    I hate to keep asking this question, but when is the next convention (that Hasbro is at) supposed to happen? I'm seriously dying to see that Mixmaster and soundwave!

    Stop doing this to me. I can't keep spending money.

    You know, it's sad, but we've had so many versions of the Leader Prime mold, I don't even remember which one this is.

    Sideswipe, hands down.

    Yeah, I feel the same. That was an awful decision on their part. If I could ever find both cheap, I'd kitbash them.

    Almost certainly FanExpo. Last year we got wave 5 deluxes, so we'll see.

    Barricade because if you get SS first you will be disappointed with Barry

    Sideswipe. Both figures are gorgeous hands down, but I think he looks better from all angles, is less fragile and is more complete overall with the option of guns (DOTM) and swords (ROTF) to choose from.

    Barricade has a hollow back, clear plastic on his arms with frequent reports of breakage, and only comes with an unpainted wheel of death and not even a Frenzy! He’s also great but more of an 8/10 VS the 9.5/10 of Sideswipe.

    That’s a great idea! I’d totally buy that.

    On a side note I wish Grimlock and Jetfire were Commanders. I don’t know if it’s just me but the fact they’re only a few centimetres taller than Megatron doesn’t feel right to me, considering the former was like 3 times the height of Optimus, not 3 centimetres taller! It’s gonna be a waste of money, but perhaps when Hasbro’s done doing the big stuff they could always upsize those molds to better fit their goal of scale accuracy.

    Sideswipe. Barricades a bit disappointing from what I’ve heard.
    I honestly don’t need another Optimus, I’ve already got SS-32. But for a split second I thought, “would it really kill me to own another Optimus?”

    Forgot if I've mentioned this but ROTF Thrust and HFTD Dirge are excellent movie Seekers, especially Dirge. I used to think the Harrier-inspired design looked weird with those huge ass intakes but it's much better looking in person. The transformation is great too.

    Loved the offscreen figures. Incinerator, Highbrow....umph. Greatness.

    Oh yea I don't like Final Battle Jazz and am planning to sell mine BUT I do like how tough it is and how big it was for the price. It was worth the MSRP back then and the light piped visor wins.

    Added pulley cables to Hightower. My original plans all fell through but this one is good for now until I order stuff I can't get locally.

    Yes, an SS Hotrod would be awesome!! I do still like my TLK Hotrod, but having something with more playability would be nice!!
    Definitely Sideswipe!!
    I can understand your point of view, and honestly, if was immature of me to go off in a tangent and failing to realize that not everybody works the way that I do. And for that, I apologize to you, as well as to @Shmoptimus Prime. I'll make sure to keep any criticism to myself!!
    I'm building up my collection of Primes/Primals, but I tend to skip on Primes are exactly the same, do I get where your coming from.

    Btw, how are you liking your SS38??

    The one with the darker red and blue color scheme and the mechtech shield. The most accurate one we had until the Asia Premium Series came out

    Midnight Strike Roadbuster is almost done. I'm still debating if I want to paint the kibble or not

    Wishful thinking here but I wonder if Hasbro would revisit characters like Breakaway. Would be cool if we have other 2nd tier characters like him. I really liked his design and personality. He'd make for a great Voyagers class toy

    Oh man, I was just about to make a post saying the same thing. I'd love if he got a SS Voyager that was tall and chunky, like Starscream. They're running out of Autobots from the Bayverse that can fill that size class (Knight Optimus, Hound, Sentinel Prime, Steelbane maybe)
