    um but when my ROTF Leader OP talks and lights up at a $45 price point and the new AOE main line Leader toys do not but are still sold at $45, i feel a bit like im being cheated. They want us to pay for the new Leader toys that are not as screen accurate, made of lighter cheaper plastic and have enough kibble that could easily house the electronics to make them talk and light up. And you say its a waste of space? And if its that annoying, you know you can just take the batteries out right ;)

    Yeah, It's simplistic as hell, kibbletastic and has to cost less to make and if we are "Lucky" will be the same price as the previous leader class.

    It's not really lighter, cheaper plastic if it feels the same weight as Sentinel despite not having electronics or batteries.

    Could we maybe get some larger photos? Thanks for the info on this guy. He's not bad at all. I am hoping he sticks around on amazon and other stores for a while, because while I want him, I don't want to spend 60 on him.

    This toy already suffers from a backpack made of folded kibble, and people want to stick a soundbox in it so it has even LESS space to move parts?

    Also, I like the sound of lots of ratchets.

    I got this in the mail from Kapow Toys also! I agree with pretty much everything the original poster said.

    I think if you buy him expecting a leader class you'll be highly disappointed, I'd say he's more an evolution of the Prime weaponiser class, with a lot better detail, and nicer plastic.

    He's far from the disaster some were predicting, intact he's quite good. I can see kids loving this line if this is the direction they're going in.

    With better engineering such kibble can easily be the soundbox and batterybox without added penalty to the current backpack ,kibble size. But i think its the overzealous application of the chrome that caused them to cut corners elsewhere, resulting in what we see now.

    I , too love ratchet sounds . I guess we still clicked.

    I really like it. And I'm glad it's Leader (except for not scaling with any possible Grimlock).
    If a non-chrome one happens, I'll go for that, but I won't complain if superchrome is the only option.

    No it's not.

    It has nothing in common with it at all. Why would you think that?
