    Personally speaking I'd prefer the smaller version; I never got it the first time round, and the large version is LARGE, which would make it more difficult to get back to the UK in my luggage. It's a damn nice design either way.

    I wanna be excited about these, but they're all giving me the vibe Dreadwind gave me last year--cool, but not blowing me away.

    I kinda wish they'd stuck with just expanding the Classicsverse. Oh well, if this is the worst thing that happens to me all year...life's pretty good.

    I'm sure there is another freebie set like last year, so there may be two more Decepticons to go along with the Autobots.

    I really hope that they use the smaller Energon Megatron as it's smaller, fitting in better with the other figures. Plus, I think less people have that mold than one of the versions of the larger versions. I have the 4 versions of the mold already but a new head would make a big difference to me.

    This sounds like a great idea....but the more I hear about it, the more it feels like it should have been kept in reserve for next year and used with the animated Line. Due to the fact that A) they could then have used deluxe class for Megatron and Optimus & B) Animateds figures have far more...Expressive faces to display good and evil on.

    The Megatron sounds like a fantastic idea. Silver and blue. Yup, like it.

    I have no complaints about this being a less desired set. Since I can't get there this year, hopefully that means I can actually GET the toys not in my non-attending box set.
    Kinda glad I didn't shell out for the loose set too.

    This darthconvoy poster is obviously Pete or another FP employee using a "trial balloon" to get the fans excited over a so-called leak. Both posts occurred shortly before FP released official information.

    While the first bits of information may be accurate, this information could be false to leave us continually guessing.

    At any rate, I feel the phrase "evil Rodimus" is redundant.
