    I. Adore. This. Mold.
    Seriously, this little guy is a blast! Although I feel it warranted a Voyager with how chunky it is, the figure is absolutely loaded with character and the articulation is excellent. Those cankle rockers really add a lot to the overall menace the figure can pull off.

    I am officially buying every one I see at retail.

    I don’t know, I think having the option of Cybertronian AND/or earth modes is pretty cool. I mean you don’t have to buy them all if you don’t want to.

    Heheh
    I usually don't buy multiples at retail until the figures have been around for a while. I'd rather others have a chance to get them before I start getting more.
    Online is another story. If they're available to order from somewhere, then I'll do it without remorse.

    just my 2 cents: it’s ok that you’re frustrated and unhappy with what Hasbro is doing. What’s not ok is for someone like TonTon who has a large platform, where most likely kids maybe watching, to go off on a toy in a profanity laden tirade. I’m not a prude and know kids & teens hear that kind of thing all over the place but that’s all the more reason not to do it and set an example. It’s ok not to like something but let’s use our big boy words to make a reasonable argument of why something is bad instead of ranting like a lunatic. Considering he already had Ironhide and not to mention the - let’s just say questionable - manner in how he acquires his figures I’m not sure what major difference he was expecting. While it behooves Hasbro to make a good product at the end of the day they are a business who only cares about making money and not our friend. Their goal is to sell as many versions of figures as they can so making the ‘perfect’ version so you only buy 1 copy isn’t part of their business plan. While respectfully voicing your displeasure can help, not buying it and affecting their bottom line is the only way they’ll learn to do better.

    Can we please drop the discussions on reviewers and get back to some good old appreciation?

    Here, have some Alicons!

    I think it depend on if you want the extras.
    Also, if you prefer the repaints/remolds over the stock figures.

    In great anticipation to finally start seeing some Wave 2 Deluxes, I’ve decided to go back and revisit the Wave 1 bots. I do love this lot, but it’s high time we start seeing some fresh Energon around here.
