    Some of the "steps" in the instructions are reeeally generous.

    Step 1: Rotate toy 180 degrees
    Step 2: Lock arms in place
    Step 3: Rotate toy 180 degrees again
    Step 4: Apply blast effect
    Step 5: Rotate toy 180 degrees again
    Step 5: Rotate ramp backpack up
    Step 6: Have a snack
    Step 7: Rotate toy 180 degrees again

    True enough. One of the two will do just fine. I've got stuff from both. Though I prefer Nonnef's prices. :lol 

    Yeah, but it was optional on the Universe figure and I never liked the look of it then either. Plus, half the copies from what I remember back then it didn't function like it was supposed to and if it did it looked kind of dumb.

    Ok, as for ER Bumblebee, are we expecting his front hood area (which become the feet) to be yellow plastic, or painted yellow?

    I ask because removing that Auto logo on his foot and placing one on his chest/roof is going to be my first move, ONLY if trying to remove it doesn't mess up the figure.

    I believe people had trouble removing Cliffjumpers. I simply applied a clear one to his chest, looks awesome. (but then has two in alt mode)

    I'm just trying to make out the orientation of the map piece behind him on the card. I love me some map.

    Haha guilty and obviously photoshopped, just trying to relay what I see in my head.:D  I will pick him up regardless. But I do want a 3rd party tiny head for him...would make him seem much, much larger.

    I hope they distribute Double-crossed in sufficient quantities. I still have not come across a Slitherfang.

    Damn, the warnings and legal stuff on packaging is so big nowadays, I just wish instead of stupid ass map cards we go bios and stats. How is any kid supposed to get into the character without looking it up on TFwiki?

    Doublecrosser is nice. He might be a ramp/shield but I like we're slowly getting new characters. His colors are really lovely.

    I can't see any of the repacks getting a third go so I suspect Slitherfang's case will be 4 of him, 2 each of Slitherfang and Soundbarrier

    These things aren't retools anymore. They're planned at inception to be multiple characters..

    I believe the only listing is/was in the Target system, I am not aware that there has been any confirmation officially of his exclusivity. I was under the impression he was to be general retail.

    I saw it mentioned on a post a few pages back but I didn't see any confirmation for it...

    I don't even have a Target near me. Target exclusives gives me the most anxiety.

    Whew.

    It amuses me that he and his rival Fort Max have both ended up the most humanoid-accurate scale (we are big headed beings) at roughly 6 1/2 to 7 heads tall, and it sticks out because almost every other contemporary modern TF figure sticks to the 8 and a half heads tall Heroic scale of ancient Greek & Roman sculpture most likely by way of comic books influencing animation. They look odd but that's because they are the most "human"! :lol

    When I was a kid, Optimus Minor was Primal's son. I have no idea if the bio explained why he was "Optimus" but that's how I ran with it.
