    So, I need to buy the Superion and then the add-on? Which Superion is that?

    ROTF Superion or the original Superion Maximus mold from Energon.

    Only 3rd party I own is the justitoy dinobots but I can consider them the best because Takara made them 10x bigger 30 years ago.

    Yeah, would have been good to differentiate between the two (add-on/figure).

    ATM both of mine would involve the FP X-fire 02 sets.

    Colossus=favorite add-on

    Explorer=favorite figure

    Alls I can tell you is... HE WILL BE MINE! Oh yes, HE WILL BE MINE!!!

    Haha yea I know! It's the KM-03 Cyclops, and I reaaaaaally want this guy. Hearts of Steel Shockwave is just totally amazing looking.

    So far it looks like the Non-Reflector is a must and it's in my price range, what's a good price for this guy. I'm looking around and the cheapest looks to be about 85

    I know, I haven't even read any of the Hearts of Steel stuff, and must admit that while it is extremely cool looking, I am not in the market for any of the renditions of Knight Morpher, but ever since I saw the first renders of this guy, I knew I was all-in!

    if you are giving someone advice on something they might buy, yes it is. You can't give all the good with none of the bad. You gotta be honest.

    From the ones I have I have to say Warcry. Protector is awesome but I dont consider him a figure.

    Alright, well I've got a pretty good standing on the really good ones, but they aren't cheap that's for sure. I'm looking to spend around 100 bucks, what is best then? The not-reflector seems cool, but those insecticons seem pretty neat too. Are any one of those better over others? Dang I wish i had more money! I would go after exgraver, but then I'd have to go for all the bots, and I'm not sure if in the future I could get them all.

    when the set first came out, a lot of people were forcing the leg parts on and stuff on the figures broke (I think the leg flaps). I believe many people who have reviewed the set have mentioned this.

    So basically people were trying to force things in ways that they shouldn't and broke their toys.

    This isn't a Q.C. issue with CC then.

    Did they remold the legs in the second version they made or something?

    actually, it was an issue of the pieces being too tight of a fit and people having to force the pieces on. (am reading through the feedback thread currently).

    Edit: just adding this after reading more, it seems the real issues is a combination of no real instruction of the correct angle to put on the leg piece and the extremely tight fit you have to force.

    Also, wanting to add more to the Original Posters recent question: depending on your preference of how figures should be will determine what you like more.

    So, what I said was absolutely correct then.

    CC isn't the greatest engineering marvel by any means, but it definitely doesn't "break figures".

    It still blows my mind that there are adults that do this though... like taking your time and logically figuring how to fit a piece into a whole is so mind boggling hard and frustrating that they mini rage, and jam so hard they break shit.

    Anyways yea, CC's definitely not a Q.C. ridden piece, even though I feel that the mold was generally best for D.I.A. Commander. It seems like literally everything on that one fits like a glove.

    I have the i-Gear Coneheads,but I see them as more "Hasbro oversights" than third party.

    City Commander started this for me.
    Shadow Sycther really works for me, Protector didn't.
    The first limb of Hercules has me very excited.

    As soon as I get i-GEar Presser or MMC Sixshot the above list is subject to change.

    Add=ons.
    Original MP Coronation Set
    Renderform Darkwing head add-on.
    i-Gear Kup head - if only for the price and how handy that screwdriver has been.
