    Transformers Hero Mashers

    I was surprised there is no thread on these awesome Transformers toys. If there is one, the search failed to find it, so please redirect me. Show us what you've made. I only have one so far, so I have made IT, nothing mashed up yet...although mixing these with MARVEL Mashers will happen soon.
    This is the FIRST of them that I have, Drift, but I plan to get more:

    I think these things could've had potential but the aesthetic just doesn't agree with me. I think they look silly.

    I really want the Dinobot figures, especially Grimlock - he has some really nifty ball joints

    My boys like playing with the Marvel version of these. TRU by me had Starscream so I picked it up for them last weekend. Pretty much as expected. I like the look of Hot Rod and Jetfire. For $9.99 they are a decent toy for the price.

    Oops, my bad for mistakenly thinking I had the right to opine on any particular thing.

    Might not be a thread yet because they haven't hit widespread saturation. Only place I've seen these at has been TRU!

    I picked up a Springer so far and I love him, but I also love the Marvel ones as well. Just wish Springer came with a sword instead of the rifle.

    My only complaint on these is the paint -- at least three of the Springers that TRU stocked had horrible, horrible paint, especially in the eyes.

    My next purchase will probably be Megatron, loved the way he looked, just waiting until I can get him at a store that doesn't mark them up past normal MSRP.

    Also, I wish Ultra Magnus was his own figure...

    I can't WAIT until I see JetFire and HotRod! Those look especially cool! I think my next one will be StarScream, just from what I have pictures of.

    Bulkhead is also out! I passed on him for now, the design just wasn't doing it for me.

    He comes with parts for Cliffjumper, for some odd reason.

    I want to like these...but there's something off about the proportions. I can't quite tell if their legs are too short or if their waists are too long.

    I love how Megatron has the "Mash up with Skywarp!"

    The legs are short, but that's okay to me, since I also have SD Gundams, and they are much more disproportional.
    Just think of them as SD Transformers...sort of.

    That concept would have been so much cooler if it was Megatron/Ratchet...

    @Falcon -- Yeah, I don't begrudge anyone for liking them. I was very, very close to making the purchase.

    I didn't see a SkyWarp, nor did I see an UltraMagnus...that's weird that they come with one piece of a figure not out.

    I have the Green Goblin one. He's pretty cool. I might get Starscream or something eventually.

    I have a feeling I'll be purchasing most of the G1 characters. So far I have Megatron, Optimus Prime, Springer, and Starscream. I've also purchased two extra Starscream figures with the idea that I'll repaint them into Skywarp and Thundercracker someday.

    I've been a fan since I first saw the promo pics. Now that I have them in hand, I have to say that I like them more than I thought I would! You definitely have to spend more time looking for good paint on these guys before purchase, but other than that I have no complaints.

    So yay or nay, do the joints and limbs from the two lines work with each other?

    I don't have any, but it is most likely compatible.

    These seem like modernized Action Masters. Anyone else share the sentiment?
