lol!
That'd sell some Sam's Club memberships!

 

Wow... that's weak.

Bendy Prime is a great mold.

Longrack and Buzzsaw would be passable molds if they were at least new decos (though still overused).

Blurr is really only if you're desperate to own a version of Blurr (or want to use his oversized head for an alternator bash).

Runamuck... that mold should never have been born. Possibly the worst post-G1 mold ever. It's not even good kitbash fodder. Again, you could use the head for something... I guess... if you got the whole 5-pack on ultra-clearnce....

Oh you just HAD to go there!   Ah, well, Henkei T-cracker has rendered this point moot for me. (I'll go back to fantasizing that someone will one day mistakenly donate the Botcon set to my Goodwill someday...)

 

CRAPTACULAR! (Wallet thanks me). . .

 

They wouldn't even have to do that. Just put Sunstorm in there, and almost everyone would be on that one... But just in case some people refuse to count him, toss Thundercracker in for good measure.

Eh, easy pass for me. I've already owned and sold all of those molds (I like bendy Prime enough, but I like my Nemesis version more) and the others are kind of bad to decent, but not really worth getting again.

A nice set to pick up for anyone with kids (assuming it's decently priced) or if you know any kids whom are into Transformers.

...though I do have to wonder why Hasbro keeps diging that old Sideswipe/Runamuck mold out for... it was horrible in Armada, it's two Universe uses were horrible, it's Cybertron use was horrible and this new repackage of it is also horrible...

Hasbro: THIS IS A BAD MOLD! ONE OF THE FEW MOLDS THAT IS ALMOST UNIVERSALLY REVILED! PLEASE STOP RELEASING IT! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE STOP AND SPARE OUR POOR EYES FROM BLEEDING!!!!

 

Damn. I really want that Prime, but I alrady have Longrack, Blurr, and Buzzsaw...

 

Got Longrack already, no need for the others.. Even if Blurr is semi tempting... Will get Animated instead.

 

Worth it ;-)

 

Does he come with that spear?

 

Unluckily, no.

 

Shame. Might have picked him up if he had.

 

I believe that spear was from one of the Target exclusive repaints of Energon Skyblast.

 

The first one that was called Skyblast? I thought all the Energon repaints had black/gray energon weapons?

 

Nah, it's some Japanese exclusive, but I have no idea about its nature. It was a random gift with some old purchase.

 

Yeah, it looks a little pale. I dunno. I know some were sold seperately at Botcon '04 and some were Japanese exclusives. I got one of the purple Botcon ones for Alpha Trion.

 

I believe a lot of these were given away at various retail chains for buying x amount of dollars in new toys or some such. Though, there's so many that I don't know any way to actually identify them all unless someone actually knows...

Ah. Yeah, I've got a black Japanese exclusive Cruellock sword (looks great on Universe Onslaught) so that makes sense.

 

Agreed... saving my money on this one.

 

"HasBLOW is forcing us at gunpoint to buy a warehouse store exclusive of four overstock figures from a past toyline packaged together with a redeco! EMOTICONVOMITTING! BAAAWWW! THIS IS TAKING UP SLOTS FOR NEW MOLDS FOR TRAILBREAKER AND WINDCHARGER! TAKARA WOULDN'T DO THIS TO US!"

All I can say is my chances of getting this set are pretty good since everyone is hating on it. Though hating an exclusive doesn't stop some people from buying them for resale on ebay, apparently. I'm looking at YOU, Shattered Glass...

And scream "PLAYSKOOL" all you want, but a toy like Armada Smokescreen is more durable and fun six years after the fact than any Titanium figure fresh out of the packaging could ever be.
