    Ironhide was one of my favorite's in the live action movie's. I didn't like that they killed him off and jazz. I would like to have movie Jazz, but that is a pipe wet dream.

    I never thought I'd say this, but I actually really appreciate the use of kibble on this figure. The GMC front and the faux bumper on the front of the chest being a couple of areas. Unlike MPM-4, they knew that these pieces would be physically impossible to achieve without kibble without compromising accuracy and they went for accuracy. Again, while it's commendable that they tried to use as little faux parts as possible on MPM-4, perhaps a little bit more kibble would have made for a better figure.

    they killed off the good characters so they could give us new shitty characters and sell us new shitty toys.

    To be fair Hound is a better character personality wise than Ironhide.

    i think hound is the best of the new characters but still, he's too over the top and 1 dimensional. a lazy caricature that's been done to death.

    That sums up the entire AOE/TLK autobots, knights cast and every single randos they tried to hit us with. Barricade and Megatron are the only good things left in these movies that they refuse to embrace.

    Certainly the first time in transformers history where they’ve killed off a cast of characters to sell us new ones ;) 

    I like Hound, AND I like Ironhide. The only reason I like the other newer autobots is cause they get more lines than the originals did. More robot screentime is always a win for me (with the exception of dumb shit like wheelie humping or the baby dinobots that we’re never explained).

    It should be, but usually europe is waaay more expensive than the US. It will probobly be 110/120 at bbts.

    That is thanks to our stupidly high import tax and our government adds an additional 21% sales tax on top of that as well....

    Admittingly I did get a few figures through that store due to international shipping rates making the figures more expensive otherwise.

    Ah, fair enough. Forgot about those pesky taxes! And I guess it's not like it'd be any cheaper if Hasbro distributed the figure in Europe themselves either.

    Forget I said anything at all :)

    I still haven't bought Bee or Optimus (I was a bit on the fence), but not I'm sold. I'll be collecting this whole line. :p
