    But he was only the 44th figure in the line. SS has upwards of 70 already. I think they'd do another Optimus if they wanted to. Plus we need another Knight Prime.

    People always point to the gold teeth. Do only black people have gold teeth? Isn't that a stereotype? It seems like the ones who complain that the twins are racist are actually the ones being racist because they are stereotyping. FYI, they were voiced by a black guy and a white guy.

    Oops, I started one page back. I didn't mean to repeat already said arguments, and I didn't realize everyone had moved on. Ignore me! Back to talking about toys!

    Starscream and Crowbar were awesome, man. In Starscream, we finally got a Voyager of his MV1 toy that wasn't a Takara import for the first time since the first film came out. In Crowbar was the first proper Deluxe of him after he and Hatchet were snubbed for DOTM.

    Ratchet has good engineering but his overall execution is too half-baked for me to like him, if I have to be honest. He could be better.

    Oh no shit!! That's wussup!! But I feel you on the not speaking Spanish thing bcs of your parents.

    I have unfortunately also failed my son in that regard. While I'm fluent in Spanish, my wife is American, so I don't ever speak Spanish at home.

    Oh crap I never answered my own question did I? For the most part I feel like wave 1 of SS was good but had a few problems SS05 Optimus is overall the worst one in my opinion while his case mate Starscream is good though I prefer the tattooed version . Stinger doesn’t get enough love and is one of my favorite SS figures imo Ratchet is good but I can see how the backpack is a turn off for a lot of people. SS01 Bumblebee is held back by the lack of a pin holding his assembly together but Clunker Bumblebee fixes the problem making this honestly the best 76 Camaro figure leagues above the original 2007 one. And Crowbar is not terrible but not great either. Both leader Grimlock and Blackout are perfect I bought both instantly back in 2018 when they came out.

    Wave 1 was great, I think its a strong opening wave. MV1 Starscream is gorgeous, while many dislike SS05 OP I actually like him.
    The deluxe line up, Ratchet was a bit weak but still a solid toy. Bee, if you get one that holds together i find he's alright. Crowbar and Stinger are the first time we got accurate figures of those two.
    Blackout and Grimlock were really strong openers for the SS leader class. Blackout's transformation is intricate, while Grimlock has that fantastic paint job.

    So was I! While some local stores here carried MPM there was a recent massive discount lately that caused those MPM Megs that were warming the shelves to suddenly dissappear. I'm surprised this particular TRU I went to still had 3 Barricades.

    Yo @Shmoptimus Prime and @Lukelbs, UT is putting out a damaged version of Challenger. 50cadecdfc.jpg

    [Pre-Order] Unique Toys R-02D Challenger Optimus Prime Battle Damage Version

    I've been checking all the Ross' around me for the MPM Megs and Ironhide, and have found nothing so far. So I'm really glad that you were able to find an MPM Barricade Tuesday cheap at TRU!! I don't think that he gets enough credit for the great toy he is!!

    First we would need another Knight Movie. Right now only one Knight Prime really exists. Unless you want a Cybertronian Knight Prime.

    How much is he going for on eBay nowadays? When I put my LT02 and my Challenger up for bidding they only sold for $120...as a set. I only got one bid. So maybe you can find a decent priced one on eBay?

    So you got MPM Ratchet and immediately gave him to Peru Kill? :p 

    Look forward to seeing the end result; they always look so sleek once you give them the proper colours!

    I call this "WAR HORNET"

    Yeah man it's common unfortunately. My dad is American but he was fluent in Spanish so no excuse there haha! My Japanese is way better than my spanish for some reason.
    Yo thanks for the pic! I knew about this but only one photo has been released so far and it wasn't this one. I'm on the fence about it since it doesn't look that different but also I am a Challenger FIEND (as you know) and I would like to have a backup copy so I can try some wild mods on my base version.
    Sorry I think you're confusing AOE/TLK Prime (which I call knight prime) with Knightverse Prime (which most people call BB Optimus or Bee Movie Optimus). Unless I'm the one who's confused?
    Damn dude, you should have gotten $120 for EACH of them.
