    My Thoughts

    A suitcase for Brainstorm

    For leader Megatron: New Arm Cannon, Articulated hands, Possibly a new head and maybe a gun to replicate his back cannon.
    Definately a new Cannon,many fans will want one.

    For Voyager Prime: A cloth to cover how hideous it is

    Real legs for Megs or half of that voyager Prime cloth to cover them.

    They still look better than MP Megatron's skinny legs and I'm thinking paint can fix some of the issues.

    New cannon, hands, energon mace for g1 Megatron. Like everything else...

    Voyager prime just needs a better head sculpt, and I'd be happy with it for what it is... A large, cheap Optimus. Looks better than any of the movie toys.

    Legends bombshell is perfect, no complaints with arcee... Most of the other stuff I'll pass on.

    Basically this. From what I see nothing Hasbro has shown us so far is useful in any way to my collection. I may get some of them cheap for my collection, but there was nothing superior from Hasbro I can't get from non-Hasbro sources so far. I'll wait to see this Superion toy, but honestly, if it's the quality of FOC Bruticus, I'm not excited.

    Brainstorm is the only thing hasbro has shown that is decent. Everything else needed 3 or 4 design revisions or for said designer to be smacked with a newspaper for being bad.

    Some day, somehow they're gonna make it alright but not right now.

    They know we're wondering when, Hasbro or 3p are the only ones who know that :D

    It's a damn shame that Hasbro felt the need to make Generations voyager Prime a Rescue Bots abomination. They should have put it in the Rescue Bots line. Why is your most popular character so fucking hard to get right Hasbro? Usually I ride fans for being too critical, but in this point I can't fault them for dumping on this.

    That being said, My Arcee needs are met with this new one shown today.

    Megatron does NOT look like a simple figure. He's not movie figure craziness but he seems slightly under say Generations Blitzwing. He's not simple.
