    I have yet to read it actually but I've heard it's pretty average. I LOVE the designs though.
    That... would be beyond awesome. I want to get into model railroads and trains eventually (just not really financially feasible, nor do I have the space at the moment), so this would be right up my alley.

    I bought it for the designs and I'm glad I did. The story does nothing for me really.

    This looks fantastic! I'll be there with a day one preorder. I still have the smallest glimmer of hope that someone will make a HoS Megatron cannon and Insecticon train set.

    I'm super confused. There was the original hearts of steel and then I know there was some revolution stuff, but what were the specific issues / what was the title of this comic referencing a maximal ship, because I don't remember that at all.

    Meh. It's their way of trying to make sense of some of the "What if!" comics that have been done. I want to see how they integrate the HP Lovecraft and X-Files crossovers. lol

    I'm a little sad MMC dropped their interest it in - but I suppose those seekers and probably Nemesis Prime likely sold like crap. They and Boat-wave all have flaws but they're still cool figures.

    I was too, the story is spread across like three or four titles that I had to track down. The comics are cited on the wiki I believe.

    They’re also some of MMC’s earliest figures. I feel that if they did some more HoS today, with the quality they have, the figures would be glorious.

    Looks nice. Colours are a bit wrong for the type of vehicle (should be more metallic bronze or gold).

    And I absolutely don't care for Bumblebee so I'll likely wait hoping for repaints.

    I do know that when I get a figure from this mould I'll have to put it somewhere high on a shelf or risk having my GF stealing it from me: she really likes the legends class figures

    That completely destroys the concept then.

    If he scales with the MMC boys, I'm going with 'First Annual Iacon Steam Punk Convention'. Do a banner over them, maybe get a monocle for my MMC Shockwave'.

    Other than the new artwork from Guido in the explanation, it wasn't worth the time and effort to make a What If alternative reality part of the main story.

    I guess I had to be there then, because the whole point of a "what if" story is to not be part of the main story.

    Honestly, this Bee is cool enough that I might blow $40 for one of the Seekers or the black Optimus. They're not bad and decent enough quality for that price.
