    I think they might be referring to the ball joint where the upper leg meets the pelvis.

    So he collects hips joints? Better keep him away from retirement homes, then.

    I'd be with you there, except they use the term on the 6" G1 Ultra Magnus blurb. (They also don't use it on Starscream's.)

    Still had no idea WTH a "Mary Sue" was. Wikipedia to the rescue! For those of you who were also unfamiliar with the term: here.

    Yes. (The missile launchers detach from the shoulder tips.) I don't think we've seen vehicle mode pics yet.

    What makes the lack of a profile for the Fallen even more odd is he is suppose to be part of a two pack with WW Megatron if I recall correctly

    WW Megatron is supposed to be part of a two-pack with a re-release of WW Prime that has his joints improved.

    I can't wait for Sunstorm (Finally a mold that does him justice) G1 Magnus and WWI Megatron. Fallen..... Is an awsome mold but just seems a shadow of his comic form.

    YES! The bad joints are what first made me not buy that figure! With that problem fixed (and possibly some of that RED added onto his shoulders (like the comic art and his little 3" buddy)) will definitely make me want to buy him. Even better if he's packed together with WWI megs!

    Were either of the 6" two-pack rumors confirmed? I know Don said he thought the revised WWOP would be in a 2-pack with Megs, but it didn't sound to me like he was sure. Meanwhile, I don't even know where the WWMegs/Fallen 2-pack rumor got started.

    Honestly, I'd prefer no 2-pack. I'm quite happy with the WWOP I already have, and see no reason to buy another, thanks.

    I don't even think it was that, I thought it was a new design. If there was a comic form, did it look as sucky?

    The reviews are nice, I noticed that they gave Cliffjumper an excuse to not have a weapon.

    It was. but it was a redesign. Don said so himself as he designed him.

    I remember reading about a two pack of WW Megs and The Fallen just after Botcon. I'll see if I can find the news article that I read it from on TFormers.

    Edit: I found it- http://www.tformers.com/BotCon-2006-Hasbro-New-Product-Unveiling/6609/news.html

    Back to the topic of this thread. I personally really like all of those bios. After reading the Sunsotorm one, I'm now interested in picking him up when he's released. I'm hoping they do a Classics Shockwave, and a Galvatron. Peace out.

    Man, I can't believe I have missed that one... :)  though I didn't really pay attention to the minicon repaints. This means Hasbro HAS to plan some Titanium/Classics Shockwave, they wouldn't have bought the name for one minicon, as that'd be money thrown out on the window... I bet Macromedia Shockwave's owners made Hasbro pay a lot for the right to the name.
