    ^This.

    But honestly I find these just lazy and bland looking. I'm still puzzled by the fact they didn't use the GDO Hot Spot retooled head for "Protectobots" Hot Spot?

    Thats 100% why I'm passing on these sets I really want the protectobots, and i really like the blue hotspot and already have it.

    The movie figure completely 150% don't match in capacity with CHUG figures,
    beyond being based on horrible barf movie designs. It's like trying to mix adam west batman, and arkham city batman figures totally differnt looks!

    Plus I think michael Bay is my most hated human in all of existance. I don't want to give him a single red cent. I don't support buying movie figures in any capacity. and will not buy a movie figure.

    For example i want the grimlock 2-pack with the g1 colored foc grimlock. But I'm going to buy it loose without the crappy movie version.

    I always wanted to get the chug hotspot, but my walmarts (all four of them) never had any chugs for the past three years, just prime stuff. What's the difference between this hotspot and the last one? Is it a big difference?

    The other Hot Spot was a TRU exclusive in the US, so that's why you didn't find him at Walmart.

    This new one is a red version of Grapple.

    If they were doing TF Prime version Protectobots, why not use the Magnus firetruck and Airachnid copter molds? Throw in Prime Ratchet with a new head for First Aid. Aesthetically, I would have used TF Animated Prowl for Groove, although it would have looked ALOT like his Asia exclusive counterpart.
