    Here's a handy template I like to use if there is something I dislike about a toy:

    "I dislike the way that they did (fill in with complaint), and I don't think that I'll spend money on it; that money can be used for something I will enjoy. Hasbro could potentially fix this issue by (insert feedback). Until Hasbro fixes this issue, I don't believe I will be purchasing this item. However, I acknowledge that some people might like this item; that is fine, and it is not worth my time trying to change them to my point of view."

    I really try to follow this line of thinking; if I can't think of a somewhat intelligent, clear way of saying this, I stay out of the conversation.

    Most likely the usual "i don't like this, therefore it's time to personally attack everyone who likes it" and vice-versa

    I guess this is cool. I hope the chest locks down, unlike Crankcase.

    I got Crankcase today, he's pretty fun and a neat little Deluxe. However, his legs are fairly loose and at least one of his tabs doesn't like to sit to very flush. Makes me a bit apprehensive about mold degradation for this Medix.

    Wow. I really love the Skids mold. I think it has a lot of personality to it. I have a few issues with things not pegging together on Crankcase, but nothing Future didn’t fix.

    I really hope we get a Flatline from this. A decepticon medic would be a nice addition to the collection.

    Shouldn't Flatline be a Trailbreaker retool since that's who his IDW design was based on? Or a Bulkhead retool if you prefer the Prime/Universe design instead of the RotF/IDW one.

    None of the above? A while back, some suggested Hasbro make the IDW Prowl with an Earth suv alt mode. I think that'd work quite well for a Flatline, at least it's closer to a hearse than a compact suv (Skids) or large military truck (Bulkhead).

    "Flatline" is such a great name for a Decepticon ambulance.

    For a hearse I still really like "Dead End."

    Ooooh finally some Medix love. Hope we get all the Rescue Bots in Legacy at some point. It was such a good show.

    It’s going to take some time unfortunately to pull his barcode to confirm his retailer. I’ll keep you guys posted. Hopefully I find something soon.

    I have to admit, I'm rather amused by this. When I was directed to make Ratchet(s) for the Botcon class, Medix was just an excuse to use the First Aid head as "something." I had the labels designed to be the bright neon green of the RB toy, but they turned out that "kinda puke-green", and due to money already spent and time (mostly time), I just went with it. Nice to see the homage carried through to this degree.
    Oh, and if anyone from Hasbro is reading this, I'd be down for a new version of Quickslinger...not Slingshot renamed, but a proper lavender fembot one. :)  Gotta keep that trademark.
