    Reprolabels are going to have a field day with Wheeljack.

    Is anyone else getting the irony of a combiner called Skyreign composed of mainly ground based vehicles?

    Pointless remolds are pointless anyway. I'll see if Takara does an actual Computron and I'll get Sky Lynx but I was never going to get these four. I've come a long way since my Geewunner days but I just can't get into the idea of these regular Autobots being combiner limbs. More power to the people who like them.

    I'll trade you a new CW Wheeljack (when it comes out) for your MP Wheeljack.

    How does this guy have them in hand? They aren't even out yet. My only hope is that these aren't the official production versions, otherwise I'm buying another sunstreaker to parts swap with wheeljack.

    I paint my TFs all the time, so I have no problem with wheeljack. He turns into the right kind of car and that's good enough for me. He might even be the only one I want.

    They're pre-production versions. All the images of Brawl and this stuff were all pre-production figures.

    Smokescreen looks more like Gears in that pic.

    i really wasn't into this wave even back when they were just renders and.....i'm still not sold on anyone here but hound and sky lynx

    i doubt hasbro would have done two decepticon waves back to back but i'd have liked a wave of random cons for galvatronus instead of this. i already have a much better trailbreaker and wheeljack. smokescreen is way too blue. this is just an ugly looking wave...

    Oh so I can't have my own opinion? Look I never got a chance to get the original Classics Smokescreen & Hound and instead of paying more than 18 dollars for one on Ebay I find these a suitable substitute. What if I find CW tolerable? Look I'm not going to stop people from bashing these but those that do either have the original version of them or hate CW in general but I never got the original Ironhide or Hound and I like Ironhide as a Pickup over a Van because I grew up on the movies! So how about you stop bashing on someone who has a difference of opinion and tolerance for this line!

    I like the line but not the quality. The continued erosion of quality shouldn't be silenced when it is true, and it's sometimes so obvious/bad that it is hard not to observe/comment on it.

    I love the line but then again when people say quality, I really could never tell the difference in quality between figures to me they are just fun, tiny, & easy to transform enjoyable figures.

    See, there is the real opinion again. May not be better, but cheaper and easier to obtain. Multiple times after touting how great and how much better these new ones are you have come in with the price thing in a follow up when someone questions your sanity. There is a big difference between better and easier to obtain, or cheaper on the wallet but good enough. That is much different than your original statements in every single thread on these rando-bots which is fine, just state it "for the price, they work". You wouldn't bring up price compared to the original homages in the first line to every followup if that wasn't a primary reason behind them being "better".
