    You must live in some weird ghetto.. that's a muscle car. Not a pimpmobile or lowrider.

    Like the rest of you guys, I can't wait to get him. Heck, I might buy two and paint one like the General Lee.

    I've been skipping the main line lately to save money and avoid TFs marketed toward kids, but apparently this is a "get." If it's as good as Crosswise, then sure I'll get it.

    In fact, I saw it at a Wal-Mart in Salisbury this Tuesday, but didn't get it. Eh, it's the mainline. It'll be everywhere soon enough.

    This guy is definately money. I picked one up the other night and it looks super. Takara's QC strikes again as one of his headlights was missing right out of the package, though. I still think he's awesome and I'm glad I got him.

    Um, where does it say Takara on the packaging to indicate this would be a Takara QC issue? :peoples:

    I've been really looking forward to Downshift. Seems like the non-show toys are some of the best, especially if Armourhide is anything to go by.

    Downshift shall be placed on my "Little Plastic Gods" shelf, right in between Armorhide and Sideways. In fact, I may have to get two so I can display the alt mode alongside the robot. He's just too seventies muscle to NOT want to see his alt mode at all times.

    Someone please explain why this makes me laugh. Because I shouldn't be having to do it myself.


    Anyway. Didn't know Cyb Downshift had knee articulation. Now its a must-get.

    Hmmm. Buy it as soon as I see one, or wait to see if Hasbro puts out a repaint that looks better? Oddly enough the green doesn't look that bad, and it is a color that fits that style car.

    One of the coolest toys in Cybertron. I was all kinds of shocked when I found mine. Specially the Wheeljack face. Can't wait for the inevitable Wheeljack colored repaint ;)
