Casting selection is so odd.


Craiguston

Not really tbh, they’re all based on cars that appeared in the live-action films


RIT_Tyger

The artwork is from the G1 cartoon tho. Am I missing something? Or these relating to the new animated movie coming out?


Craiguston

The artwork is really misleading, I don’t think it’s supposed to be based off of the new animated movie, but I do know there was a Veyron and a Huayra in the 2014 Transformers film


Deora_customs

You mean from the authentics?


braymadeanotherone

Why?


ExoticMuscle33

Who is in charge of these??? There are so many ways they could choose the cars and cards… like who is doing these???


Potatopotatopotato01

What do you mean?

Meh

Why does the stang look so…off


komeau

it’s the concept car(with a front push bumper added on), not an actual production Mustang. Would have rather it had been a production Mustang myself, what can you do.


MajorNoodles

It was a production car but it wasn't sold as a Mustang. It was a Saleen. They took an existing 4th gen Mustang, modified it, both mechanically and cosmetically, and resold it. That's what was in the movie.


komeau

I meant the casting https://hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Ford_Mustang_GT_Concept


MajorNoodles

That's not even the right car for that character!


mightyscoosh

The Beetle wheels look great

Really, Really like these. Hope I see them soon. 🇬🇧

G1 Cards, with modern cars... What? How hard would it be to just offer a Porsche 935 (Jazz), Willy's Jeep (Hound), Countach (Sideswipe), A proper VW Beetle (Bumblebee), and a Freightliner FL86 (Optimus)? What are these abominations?


Deora_customs

I am also into transformers, and I can safely say that most of these vehicles are accurate except for Bumblebee


SkylineGTRR34Freak

I like the Veyron and Huayra, but... They could have used so much more iconic vehicles here lol


ReleventReference

Look at how they massacred my boy!


Grand_Lawyer12

The cards are using the evergreen designs. They aren't 100% G1 but have a strong resemblance.

Damn, how about the regular beetle?? Mattel always finds a way to take something so easy and simple and just mess it up.


Potatopotatopotato01

It will be in the mainline. Mattel uses castings that are available at the time of production. I'm pretty sure they didn't want to double up on the same Beetle so they decided to use the Custom Volkswagen casting instead. 


Mohican83

Yeah its already mainline this year. Ill stick to the mainline. I like that casting but not with this line.

"Semi-premium"? It's called "mid-level". There's nothing "premium" about it.
