Thanks to HK-TF’s facebook page, we have our first in hand looks of Windblade and Hypersurge Optimus Prime. Windblade features a mostly red deco, though there also appears to be a crown of flames effect in her “hair.” which looks pretty cool. As for Optimus, he looks to be a retool of the regular deluxe Optimus Prime that primarily features a remolded chest and shoulders, as well as two new blue swords and a set of shoulder cannons. Hopefully we’ll see these two on the Stateside shortly, and here’s also hoping we get a Scourge repaint of this Optimus Prime soon!

Windblade looks to be a great figure hidden in an ugly deco. I'm looking forward to the Takara version!

Her deco is similar the new animated series pictures.

That's unfortunate, she does look pretty good but that does not sound worth it.

Yeah, it's a floppy mess. It's misproportioned, it doesn't feel solid or fun to move. Awkward tolerances and mine broke hours after opening. It current sits completely disassembled in a box waiting to be repainted into something tolerable, but I doubt I'll ever do it. Oh, and it can't stand very well.
In-hand, it feels so much worse than it looks. It's just not fun to pose or handle at all.

Wind blade figure looks bad bulky generations figure looks better but I don't like this toy line
pokemonsdoom
it's funny how we are exicted for the bigger prime,

Why does everyone hate on this toy? Serious question. I don't own it, and I'm no fan of Windblade, but that iteration of her looks much more interesting than anything else I've seen of her. Is it just a bad mold?

Can't wait for Takara to do a decent repaint of that Windblade mold.
It looks miles better then that thrilling 30 "thing" we go, especially with the less derpy head.

Seriously, I keep comparing the two, the clear looks fantastic. Wouldn't touch the other.

The light blue on Prime isn't a winner… but lovin' the above pics!! With the clear blue instead of opaque blue, that makes a world of difference!

I think a case of Mountain Dew type soda will be included with every purchase.
Nevermore
Isn't he named "Power Surge Optimus Prime", like the large toy?

I only want that Windblade, sure it has a lot of red but it still looks nice. Fan of the character = must buy for me.
Robogeek28
I'll be getting the TakTom Windblade for sure.
Prime is an easy pass.

Those blue shorts Optimus is sporting is just well…prime?
Also Windblade has that shorts look too. Reminds of the early nineties when girls wore spandex shorts under their jean shorts and they stuck out from the bottom of the jeans. Looks odd.

The red on Wingblade's legs is probably the worst colour-matching I've ever seen.

Hope to see a good redeco or retool in this molds future…

Yup. I really like the look of it, mould-wise, but it's so red. Especially after the mess that was thrilling 30 Windblade.
Luckily for customizers, painting red plastic black is way easier than painting black plastic red. If I get her I'll paint her more show-accurate and give her the thrilling 30's sword.
