Didn't see a thread for this and we shall probably need one. Mostly I wanted to say I wish it was tomorrow afternoon already. :p
Is this the first year in a good while Hasbro hasn't had some random website do an article on at least a few of their new reveals like two days before the reveals...
Admission: I've never cared much about the Stunticons. The Aerialbots were always my combiner team as a kid, and the Stunticons were the boring ones I let my little brother play with.
When I bought Dragstrip I assumed I'd complete the team. And they DO look better than the CW versions, but...
Y'know some of those toys are a Stretch for Buzzworthy but at this point it's been all over the place enough that I'd fully accept them. I do wish they'd given Barbecue a more Bumblebee inspired color scheme though.
-ZacWillian, that costume would probably read decently as a bee keeper in...
My Amazon order of Tarrantulas just shipped this morning. Despite still saying December when I went to bed last night.
-ZacWilliam, Elita still says Dec.
It's worth noting that QC varies a lot between figures sometimes. My Road Rocket is absolutely fine. No joints that were even a little loose.
-ZacWilliam, no QC issues at all, she's a great figure. Clampdown too.
No. But then this is Shadowstrip. There's room for why the new name lore-bits, ("Has entered the race under an assumed name after Scourge forbid the Stunticons from competing.") or interesting "why's he in the race" story-bits ("Was ordered to help Scourge win, but has decided to go for it...
Yeah, these four small crowded pages of fun Comic has made the Velocitron capsule my favorite TF toyline this year.Because they are a fun energetic story that clearly loves its subject.
-ZacWilliam, where as the rest of Hasbro's offerings are completely story less and hence so much more grey...
Well Hot Rod and Shadowstrip's bios are about as boring as possible. Hot Rod joined the race to show people he's fast and Shadowstrip is just described like Dragstrip, someone who'll do anything to win.
Crasher's is a hair more interesting, but just a hair. They describe her personality as...
If I didn't have the first I'd be cool biting on the second. Difference isn't enough for me to even consider buying him again.
-ZacWilliam, I like the concept of a toy and a Cartoon version being made but I absolutely dont need both.
It's not an obvious choice I admit, but it's not like we ever saw her RiD robot form in the show and I'm very into the idea of more lady TFs with varied body types.
-ZacWiliam, her being a thief and Doubledealer being kind of a con man made me make the jump in my head I think.
Hmm, just as an Exercise, what I'd do if I had to use each:
Optimus Prime - New Head (Previously Micromaster) Overload
Ultra Magnus - New Character, M.A.S.T. (Mobile Army Surgical Transport) named "Lifeline" Medical Deco.
Beast Megatron - Armada Predacon
Galvatron - Straxus remold
Blitzwing...
There's 1 Voyager in Wave 2 - We know it's a Hot Rod. Probably a repaint of the SS. No one know what it looks like but current theory is toy colors.
There's also 1 new Leader in Wave 2 - No one has any clue what it will be.
-ZacWilliam, the Leader is already in US warehouses so you'd think a...
Feel like posting thoughts, so:
Tra Gen Legacy Ev Deluxe ShadowStriker
Product Number: F7197
-I know this is a reliable source but this showing up so soon after the Shadowstrip debacle is almost too "no really" in a way that feels fake. I don't really expect it to be, but I would love it if...
Imagine the uproar if they passed over the popular RiD Strongarm and made the epitome of forgettable nobody E Strongarm instead.
-ZacWilliam, it'd be Shadowstri again.
Damn. Went to my Walmart and they had all the Deluxes except Cosmos. Drat.
-ZacWilliam, bought the last Clampdown mostly because who knows if I'll see one again.
It appears to be set up where you can just vote endlessly and spam whatever you want.
I've voted 3 times when I remember it exists. Bulkhead, Lugnut and Sari for Animated and Bomb-Burst all three times for best toy.
-ZacWilliam, love me some Bomb-burst.
