    Honestly, aside from a few peeves (his weirdly pronounced window boobs and legs for days) he fixes everything I disliked about Siege Prime, such as the arm kibbles and backpack toast, but at the cost of having slightly less invested transformations on the legs (they pretty much just fold up the toes and snap together).

    How hard do you guys think it's going to be to find thrust in stores?

    Awesome I’ll check thanks for the heads up


    Not hard if you live in an area that actually gets stock, safest bet would be preorder if they restock it imo


    Lol what?

    Astrotrain as the Justin Hammer of the Decepticon set.

    “So, I’ll tell you what I can do for you. I’m gonna update your relay speed and juice up your energon capacity. But you’re not interested in that. You wanna know about firepower. Well, you came to the right place.”
    5434D59C-98A8-416E-905B-734DC3973D24.jpeg
    “Dare to be stupid with 2 JF-50 Ionic Displacer Blasters. Scramble some eggs as well as some circuits.”
    634977BE-7675-447E-AF19-D8D7EDAC77C3.jpeg
    “Too downtown Kaon for you? Ok. Try blastin’ ‘em into orbit with the JF-30 Astro Blaster. You can send ‘em to the moon with this baby.”
    9796DE17-DA0C-49F2-BE51-3CD545116C38.jpeg
    “No, no. I can tell this isn’t disco enough for ya. How about my W-15 Destabilizer Cannon? The Seekers back home say it makes the best Autobot gazpacho. And don’t let anybody fool ya,....size does matter.”
    C8F88682-0347-447E-9AA5-29514F1BDF16.jpeg
    “Still not ‘Megatron’ enough for ya? Ok. Try pairing it with my masterpiece of mayhem, the W-40 Turbo-Core Derailer missile pod. This is my Cybertronian opus, my Energon delight, my electrum-laced Unicron killer. It will turn any Autobot into a cinder, cause a star to go supernova, and reduce Starscream to a pile of ashes just from the sight of it. It’ll make all 5 faces of the Quintessons cry while making you Energon slurries and then serving them to you. I like to call it ‘Bad Comedy.’”
    E7781801-CE02-4A8D-99A8-6E9E34CC9C8E.jpeg
    “Still nothin’? You’re like Mirage when he turns invisible, I can’t get a read on you. Wow, you are a hard sell. That was my best pitch. How about I throw in a bonus? Let me demonstrate.”
    AD6BA34B-2CB4-45C1-AF3C-D470913DA27F.jpeg
    “The weapons can be combined and mounted on your alt form for easy storage and transport. The weapons case can be configured to act as a trailer or more storage also. I’ll throw one in with each purchase of 1,000 or more units.”
    E59CC643-9BB1-4191-BABA-B569F916C9C5.jpeg
    “And for some added fun, the case can turn into a launchpad, battle platform, dance floor, what have you.”
    6514E793-3578-40B3-913E-05785ABED7DA.jpeg
    “Tell ya what. I gotta make a run to the other side of the galaxy for another deal. Why don’t you just try it out for the weekend and I’ll slingshot around on my way back? Try not to overthrow Megatron or blow off Unicron’s head til then, but maybe try some target practice on the Autobots. Primus knows you need it. Enjoy yourselves!”

    “To Peace! Or Decepticon victory, whichever comes first.”

    Ah thanks! I was never able to find it when I searched the site. Too bad it gives me an error code when I try to set up a email alert for it being in stock BECAUSE WAL MART FUCKING SUCKS DONKEY BALLS!!!

    Despite Wal-Mart preorder delays, I'm still excited for Elita-1 to arrive. For now, though, Optimus is gonna get some parenting done.

    because scalpers and exclusives are making it difficult for people to appreciate the line as much as they’d like?

    Still don’t get why they changed the colours. But Barricade looks fantastic!

    It's still an off topic discussion that can be better had in other threads

    Target exclusives are usually pretty plentiful after awhile before they dry up (notable exception being G.I. Joe Cobra Island wave 1)
