    I feel sorry for cliffjumper. He started out as a Porsche. Now's he relegated to being a repaint of the annoying yellow guy.

    Yeah- the roof-chest isn't doing it for me. Neither are the stubby limbs. I was hoping on a much more impressive successor to Alternity Ops and Megs.

    It's probably nitpicking, but Bumblebee's horns are a bit too sharp for my tastes. I like the face sculpt but I'm not crazy about the helmet.

    Found a photo here (courtesy of tf-bbs.com) that gives a great indication of the size of these fellas. Can't wait for mine to arrive!

    Just got both of these. They are truly amazing. Transformation is complicated, and very satisfying. The mold detail and articulation are nuts. They are solid and stable. Their metalic weight distribution is nice, not top heavy.

    The "skirt" at the waist can come forward and allow the hip joints to move to an 70% angle with full vertical. Really, these two have super nice articulation, and their feet are so super poseable. Fist can reach 1/4 inch past the big bulky chests.

    Love the chests.

    Time to put Henkei "Kibblebee" away to storage.

    I know I am not in the majority, but these are my favorite Alternity molds thus far. Very fresh and imaginative, and fun as hell to pose - in both modes !

    Bumblebee can loan Alternity Prime one of his guns, because Cliffjumper sure as hell isn't letting his pistols go.

    Yes, Alternity Prime can hold their handguns.

    Tough call actually. Cliff is great, but so hard to see in a darker room. Would definately win if he were the original mock up red. But it's so nice to see a proper cliffjumper.

    now Chuck, you've almost ALWAYS been one of my favorite posters on here, and generally a voice of reason amongst a see of white noise, but calling one of the tightest and best integrated deluxes EVER "Kibblebee" ~ the only thing i consider even remotely kibblish are the doors on his arms ~ compared to these guys that, to me, look essentially like robotic armatures with various badly broken up car bits bolted on at random seems a tad hyperbolic.

    I mean, opinions are opinions, and you have more than every right to yours, and i don't knock you for LIKING the Alternity mold more, but you REALLY consider these guys less kibbly than the Henkei/Classics mold? The knees alone would make it a loss for me, without even mentioning the car-body muumuu.

    I always thought Classics 'bee seemed like a mini-Binaltech with his seat Thighs and open passenger compartment.
