    Ironically enough finding Bumblebee in the WFC mold seems to be impossible where I see nothing but Cliffjumpers.

    Seriously I actually want Bumblebee for that mold and do not see him anywhere. Him, Sunstreaker, and Trailerbreaker are tough to find.

    They're tough to find because they're not actually out yet unless you live in Asia

    Yeah, I'm gonna be honest here. Cliffjumper is proving plenty capable of being a Shelfwarmer in a line without Bumblebee. And my area his Prime toy didn't move great either.

    And if anyone should be complaining it should be Bumblejumper. Finally get the perfect mold for him as a repaint and they blow it on Hubcap and BugBite.

    Even Bumblebee because I swear I have seen most of the WFC Wall-Mart figures besides him

    Wow, these finally appeared in my area (disregard Springer.)

    My thoughts on these three:
    • Smokescreen's mostly fine, very smooth and clean, but he has his issues: I got the same QC error where the roof doesn't tab in in vehicle mode, and the arms like to tab out of their slots. I think is is what people mean when they talk about SS Blitzwing's backpack disconnecting (which I never had an issue with... I won the QC lottery on that one.)
    • Arcee, I can definitely see why people have her complaints about her. The backpack's fine for me... it's mostly just a bunch of things: the tabbing system seems finicky and flimsy, and the movement you need to do for the side of the "hovercraft" mode of her backpack feels like it's going to break the figure (it's on pins). Figure's extra-poseable and manages her weight well... and hey, the color scheme's not terrible and helps her stand out on my shelf. Likely my least favorite ER figure, but hey, this line's been full of hits, I don't care, and even then, she's more "mediocre" than "bad".
    • Allicon feels like he's the sleeper hit here: he doesn't do anything particularly well, but he's fun as hell to fiddle with. Transformation's solid, shape of the figure flows pretty well, and it feels like both modes work really well (minus the gator arms... but that's a small nitpick). Like the only real issues I have are relatively minor. Plus, he's got 5mm ports in just the right spots. That's a bonus for silly little things you want to do with him (I just added 2 Slitherfangs as arm guards, and 1 as back armor).

    They did Needlenose dirty— he’s practically done, but after losing two fan votes he’s in the can and his obscurity means even less of a chance to revive it, unless they change their minds

    I know, voted for him twice (although mostly to get Tracks the first time).

    The votes had a serious amount of cheating going on, and the first one Needlenose was in isn't a good comparator because they were all paired up with another character.

    But you are right about his chances- only his redeco options gets him out now- whoever they might be.
