    Damn, wasn't what I was hoping to hear. Used to be enamored with Mega Construx because of the articulation but they looked too wide for me even at the right height and they never quite made the right pieces for a good variety of civilians despite sorta teasing it at a convention. Likewise Jada looks like it really only has wrestlers, Joes and superheroes and the toys are 1.65" which is somewhere near 1:43, a little small. Thanks for the pointers anyways.

    Really would like to see something like the Charlie who came with one of the Bumblebee movie sets. Enamored with that thing. Pretty ironic that Jada has Transformers and released minifigures but didn't do minifigures of the guys who're actually small.

    Yeeeep! I’ve seen a cassette tape fist fight a Jeep, and loved it! I’ve seen a combiner with a Jeep for a leg and THE SPACE SHUTTLE for an arm, and loved it!

    I have a few 1:43.5 scale humans designed for O-scale model railway layouts. They look alright with robot-mode CHUG (and as variable as you would expect with altmode - but reasonably good with carbots).

    I would love it if legacy year 2 or 3 created a toy for 2015 RID cartoon Steeljaw.. A Seven inch Voyager class toy would be epic awesome. Please just base the update toy off the Animation not older update toys.

    Disliked liked all the toys as they didn't look as good as the cartoon model for RID Steeljaw.

    I want the toy to look as epic as this. And year with that beast toy in robot mode.

    Here are some pics on how I want the toy to look.

    Just a heads up for any Australians out there, Legacy wave 1 has just hit Target. Found all four deluxes and Bulkhead at the Target in the Myer Center in Brisbane. Deluxes are $35 each, couldn't check Bulkhead as the price scanner wasn't turned on and there was no signage.

    I picked up Skids and Dragstrip, as I already got Arcee from Amazon. Decided against Bulkhead (for now), and I'm just not interested in Kickback, as I prefer the Legends-class Insecticons.

    No sign of Optimus, but it could be someone already nabbed him.

    Weird question but does anyone know if Blaster's head just pops off? Like on a ball-joint or whatever.

    I much prefer the smirk face, if I found one I'd swap the head out with my regular Blaster.

    Honestly, in addition to Strongarm, I would love to have CHUG versions of ALL of the RID15 Decepticons. They just had awesome designs and limited Warrior toys (if they were lucky to have toys at all).

    Damnit, how is Legacy Black Zarak suffering from GPS??? I thought it wouldn't do that, but no, the chest cavity cover is already cracked.

    LOL, I was asking that for at least two weeks! With no response

    It's a balljoint, you can see it under his chin if you open the (back hatch that his head goes into) and tilt the head back

    Takes a bit of (metaphorical) elbow grease, but I was able to pop the head off by prying it to the side - takes some doin' but it's possible

    The male Kickback who is smaller than the female approaches with caution, he does not want to be eating before he has a chance to mate…

    He will slowly dance around the female lifting a leg every so often, trying to entice her.

    Will he be successful???? or will he be another lunch for the female???? only time will tell…

    The RID15 Decepitcons had some cool designs. Some of them were pretty fun too. I really like the TF designs from that show in general, and I think it's a shame they didn't get better figures.

    Cyberverse was another show that didn't get the figures it deserved, but at least they made deluxes for some of the characters with that one.

    Are you sure it's that? Could be an assembly error.

    He does not have GPS. Most the gold on him is black plastic painted and if anything it’s just normal standard gold plastic. GPS plastic has the swirls and is very brittle. BZ does not have that. If he did it would be all over the TF news
