That's one thing I liked about animated, the Autobots won the great war, and a lot of them were total jerks, it added a lot of depth to the characters at least compared to the other series. I agree that prime feels flat.

That really was the coolest. The Autobots were straight up shady assholes. Making giant lobotimized robots to go on kill rampages, dangerous experiments on critically wounded factory workers. What the hell didn't Ultra Magnus sign off on? I also liked having Magnus as the leader instead of Prime since it gave Prime a chance to be a character.

Man, Voyager Beast Hunters Shockwave is a terrible Transformer, but it's a hell of a toy.

He looks fantastic as a robot but has an absolutely imcomprehensible transformation and alt mode. Also, I can't get his tread to hold in his gun to make the connection line regrettably. Still one of the best looking ROBOTS even if it's a garbage Transformer if that makes sense. He's so beefy and purple and monoeyed~~~ :swoon:

To be honest, I've never gotten a Shockwave figure for the altmode. Even the G1 laser gun was kind of lame (*HERESY*). BH Shocky is one of the best Shockwaves out there.

I actually love the Space Cadillac FoC one. I think it's a cool looking Cybertronian alt mode plus the robot mode is so drat Shockwavey. I will agree that Shockwave is overall a super cool looking robot first and a transformer second as far as his figures go. I also always thought turning into a gun was kind of retarded.

So I got Soundwave and he is truly glorious. I have one question though; there is this grey piece that comes with him and I have no idea what it connects to or even does. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I'll get a picture later. Also how does the energon cube work?

I bought the Blowcaine Thrillionaire aka YOTH Prime and I think he's rad as hell. Love the gold chrome on it for some reason. The super dark helmet also makes his baby blues stand out even more. I wasn't thrilled about the trailer but its grown on me considerably. Ugh, this thread tricked me into getting into MPs and now O have Prime, Soundwave, and Starscream with Wheeljack and Bee preordered. Thanks for nothing, jerks.

I really wish they had more MP Decepticons because I've always liked them better than the Autobots but such is life. Not hopping on Quakewave is one of my bigger regrets in my toy buying life.

This might be a stupid question, but I'm on a kick of getting some MPs and was thinking about getting MP Prowl because PRowl rules. Did he ever get a domestic release? Also whats a good price on him? Finally, I heard MP Grimlock might be getting a re-release? Any reality to that?

Is this going to be another "Soundwave's Eyes" incident?

Edit: Broke down and bout Evasion Prime. I hate his toe feet but his leg assembly is the best implementation of "legs-for-a-truck-bed" I've ever seen, and it's like the first time using the soles of the feet as the truck bed has ever looked convincing. His head is terrible though.

That's why I'm just waiting on that two pack.

Since we're on the topic of Prime, I hope that Knockout makes a return in fiction. I honestly loved him. He was such a good character with tons of personality. On that note, Id love Lugnut to make another appearance. It's nice to see such good new characters mixed in with the revolving door of the same old stuff.

I almost didn't pick him up because I don't like the transparent trailer it has but I did and I honestly love it. The dark color scheme looks really great and it's honestly just a fantastic mold in general. Glad I have it to stand around with Soundwave and Grimlock. Is anyone still looking for Grimlock? I just saw some at one of the TRU on my way home from work the other day. I'm in Ohio and can send it @ cost + shipping if anyone needs it. My email is ryuk8488@yahoo.com if anyone wants me to go look for them.

You gotta put some stickers on him! I went with Wrekcers over Autobot because Roadbuster gets so #Wrekt. I also grabbed Sky Byte who is a nightmare of poo poo paint apps so I'm getting a new one mailed to me from Hasbro. I really like him as a toy however. Windblade is also really cool although Jihaxious is the most insane color I've ever seen.

I'd recommend picking up Arcee (with Chromia since that's the only way they're still selling her) from BBTS while they still have her if you want to guarantee yourself an Arcee. Between being in the final wave of the line and being scalped to all hell she's going to be rare.

I feel so colossally ignorant as to who I need to buy for the combiners that aren't Devastator or Bruticus. Can someone give me a rundown? The packaging showing one of Menasor's dudes attached to Superion scares and confuses me.

Yeah, RiD looks really ugly and I've seen the toys in stores and they don't look great. Is the show even out yet? I never hear anyone talking about it. Is it so meh that the fandom forgot it exists?

The first three episodes aired in Australia from what I understand. I watched it and it's was enjoyable enough. The Decepticons all have these odd bestial robot modes but turn into cars and stuff which is so strange to me.

HTS has all the Menasor and Superion stuff up again if anyone is looking to get them. FAMILY2015 still works as well to a discount.

I grabbed Motormaster today after work and I really like him a lot. I'm not sure I'm getting Menasor's legs right since they seem pretty wide and wonky, but whatever. Looking forward to deeply segregating my Autobots and Decepticons again. Menasor is just confused with his jet friends.

However I'm surprised that Beast Wars 10th Dinobot is, I wanted to get him to complete my collection of Dinobot repaints/retools but he's apparently more fragile than BW Grimlock since he's made entirely out of Gold Plastic.

But he has two types of fragile gold plastic that don't mix well together, so he's even worse than Randy.

He does? Uh oh... I never realized it. Time to never touch him again...
