I like the chrome on Nightstick. Not sure about the purple on Cyclonus though. Hound looks far better than the Hasbro version.

Straight in from BBTS: Legends wave 5
I really like the look of Cosmos, Warpath and Rodimus, but Wheelie's robot mode is lacking a bit. Nice vehicle mode though.

I love all there Henkei images and I'd love to add a few Legends to the mix after seeing those (First saw Wheelie via Percy in the Southern Meet and didn't think much of him but Warpath and Cosmos rule!)

Out of the henkei, Hound looks the best. Cyclonus is too...lilac. Needs to be a much darker purple. Cheetor still looks dreadful, thus proving that you can't polish a turd.
The Legends figures. Photoshopped to look way better than they actually will be, methinks. Cosmos wouldn't be so bad except for those awful, awful arms. Wheelie looks okay, Warpath looks a bit of a mess in tank mode and clumsy as a robot. Given that we already have a deluxe Hotrod available, a reductionist version with a completely different vehicle mode seems an odd choice.
I'd like to see the Legend class done away with and bring back the 'basic' size figures which would suit Wheelie, Cosmos and Warpath (and other minibots) much, much better. It'd also look better as a line instead of having these piddly plastic mini-con sized bits of tat standing next much larger and more ornate figures in the deluxe and voyager sizes. These are homage characters that are largely going to appeal to collectors anyway, so why not put some proper love into the line instead of these horrible little bits of nonsense?

It wouldn't surprise me if Warpath is mistransformed and the barrel should point the other way.

Now i understand why Percy waits for Henkei, Hound looks AWESOME!
Cyclonus is rather nice too, though he now reminds me of BM Jetstorm.

Cyclonus looks reasonable, though his legs are too fragile-looking for my liking. Hound has just become an absolute must-buy. Cheetor just isn't doing it for me. At all. The Legends assortment - I'll pass on them all. Cosmos looks horrible in robot mode, and Wheelie isn't much better, frankly. Rodimus and Warpath are marginally superior in appearance, but they don't make me want to buy them.
So, Hound is really the only essential item here for me, with Cyclonus running a very possible second. Though I'm still puzzled as to why Hound comes with Ravage....

Supposedly, the tenuous reason is that Hound caught Ravage in a cage in mtmte.

Liking Cyclonus & Hound.I'll get Cheetor if I'm bored.
Liking the chrome on Cheetor's face,however he still doesn't look show
accurate.At least the Henkei version is better than Hasbro's.

It looks like they did Cyclonus in the same colour as the Galvatron reissue. Hound looks very nice. And Cheetor looks (for lack of a better term) rather s**tty.

Wasn't there a design spec of cosmos circulating a few months ago which looked much better than this?
I like the look of all of them but I'll pass on hotrod me thinks

That's what I thought, but it doesn't seem the turret rotates.

Not interested in Cheetor or Legends Hot Rod but the rest are all on my list. Loving the fact that Cyclonus is a Targetmaster. Are there any pictures of Nightstick in his other mode?

Hound will be redone as Swindle. You know he will.

Cyclonus looks cheap and Hound looks overly pimped. Like the legends though
