    Honestly, all I really want is everything that's in front of Grimlock in that last pic of the first post. Any chance we could ask TakaraTomy to sell that as an upgrade kit?

    My guess the chances are slim to none, with the latter being more likely. I think the best we can hope for is for some 3rd party like Matrix Workshop to make similar ones.

    Was on the fence initially, but I'm convinced enough to get this and replace my PotP set. The brighter gold, unified color scheme, and accessories are nice, and show how small details here and there can go great ways to make it stand apart from the original (ie. Hasbro vs Unite Warriors Superion). Sure, the SS dinobots are eventually coming, but I don't see it any differently than having recurring characters in multiple lines. It's nice to have options these days.

    Sort of. I like the official design a lot more for those arm cannons. Perfect Effect's combiner accessories have always been a little over the top for my liking.

    I've seen some fan configurations that make is torso look a little nicer and bulkier, but yeah, the stock combined mode isn't that good looking, especially without add-ons.

    Love the subplot of the Battlemasters (lead by Rung) leading an uprising.

    ...whoa, this specific comic is kind of great!

    Back when the Battlemaster road guys were first revealed, I thought it would be neat to see a story about what it's like to live your entire life as a stretch of roadway, being driven over by others... and it turns out it sucks!

    And Rung is leading the rebellion!

    I'm really feeling this one - even good ol' Spike has fallen prey to treating these new Transformers as a disposable slave class, and there's probably a lesson to be learned there.

    Yep. Another reason why(And I know I've said this a million times, but) I want Studio TRIGGER to make a Transformers anime. They're serious when they need to be, silly when they need to be, the animation complements both, and they're really good at mixing seriousness and humor.
