    Mine just arrived 30 minutes ago. It has nice metallic blue paint but the spraying is splotchy and dry-sprayed in some spots. There's also multiple blemishes - nicks in the paint, scuffs, sprue marks, that make this feel like a rushed release. Maybe I just got a lemon. Also the curve where the right side of the "nose" of the face plate meets the visor is choppy/cut rough/maybe dented. I'm debating on contacting Gamestop for a replacement or return.

    On the plus side, the voice sounds authentic and phrases are:

    "Megatron, what are your orders."
    "My sensors indicate we are no longer alone."
    "Autobots detected."
    "All talk, no shock."
    "As you command, Megatron."

    However "Soundwave superior" seems like the most obvious omission... and maybe some cassette deployment commands instead of two Megatron quotes.

    Yikes. I’d be pretty unhappy with that poor quality. I would certainly suggest returning or exchanging.

    It’s just me but I think the original toy head looks better than his cartoon head.

    Looks completely awesome, but this is not 1:1 scale! If it was it would be like the size of a dumpster.

    Well, damn. I'm assuming that if we hadn't pre-ordered ages ago, we're SoL now huh? Have to wait and watch GameStop's site I guess.

    This is the best of all the helmets. Soundwave's voice is the best voice out of the whole series to copy in a helmet. This thing rules.

    No "eject" lines, either? What a joke
