    The money they put into shit like this could help the main line. The quality of the main line is going down the toilet. We're getting upsized legions to pass for deluxe class now for Christ's sake. Why not just leave the building blocks to Lego? Does Hasbro really need to go into that market?

    Obviously they think that these on their own will make a profit based on any money put into their development. I'm glad for more tf stuff coming out that I have no interest in, it helps my wallet.

    Oh dear god. Why is there so much confusion over simple issues. The upsized legions are aimed at the younger audience. Generations is aimed at an older audience.

    Constructabots is an experiment much like PCC was. They're checking out new ideas for viability and I guarantee that the recent revelation that they transform without the need to be disassembled has boosted that lines sales potential significantly.

    Just finished watching Vange1us's video review of these things. Wheeljack does seem like a far better figure than I thought from the pictures I've seen.

    while i don't think they look all that great, i do think they'd be fun to mix and match.

    especially optimus and megatron.

    i have a feeling that you have not seen many legions or deluxe figures.

    because this, in no way looks like this.

    Looks like these are going to be fun. Despite how bad of an idea it is, I'm even tempted to check out a couple when they show up here. Hurrrr

    They look nice enough but I won't be paying full retail for them. I'll just wait until they hit discount stores like Kre-O has been doing recently. Not that I've felt compelled to buy any Kre-O anyway, even on the cheap.
