They look pretty cool but they cost to much.

Ohh!! Nice. I may even try to get these. They all look so good especially Soundwave.

I had a dream that I was at Target, bent down to look at some things on the bottom shelf in one of the toy aisles and, to my surprise, found a Soundwave hidden behind a bunch of things.
Really looking forward to these coming out. I want to buy them and put them on my desk at work.

The tf mighty muggs seem like they are the best out of all the series. Soundwave and Megs are really cool, but Bumblebee, well his smile freaks me out

Mighty Muggs are fantastic. They are for people who like them — they are not transformers, but in line with the underground Japanese/European designer vinyl toy explosion. They have as much to do with Urban graffiti and avant garde japanese design as toys. Hasbro is experimenting and experimenting with a unique line of toys — and kudos for them for trying something new…
I think it's cool that the Transformers license is getting some more love in this unique hasbro line. The fun of Vinyl toys is seeing how you can repaint (and sometimes add scuplt to) the same mold to get a totally different feel.
Mighty Mugs, themselves are a bit hit or miss. The best use very creative paint schemes to transform that basic round simple toy into different characters. Some (like the movie Iron Man from SDCC) are so beautiful that I dare not remove it from it's package. The Star wars line is mostly great. Some (like the Marvel comic line) are a bit bland and meh.
My thoughts on these 4:
Prime: Beautiful, frigging perfect. Must get! Love the gun!
Soundwave: Very nice. Must get… Love the gun!
Megatron: Nice, but they needed to rework the paint shapes on the head to aproximate Meg's unique angular head shape. Could have been done better, still getting.
Bumblebee: Why did they make his legs tiny? And I wish they lost the horns — you don't need them if you do a good enough job with paint illusion. The fun of mighty mugs is keeping the shape consistent and changing paint… Probably not get this.
That said, I like the Mighty muggs Galactus…
I hope they do classic combiners in this line (devastator, superion, bruticus) — even Metroplex would look SWEET!
I understand this aint for everybody, but I loves Mighty Muggs!

Erg. I'm probably going to be forced to pick up Soundwave, at least. FORCED, I tell you. Stupid Hasbro.
GAUGE
meh, pass.
these may be okay for the Urban street kids but not for the average Joe Schmoe Collector.
I've seen Tons of other Mighty Muggs flooding shelves like: Starwars, Indiana Jones and Marvel but they are still warming shelves in every single store I have seen them in. I'm thinking if they stuck them in say places like Hot Topic, Spencers, Sam Goodies, Tower Records, Suncoast or some Skater shops, maybe just maybe they would sell better.
(I may pick up Soundwave for a DJ Friend of mine, but I'm in no rush to find it though)

^Yeah these things are cutesey. But not $17 cutesey.
Bumblebee
PHEW! I thought Bumblebee would look all kinds of cute and awesome and then I'd have to buy 'im.
BUT, yeah. These'll be great for MM fans, but I'm glad these aren't attractive to me, Hasbro ALREADY has my wallet aching . They just look kinda bland- plus, at their price point, they're extremely unattractive. I'd totally pick them up if they were smaller and cheaper, though.

I think they transformers Mighty Muggs are for small kids because they have baby kind!
qwertyboy

That's a good thought… if that's indeed the case, I'd have preferred to see the figure itself represented as faithfully as possible, and the accessories done away with entirely if necessary.
I know these have quite a following… they don't do anything for me personally, though.
lieutenantjazz
They look alright. I'll probably just pick up Prime and Megatron. UNLESS THEY COME OUT WITH JAZZ!
Grimwing
Like I don't have enough trendy cute things hasbro convinced me to buy with the robot heroes and animated.
Enough!!! I won't buy it I tell you!!!
repair_bay
Probably that, and because he has shorter legs than the others. Dunno, though. What I do know however, is that they are cute and I want them.
mordecai6
about bumblebee I'm pretty sure this is just a repaint of the yoda mighty mugg. That might be why he got horns.
Foster
Cute enough to pick up off the shelf and look at, not fun enough to take to the register and buy.
Scantron
Interesting. I might pick up Megatron if I see these in person, but I need to save money for more important stuff right now and they aren't really my thing.
Maybe they had extra budget to mold those on, since Bumblebee doesn't have any accessories?
ams
So Bumblebee gets his set of "horns", but Prime and Soundwave get theirs drawn on? That seems unusual.
