    Between SDCC and Botcon both having subpar exclusives, I have more money to spend filling in holes in my G1 collection. Thanks to all involved.

    Mighty fail! I hate those thing, so I can pass it up with joy, more money to finish my Universe :) 

    Was there any pics of Soundwave though? I might be interested if it's the normal door one.

    Well, its something. I'll get it just for Mugg completeness, but I really wish we could've gotten Animated Nemesis Prime or something.

    Wow, neither of these look interesting. I still don't even know what a Mighty Mug is, what does it do?

    Sorry for going slightly off topic here, but they cancelled the Universe Robot Heroes? As in cancelled the Deszaras and Victory Saber ones? *the horror*

    Other than that, don't know what to think. These little MM TFs are sort of cute but I’m not sure quite what I think since to me it's neither "yay!" or "nay!"

    you've got your wires crossed the Sound blaster chest holds 2 cassettes the regular one holds a single cassette. and it is in every way the same toy as the TRU SW

    but I agree about Rumble and Frenzy but its clear the cassettes are just the Encore guys packed in with SW

    Eh?

    I said the SDCC Soundwave is a remolded Soundblaster. Soundblaster does in indeed hold two tapes as does the TRU re-issue however, the SDCC Soundwave is remolded from Soundblaster and only holds one tape.

    So I'm not sure what wires you think I have crossed.

    Wow. Really? I can't say I'm overly impressed by this version of Optimus. I already have the regular retail version, and aside from this one having a metallic finish and being in the foil collectors box, I don't really see a reason to pick him up. It's strange to see Hasbro playing it safe with this years offerings. Its kind of like they're showing up to the party with favors that most of the party goers already have.
