    The more I see these guys, the less I like them. These are now a easy pass for me.

    For a scout class, Smolder looks awesome. I love the creative "Decepticon symbol on fire" for the alt. mode, it's those unique touches that make a TF seem a little more unique than generic, although Smolder is still pretty damn generic!:lol 

    This shot of the drones, though, they are disapointing again, but I can probably live with them since I want Bombshock mainly.

    Without Smolder's Mini-Con chest armor, his combined mode looks pretty weak. Other than that, I don't really have any complaints.

    These look like they're meant to be what they are--"toys." They look like they'd be fun to play with, and I'd probably be all over them if I was a kid, but they just don't look that cool to me. The characters are a bore too.

    I agree...the limbs NOT having robot modes kills the entire combiner...for some reason I'm just now noticing this...I was planning on getting "Bruticus" for my legends shelf but now it's a "dunno" situation...

    I'm still happy with these and want the whole set (maybe they'll do repaints later as well?)

    Digging the Targetmaster-esque minicon axe. I might get that guy just for that.

    Honestly, I wish they'd done a true 'Targetmasters' or awesome, straight-up scout line to compliment 'Classics'. Not digging the drone limbs. Also, kind of struggling with the translucent partners, but they make since as axes and weapons... I guess.

    These are crap. When the fandom complained about Supreme class Devestator not having robot modes for each appendage, did Hasbro say "hey...look they hate it...we should make more."? WTF?

    I'll be getting Huffer for my classics shelf, but the rest of these can shelf-warm for eternity.
