Not too much to say, but is it just me, or does Snarl remind anyone of someone here?

I kind of got the impression that Snarl (and maybe others?) were following Grimlock, but when Grimlock joins Optimus team, he just kind of walks away. Alliances in this show are pretty fickle, I guess?

There is mention of a truce, and Grimlock may be putting that and some at risk by doing this, so there may be more to it than just capricious abandonment.

Sorry, I worded that badly. XD

I mean does anyone here feel like Snarl reminds them of someone?

He's just reminding me of another character, I think, but I can't pinpoint who.

There's a little bit of Hot Rod with him being the "cool young guy."

There's a little bit of Sideways with him sneaking around in the background, spying and advising slightly questionably.

And there's what feels like a little bit of a nerd but might just be the subtle nerdy style of the show. There's a point where he touches his glasses with a finger in this last episode that felt VERY anime nerd to me.


-ZacWilliam, curious to see where, if anywhere, he goes.

I didn't get the feeling that Snarl was abandoning Grimlock over this, just that "lurking in the shadows" was just his usual deal. Like, "If you need me, I'll be around. If you don't need me, I'll still probably be around, but you'll never know."

Got Elita-1, probably take more pics later, but I just thought I'd share this little detail:

So, the nose of the boat folds back so it's not sticking up over her head, and it's spring loaded for whatever reason. Anyway, someone sculpted a winch and hook on the hinge! It's a cool little detail that doesn't need to be there, but I thought it was neat enough to share!

That's a very clever bit of sculpting! I always love it when the designer finds ways to make bits that are necessary for the toy to work look like they actually belong on the "in-universe" character.

Very reminiscent of BW Insecticon. Front mandible is removable, but doesn't have to to transform. Rearmost bug legs are movable, attached with a 5mm post. A solid figure with the usual Cyberworld limited articulation. The weapon is a little weird; I guess it's meant to be a hammer? Then it opens up into a claw, but also a sword? It's a fun little mechanism, but I still can't shake the feeling this play system would be better served with a "loot crate" of assorted random weapons and armor instead of these "action feature" weapons...

Starscream and Mirage share a body design, but have different heads and paint apps. It's a pretty serviceable jet mode, the forward-swept wings remind me of Animated Starscream, while Mirage reminds me strongly of the Super Gobot, Raizor.
(just needs a rotor on top and all the parts molded in white...)

I would love to see this mold redecoed in Animated's blue, Armada's red, Sunstorm yellow, pretty much every color scheme except the usual Thundercracker and Skywarp redecos. Mirage wears it quite well, and I would like to see more outside-the-box decos like that!
