    For me, CW worked best when it stuck to the original 'special teams'. I found myself wincing when I saw the 84/85 carbots getting, in my opinion, such inappropriate updates. And while I admired the design team stretching the budget to make this line work on the budget they had, I was frequently dissatisfied with some of the shared molds (Swindle just does not feel at all like Swindle).

    I loved TR. Blaster and Soundwave were amazing toys so I could forgive them being so crazily oversized. My only complaints about TR were the the crappy Legends class cassettes/tablets (apart from Rewind and Rumble, who I loved) and the fact we'd didn't get a proper sixth wave and missed out on a bunch of character that would have been natural fits for the line (Leader class Scorponok, Voyager class Apeface and Snapdragon, Deluxe Autobot Targetmasters).

    PotP has been a weird little line. it feels like it's mission statement was 'get the Dinobots, Predacons, and Terrorocons out, then fill out the rest of the line with whatever'. As much as I love having Generations updates of the pair of them, I think I'd have happily sacrificed Darkwing and Dreadwind for another two members of Elita-1's team, just to actually get a full 'special team'.

    I like a TR Blaster as a standalone toy, because he looks great. But I want to find him somewhere cheap, maybe secondhand.

    And full blown agreed on Scorponok, the Horrorcons and Autobot Targetmasters. They were sorely missed and I hope maybe we will see them in WFC.

    CW did miss the ball a couple of times.
    The Rook mold would have been a far better fit for Brawl than Swindle, and that horrible Brawl mold with it's pudgy arms should never have seen the light of day.

    I was dissapointed in the CW Autobot cars at first, but in spite of them being far from accurate in many cases I eventually bought them because they fit in better with the rest of my chug in terms of size than the Universe molds (which I also found very flawed molds for the most part, I think the CW molds are better designed than Universe Sunstreaker, Cyclonus and Ironhide for example) I hoped we'd get the rest of them in potp, but apart from Jazz this line has been a disappointment in that respect as well.

    Couple of BFFs on my evening shift. I'm glad that Roberts went with 'best friends' rather than 'romantic partners' with these two. Both toys have thierflaws, with Skids wonly balance and Nautica being far too pink and a headsculpt that was pretty wide of the character model. A pity as they're two of my favourite from the MTMTE comics.

    Man, that sucks, assuming it came packaged like garbage? I picked up a Hasbro Misfire during the flash sale and it arrived the other day in an effing bubble mailer. Was prepared for the bubble to be smashed when I opened it but somehow it was barely creased at the edges (better than typical shelfwear on these figs). Definitely lucked out; I've had packages come in from Japan with puncture damage right on top of 'Fragile' stickers.

    (Yes, it's a bit of a cheat as he really falls across a couple of lines and has reprolabels & paint but...)

    Lads, we're in a spot of bother! Turns out someone's still got his Matrix Affinity!!!

    Yup, Primemasters fit in the cockpit, facedown kneeling makes the canopy closeable an' all! The Seeker Enigma Shemping for a Matrix propped it open a bit where it is in the snap but after taking the picture I found out sliding it up to about the midpoint of the cockpit well made it fully closeable!
    We're really for it now, fellas!

    Sadly no. I'm sure he'd look pretty good on it as well.
