what Lockdown looks like. "Bloody" Knock Out looks very sharp; I like that mold, but there's been so much ball dropping on the deco (IMHO), so the Crosscut style deco looks super sharp on a nice mold.
Boy Blunder
Iiiiiiiiiiinteresting.
And I knew the mold was Steeljaw, but since they already have a listing for Steeljaw in a two-pack, I figured 'Wolf' was a different character/deco.

TFSource has a typo, it should be "Buraddinokkuauto"; Bloody Knock-Out. I'd assume Wolf is Steeljaw, not sure if he'll have a new color scheme.

pics are up on Amazon Japan but still only up to figure 12
So,,,,,,,,,,,,,is the Strong arm repaint then a :
1. female ?
2. different character ?
Amazon.co.jp | ??????????????? TAV08 ????????? | ?????? ????

Design choice?

I want that Nemesis Prime repainted as Thunderclash.
The rest are decent enough. Nothing that interests me, but still cool to see some expansion.
Robogeek28
Yup, I think I would as well.

Curious about the Insecticons since these aren't apart of the Legends line? I wonder what deco they will have?
SpinalCord
I just don’t understand why that Prime cab is so severely slanted…

Love the tf animated repaints, roll bar and nemesis prime
Flexx Ark
The Ultra Magnus and Knockout are calling me to buy them…..
DarkWarGrimlock
Grabbed Junkion and Rollbar from amiami earlier today. Now have those two, the Dinobots, and Nemesis preordered. Constructicon Scoop seemed to be OOS on amiami, and I didn't see a Lockdown listing. I'll probably get those and be done with this wave. When I first heard about these, I figured I'd just get the Dinobots and be done. Boy was a wrong. I'm way too much of a sucker for faction-swapped repaints, especially evil ones.
Boy Blunder
I may have missed this in the thread, but I noticed that the Knock Out repaint says "Buradino-out" on TFSource. I figured that's a katakana/romaji name, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it's supposed to transliterate to. "Blading-Out"? "Bradin-Out"?
Anyone got an idea?
Also any clues on what "Wolf"'s color scheme is, in the Strongarm vs. Wolf pack?
