    Exactly. Literally the only thing he had going for him was the Italian accent. He has zero character beyond that, and could have just been Sideswipe. He even disappears for the big mexican standoff scene, and isn't around to battle sentinel either. Only Jolt is more pointless :lol  That being said I'll still totally buy the figures of Dino and Jolt when they come out so well done Hasbro, you've got my money anyways.

    Jolt did something, he combined Jetfire's parts with Optimus. He was Ratchet's walking defibrillator.

    Sadly, that's 70% of movie Transformers.

    Let's face it, we're not buying SS because of anything like personality, we buy them because they look cool. (and well nostalgia, at least in my case!)
    And now that we got the toys we can just make up our own stories.

    I give them my own personalities that go beyond the movie. Like how Drift and Crosshairs don't like Bumblebee's leadership. Amped up to 11 in my headcanon lol

    Does anyone have photos of that old DOTM Optimus Prime rifle kit that's on a spruce?

    Drift and Crosshairs open displeasure of Bumblebee makes things more interesting, I think Hound was the only one who likes Bumblebee between the AOE bots before Optimus joined.

    Does that legends class Megatron have head articulation? I can’t think of another legends figure that does.

    I can't get enough of this Bumblebee kit. I hope they're all this solid.

    Scrapmetal has disguised himself as a local's excavator while Skystalker masquerades as a federal drone doing flight tests. They are futilely searching mines for Energon sources. Scrapmetal finds Skystalker creepy and ugly but he's one to talk.

    How does Trumpeter Bumblebee compare to the Studio Series Bumblebees?
    Can you rank the Studio Series Constructicons from your favorite to least favorite please? I'm trying to figure whick one to get next? Maybe Skipjack or Scrapper?
    I already have Mixmaster, who has quite the fun design. 16054880087841699184847.jpg
