    Dragstrip is a female for the Animated universe. The jokes about making the character a drag queen have been done already ;-) :lol

    Nevertheless, still getting it though.

    He's THE Motormaster - it's like a 'Batman /The Batman' kinda thing. :) 

    It's an OK box, though I would have preferred a bit more art in my boxart. The container is the least of my concerns though (even if its cash value as part of the set might be measurable in double-digits)

    We're talking about BotCon figures, so I'd suggest BotCon.com. ;)

    This would have to be the most boring Botcon box-art we've seen in years. Then again, It's just packaging so... eh. :lol

    The box art is still cool and all, but it still feels a bit plain compared to other sets.

    I actually like the simplicity, the first thing I think of is "race cars", which, for the Stunticons, I'd imagine makes sense.

    I'm definitely not against simplicity at all, but this really doesn't do anything for me. And maybe the problem is last year's G2 box was just too damn gorgeous :D 

    My hunch right now is that the box can be used as some sort of 'playset'. Maybe this is what the actual stage the Stunticons are performing on looks like, with each of the con taking the position of where their image is located..or maybe it's just a giant billboard. I dunno. If that's true, bonus points for trying to do something that will let people use the box when posing their figures, but I think I'd rather have a really cool looking box, myself.

    a bit underwhelming i think


    i think if they wanted to go the "billboard" look they coulda been a lot more creative and "in universe" with it but as it stands its pretty basic and pretty boring. not that its terribly bad! i love the colors and logos and checkerbox-y stuff just. yeah. was expecting a bit more i think :D 


    ah well

    I like it. It stands out as something way different, like TFA always did. Can't wait!
