    These things are very weird like novelty rack toys.

    The diecast range may be interesting. Especially if its robot miniatures and not just cars.

    You can throw it REALLY FAR if you little brother is across the room being an annoying little punk.

    TFW DISCLAIMER: Don't throw diecast toys at your siblings it's not nice.

    Well, they're certainly better than jagged little pills.

    I'm kinda hoping for a carry case with the die-cast range toys, as well as more representation of Strongarm in toy form. She and Fixit seem to be constantly shafted compared to Grimlock, Bumblebee, and the others.

    Also, did anyone see Sawback and Slipstream on Optimus?

    They certainly aren't pretty.

    Still, good to see the brand expanding into areas it apparently wasn't available in before.

    The only one that would be mildly appealing is the Optimus truck. And that's only because you could make an interesting RHINO from MASK.

    They're not for me. Onesteps I could live with but this just isn't enticing me to buy it whatsoever.

    You have to start to ask yourself with some of this stuff, is there anything here that hasn't been done 1000 times better 100 times before?

    The answer is no. They just make things - where is the neatness? Where is that something special or new?
