    Shiny Bumblebee? Hmm...

    Various Accessories

    Instead of showing 3rd party stuff, these pics show 1st party accessories instead. These are the ones Takara made separately from figures.

    Studio Series 54 Megatron holding the Gold Battle Axe. SS38 Optimus Prime holding the Quad Barrel Shotgun.
    Megatron can't actually hold the sword as there's no port to plug into. I used the side peg to help hold it in place via friction.

    Legendary Optimus Prime holding the Temenos Sword and Bronze Calibur Axe. Legendary Nemesis Prime holding the Gold Temenos Sword and Gold Vector Shield.
    The Legendary molds don't actually have side arm ports. Would've been nice if the elbow flathead pin hole was a true 5mm hole, but it's just slightly bigger than that. I wrapped a layer of thin hobby masking tape around the shield peg and used that to keep it in place in the elbow hole.

    It's not so much the red hands themselves but the fact that they're red on red panels. I generally hate when hands are molded into panels (like lockdown), too.
    Haha dude where have you been? Every single studio series figure (except the constructicons maybe?) has had that autobot symbol on the side. I think it's just for brand recognition although I personally think it's a weird move.

    As much as I love him, Ironhide is not worth the price he’s going for online. He’s amazing, but not $60+ amazing. Idk, guess it’s up to the person. But I’m glad I got him for roughly retail, and the DNA kit makes him perfect for me

    Imo, Mixmaster. While I understand it’s a triple changer and some compromises had to be made, it really isn’t as posable or dynamic as I wish it could’ve been; some extra hinges for the arm shields, better hand articulation and maybe the cannon for his turret mode would’ve improved the figure a lot for me.

    I really love the Devy head, so there’s that.

    I'd say Shockwave, but I don't actually own him, so maybe I can't judge. While his figure looks nice, he basically looks like a slightly up-scaled voyager with a throw away alt mode at a leader price. Now I know he never transformed in the movie (WTF Michelle Bay! That is heresy! He should have have come back after Dark of the Moon) but the alt mode just doesn't look good. I also could not care less about the little figures he comes with.

    When you compare this to the other leader class figures, specifically some of the bigger ones like Jetfire, Grimlock and Scavenger, he just looks underwhelming to me.

    Second I would say leader OP, which you are paying $20 for a hollow trailer and jet-pack and no paint weapons, which I would almost consider. But if you already had SS-32 OP it really wasn't worth it.

    Anyone who uses the Nitro Zeus mold it's terrible...and Ironhide (i don't own him but as Megatron118 said he's not worth 60$)

    He doesn’t look as interesting as the 2009 voyager, but like you said, the Devy head is pretty sweet so it’s alright in the end. And I hate to say it, but even though the colors on SS Mixmaster are drab, they’re more accurate than the 09 one.

    Shockwave is amazing for his paint alone, but I agree the tank is meh. That’s why I made mine non-transforming, since he didn’t transform anyway. But his paint is sooooo nice

    I thought people liked that mold though? Or are you the one person who said they didn’t like it? I don’t remember :lol  :p

    I would say scavenger. You can barely find him in stores. Even the collector store that I go to has him maybe overpriced but sold out.

    YES! Dude I’m struggling hard with that one. He’s only overpriced because he’s a keystone Devy component. Scalpers are capitalizing off of that and it’s frustrating
