    I can live without it. Articulated hands are not the big winner for me, and if I want a battle armor trailer version I can get out the POTP Prime...that is my canon for it anyway. Prime reverts to Pax and the team builds him an armor trailer to power back up when the Decepticons go after the former Prime.

    So, I really like the Cybertron versions in the Siege line so I don't feel like I am buying the same toy over and over and I like the idea of a before/after version. That said, I am excited for Grapple, which I never had as a kid, and since I have Inferno from POTP, they look totally different, so I like that. I am hoping we don't get updates of the characters released already like Prowl, Hound, Ironhide, etc. I know we are getting Prime, and I know we will always get a new Prime, which is okay. Unless the new Seeker mold is amazing I am going to stick with the Tetra Jets until the Coneheads are hopefully released. The good news is that if they are just updates, I will spend less than I did with the Siege line, so my wallet and wife will be happier...now bring on NYCC so we can see what kind of Wheeljack we are getting!

    Anyone who turns out Impactor's right hand is an undercover cop

    Nope. I put out of sight on friday and bring a bunch home for the kids to play with. We have tight security. If someone stole them, I'd be able to figure out who it is.

    Slightly odd question but for those who have Jetfire, how does his box size compare to the Combiner Wars Combiner Box Sets? Or the Alphastrike Squadron (aka Covert Sideswipe and co) box set from Siege for that matter?

    I'll probably want that new Optimus with the Earth form. PotP Prime may be my go to, but the Megatron in Siege needs a buddy his own size to beat on. Wonder who will be the "Big Guy" of the new line.

    Thanks. I tend to make sure to put a few donations in when they come around. Small town, so not always a lot of the "hip" new toys to get donated.

    I need to whittle some money off my credit card debt and THEN think about getting Jetfire. The one time I found it at Walmart I had to leave it on the shelf; have yet to find one at the clearance price.

    Interestingly so does GUP Optimus.
    So clearly he goes from Voyager Prime, upgrades to Galaxy Prime and gets yellow eyes, and flies through space and then crashes on Earth totalling the Galaxy Armour and assuming an Earth Mode :cool: ;)
